Meal Planning: Week of November 10th

Review from last week:

We did end up getting Indian food on Saturday night (OMYUM) so I made the lasagna stuffed spaghetti squash on Monday (and then again on Wednesday) and it was so freaking good.  It was so filling and was amazing for lunch the next day.  

The Italian Wedding Soup was also good!  I failed to get a picture of it, but here is one of Greg enjoying it :)  Since we had a Costco sized bag of meatballs in our freezer, I cheated and used those instead of making my own.  It also made for great leftovers.

We tried Plated this week, but so far I've only had the chance to make one dish.  (The delivery arrived at 7pm on Wednesday, much too late for these early bird diners).  Blue Apron wins this round.  But the meal, Pork Chops with Cider Gravy and Roasted Fennel Apple Salad, was good!

Plan for next week:

Friday:  Dinner with Brenna, Noah and Paige!  Planning to make Roasted Red Pepper and Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breast with Roasted Brussels sprouts with garlic, prosciutto and pine nuts, and homemade bread (see recipe from a few weeks back).  

Saturday:  Cougle Dinner!  Since Rachel and Peter closed on their home in Edmonds on this week, we are planning to celebrate with a surf and turf feast (with buerre blanc, of course)!!  And because I'm impulsive and obsessed with Top Chef, I might try to recreate one of the dishes we saw on Wednesday's episode, which is similar to this (except I'll add Pancetta).

Sunday: The Beef and Broccoli stir from from Plated (last week).

Monday: Chicken and Potato Florentine Soup

Tuesday: Blue Apron - Crispy Salmon & Barley-Fennel Risotto with Fresh Herb & Red Walnut Salad.

Wednesday: Blue Apron - Flank Steaks & Creamed Kale with Sunchokes Two Ways.

Thursday: Blue Apron - Thai Chicken Meatballs with Red Coconut Curry, Bok Choy & Rice Noodles.
