After looking back at my planner for the past few months and seeing we've been eating the SAME five or six things each week, I was motivated to plan some different things this week!
We're doing ribs and a side salad tonight. Maybe some roasted potatoes as well. Turkey breast and roasted veggies later this week. I forget what else we bought.

I was really proud of myself for making blueberry muffins AND potato sausage soup yesterday. I haven't planned other meals yet. I'm feeling better but still taking it one day at a time. Take-out tonight. Hoping to make a bolognese sauce tomorrow for dinner.
Mon: Burgers and salad Tues: Panko crusted pork chops and sautéed kale Weds: Chicken curry Thurs: Wild salmon with a teriyaki glaze, rice and sugar snap peas Fri: Clean out the fridge veggie/grain bowls
@SkilledSailor Thanks! MH is happy to have me back in the kitchen He will definitely be making a few of those meals though! That soup sounds yummy - do you have a recipe?
@jaylii Those burritos sound delicious! I saved that recipe to make sometime soon

@southernlady07 I do! I love that it's getting passed on. I originally found it when someone shared it on TTGP. I substitute vegetarian ingredients, which I can share if anyone is interested.
8 7 medium red potatoes (about 2.5-3 lbs.), coarsely
chopped (and unpeeled, if you choose!)
9 5 oz. fresh kale, chopped. Frozen works fine, too.
10
13.5 oz. can full fat coconut milk (My recipe originally called for only 8 oz. of coconut
milk. I changed it to the full 13.5 oz. can because it is creamier this way! It
does give it the very slightest hint of coconut. If you want to avoid the hint
of coconut, lower it to 8 oz.)_
Salt and pepper, to taste
11
In a large stock pot or Dutch Oven, melt the beef tallow. Read my update above on how to get healthy, organic
kitchen staples online at reasonable prices.
12
Add the Italian sausage and cook on
medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned.
Monday: shredded chicken sandwiches, coleslaw, sweet potato fries Tuesday: veggie noodle spaghetti with ground turkey meatballs Wednesday: egg, cheese and spinach breakfast wraps with fruit salad Thursday: take out Friday: kabobs on the grill, kale salad
a lot of this is not really cooking, it is assembling
