Hey, thanks for the shout-out, Jane! It made me feel special today! (I needed that–the toddler pooped in inappropriate places and the baby’s reflux was out of control)
Ah, the Shark. I will conquer the Shark. The taste was good, but it was dry. I can’ seem to find a way to cook it through without drying it out. My oven broiler is fixed now. I’m trying that next. Definitely not this week, though.
Here’s my week
M: potstickers & eggrolls (from Sam’s Club) & fried rice (Happy Chinese New Year)
T: Leftovers from Mon and Sunday (Very busy day)
w: Nacho Bar (5 yr old has been begging for this)
Th: Breakfast Toast Pizza — It was sampled at the grocery store this week (HEB for you Texans) and was really tasty
F: Pomegranate Chicken (more like a weak curry, found it online–very tasty)
S: Leftovers (hopefully)
S: Didn’t know it’s the Superbowl (refer to earlier comment about poop and spit–I’m out of touch) I’ll probably grill some basic burgers and have veggies & dip
Very uninspired this week. I am having a freezer meal trade with some friends Wed night. That usually perks me up for a while.
Jealousy! We lived in the bay area for three years while my husband was in school, and I always wanted to go to Lake Tahoe and we never did it. Shame on us. Glad you had such a great time!
Sun- Cream cheese chicken, strawberry spinach salad, wheat rolls, pina colada birthday cake
Mon- Orange chicken
T- Broccoli calzones
W- Chicken salad with apples and grapes
Th- bacon-topped chicken with glazed carrots and potato skins
F- out
Sat- spinach prosciutto lasagna, per your idea. Can’t wait to try it!
