So, last week was kind of a wash for us. Since we all had the flu we didn't do much cooking or much of anything. At least we did manage to get some stuff done yesterday. We went to Target, did some furniture shopping (we're going to buy a sofa sleeper for the basement) and baked banana bread (had to use up the bananas that sat on the counter all week that nobody wanted :P). And of course I got caught up on cleaning and laundry...always a priority after someone is sick. We are all getting back to normal now and are ready for a busy week. We are having our yearly review with our investment advisor (Edward Jones, EJ) on Tuesday. A new semester of Kindermusik starts on Wednesday. I have to get my thyroid tested (again). I'd like to go shopping for birthday and Valentine's Day gifts. And Justin's parents will be here Friday/Saturday (which will add some to-dos to my list). Saturday evening Justin is going to a hockey game with people from work.
For meals this week there will be some repeat from last week's menu since I didn't end up cooking much. I'm also trying to eat really healthy this week and attempt to get my GI system back on track. The flu sure does a number on me. And I'll post Friday's menu later.
Not too much time for extras this week. I have some baking to do for the weekend. And I might do some more cake baking (I did manage to bake my dad's birthday cake last week...after Rebecca and I were feeling better) for upcoming birthday cakes.
Here are this week's meals:
S - (church, put up nursery forms) - crockpot tortilla soup w/ tortilla chips, avocado, shredded cheese (lunch); leftover squash soup (Justin), salad (me) (dinner)
M - (Meijer, bake) - salad (me), some kind of pork chops (Justin)
T - (bake, EJ, prep ahead) - coffee cake and pear slices (breakfast), tomato soup in crockpot, grilled cheese and homemade crackers w/ cheese
W - (KM) - black bean burrito bake w/ salsa, avocado, sour cream
Th - (thyroid check, bday/Vday shopping, clean, class) - leftovers, misc.
F - (clean, prep dinner, Voogts) - posted later
S - (Voogts, Griffins game) - leftovers/misc. or salmon patties, veggie, fruit (just Rebecca and me)
Using REAL food to heal the mind and body. Trust in God and eat the food. Eet Smakelijk!
Still looking forward to your review of the tomato soup you're doing. Is it the one from A Year of Slow Cooking?? I just noticed this week you mentioned doing it in the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all your to-dos this week! Glad you're all feeling back to normal!!
