Okay, I promise this is the last Trader Joe’s talk for a while…but I tried the Aebleskiver/Danish Pancakes from the frozen section this weekend and they’re great! The girls loved them. We cooked them in the oven (not the microwave) and they were super crispy on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. Definitely a better freezer find than the cannoli.
I can’t believe it’s time for another menu. I know I say this all the time, but where does the time go?!
MONDAY:
– Tostadas made with Chicken Tostada Goop
– Guacamole and chips
TUESDAY:
– Stuffed Peppers
WEDNESDAY:
– Leftovers
THURSDAY:
– Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’ll be eating something green…need to think about it a bit!
FRIDAY:
– Rachel sandwiches
SATURDAY:
– Eat out
SUNDAY:
– Continuing with the Sunday Breakfast-for-Dinner theme…I think a frittata sounds nice, flavor tbd!
Your turn! Please share your menu for the week! I love how many wonderful menus we are getting each week…thank you all!

there are lots of great non-perishable items you can totally stock up on – last time my sister-in-law drove to california, she filled the car! 🙂 and 45 minutes, you could even do a cooler for the freezer stuff…would be a fund trip! 🙂

Where does the time go? I feel like I just came up with my menu for last week… Well, this week is all about quick-and-easy for us. On Thursday, we’re headed out of town for a long weekend. Plus, we’re getting ready to move, so will be busy packing our apartment in addition to our bags. In short, not a ton of time to cook big elaborate meals. So we’ll be keeping it simple but yummy:
Sunday: Tofu with Brussels Sprouts
Monday: Pizza with Shaved Asparagus, Lemon & Pine Nuts
Tuesday: Simple Spaghetti
Wednesday: Sesame Noodles with Tofu, Cucumber & Arame (http://missiondelectable.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/sesame-noodles-with-tofu-cucumber-arame/). Yes, I made these last week too. I just couldn’t resist making them again; they’re so good, and so easy. The only problem with these noddles is going to be resisting making them all the time…
Thursday: Head to Utah for a long ski weekend. This surely means that plenty of meat, potatoes, and beer will be consumed! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I’m so happy you’re happy to have found the blog! 🙂 look forward to seeing your menus each week!
Loved seeing aebleskiver in this week’s post! I was introduced to it by my best friend (who met a wonderful man online, fell in love, and moved to Denmark to be with him) one Christmas when she and her now husband came to visit. We actually made it in his grandma’s special pan. Last Christmas, my husband and I went to visit and we had more aebleskiver, this time from the freezer section just like you! The Danish eat them with powdered sugar just like your photo, but also dip them in jam.
how fun! 🙂 and, even though it’s not in the picture, those little aebleskiver you see in that photo were dipped in copious amounts of peach freezer jam 🙂 yum!
