I’m making the lasagne for a second time because the first time I made it I tried these pre-cooked lasagne noodles (what could go wrong???). It was a noodle failure, but the rest of it was delicious (after picking out 3 layers of noodles that did not cook). So, I’m trying it again using proper noodles 😉
Thanks for the reminder of a Christmas Party. I had to go change a supper plan due to how long it would take and me wanting an earlier meal that night.
Lunches:
Eat Out
Chocolate Chili (leftovers)
Salad
Grilled Peaches and pork, side salad
Healthy Slow Cooked Tikka Masala, rice, sliced tomatoes
Spicy Pan Fried Sirloin Steak with noodles, beets, peas
Pizza
Supper:
Leftovers
Tomato Soup, grilled flat bread
Falafels, side salad
Crepes, fruit
Lentil-Tomato Soup, corn bread muffins
Sandwiches (Date Night!)
Black Bean Soup, corn bread muffins
Again, nothing new this week and most suppers and several lunches can be made or reheated in the crockpot. It is going to be a crazy week, so I am trying to do a few things easier.
I’m in trial this week. I don’t cook when I’m in trial, but I still meal plan on the off chance the schedule changes and the trial doesn’t happen. So, I have my meals planned and what I’ll eat if I don’t cook!
