Dinner confession: I'm making brats cooked in beer tonight just so I can have a couple sips of beer before I cover the brats in it! Oh the little things!
Tomorrow: Taco salad in a tortilla bowl with homemade ranch dressing!!
For lunch, leftover roasted red pepper sauce with chicken and pasta, which was suggested last week with Pioneer Woman's short version. I highly recommend! I also used a stick mixer instead of a food processor to puree, so it was even easier. I substituted a can of coconut milk in a double recipe instead of cream for dairy free, it was good.
I work night shift tonight, so I feel that is justification for two very hearty/heavy meals.
We're keeping it simple this week - chicken, steak and pork chops each with a veggie and a side of rice or pasta. I have lost all creativity. I'm dying for stuffed shells though... They'll be on the menu soon, I hope.

Last night I made siracha baked salmon, ginger sesame broccoli and brown rice.. Tonight I'm using the left over salmon to make tacos - corn tortillas with cabbage, guac and creamy cilantro sauce. Tomorrow I'm making roasted chicken breasts on the bone with balsamic spinach salad and fridays we eat out. Woo hoo - I'm usually not this organized
Tonight we had artichoke, caper and pepperoncini chicken breasts with string beans.
Tomorrow will probably be take-out since I work all day on Wednesday and won't get a chance to go to the store. I have such a hard time shopping for the whole week at once. One reason is because it's one of my and DS's outings on days I'm home (Tuesday's and Thursday's) but also because I'm terrible at making a meal plan and sticking to it! Any advice on how you stick to your meal plan despite pregnancy cravings/aversions, which seem to change daily?
@Allisun85 lol. Right? I've actually had the appetite of a snail until today. I'd eat the tiniest amount of food and feel stuffed. But today I went straight up pregnancy crazy on all the food I could get my hands on.
Yesterday I made a braised beef ragu with super cheesy/buttery polenta. I'm super excited it made leftovers so I can eat it for lunch today. This recipe is such a hit in my house and ridiculously easy to make: https://pinchofyum.com/crockpot-braised-beef-ragu-polenta
Had a huge family pack of chicken legs and thighs in the freezer i took out so, Yesterday baked chicken legs and thighs, macaroni and cheese and steamed broccoli, Tonight Crockpot chicken and rice. Friday night, hopefully delivery.
Tonight I'm making a smitten kitchen recipe for spring asparagus and pancetta hash and I'm super excited, and I'm having a runny yolked egg on it (FFFC?). Everything I make of hers is amazing.
@BookhousegirlThat hash is wonderful! I totally agree, I've been using her recipes almost exclusively for the last four years and have had only two that I didn't enjoy. I hosted our Bunco group last night and served the Dijon and Cognac beef stew with the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Pie for dessert. Rave reviews on both but unfortunately some people were too full to have the dessert. Well, maybe fortunately for me!
Re: What's for dinner?? w/o 4/11
Arugula salad: goat cheese, cranberries, candied nuts, bit of chicken, oil and balsamic and some roasted herbed potato wedges.
Quick, easy, yummy and GD friendly for me.
Now I totally want taco salad tomorrow @cal031686 !
@No more Miss! That salad sounds delicious!
I'm dying to make this salad so I've added on the meal plan for Wednesday - https://www.pink-parsley.com/2015/01/roasted-winter-vegetable-chopped.html
