Hi! Happy Sunday! How are you doing?? It amazing to me that we are on week 50 of this year....approaching the end very quickly!
We will be making a grocery run this week, but I'm going to be cooking with what I have until then! Here's what going to be on my menu.
I'll do tacos one night this week! Either breakfast-style with fajita veggies and fried eggs, or I'll do a sweet potato/chickpea version.
I still have pot pie in my recipe docket from last week, so that will be tonight's dinner. This is the recipe I've liked before! I have two butternut squash to use up, so I'll add those. In the past when I've made pot pie, the leftovers have been only so-so since the crust gets kind of soggy. I'm considering trying a different take on pot pie by making the filling just on the stovetop, and baking some biscuits to put on top of our bowls as a stand-in crust. I'll let you know how this goes!
And one night this week I'll do some soup! Maybe a tortellini soup? Or fennel white bean? This Taste of Home recipe looks great! Soups like this are so flexible, and I love that I can add whatever I have on hand.
A Couple Cooks has a great recipe for a red lentil stew in their book, Pretty Simple Cooking! This recipe looks really similar. It's warm and comforting, and pretty simple to put together! Maybe I'll serve with some warm bread and a salad.
Next weekend I want to make Crock Pot vegetarian lasagna. I recently entered my work's Crocktober Fest, and submitted my recipe! I'm happy to report I made it to the finals and was one of top three recipes as voted on by campus. I base my version off this recipe. These leftovers are amazing and I love that you put it together in the morning and then can set it to cook for the rest of the day. I'm planning on doing some cookie making next Saturday. I'll make the lasagna that morning so I don't have to give dinner any thought after baking all day!
What's on your meal plan this week?!
