They have whole pork loin on sale for $2/lb at Loblaws this week, so we are buying one and cutting it into roast and chop portions for the freezer. Tuesday’s Chicken Pot Pie is going to be the Recipe of the Week. It’s a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken. The Hot and Sour Soup is going to used up the leftovers from Sunday’s pork roast.
There aren’t really any big sales this week, so I’m just making what I feel like eating. Sunday’s dinner is fully experimental–the idea came to me as I was falling asleep one night last week. I will let you know how it turns out on the Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/Xratedfood/). If it goes well, it will show up again in the coming weeks as a recipe link. If you have been following the Weekly Plan, you’ll see Burgers up again tomorrow night. We’re not having them two nights in a row, though; I went to Costco today and bought a BBQ chicken, as you do when you go to Costco, so we have switched burgers out for BBQ Chicken Naan Pizza. And finally, Friday’s Mexican Chicken and Rice will be the Recipe of the Week. Look for that to be posted on Monday. Continue reading
I’m getting my mobility back, so this week’s plan includes recipes that can be prepped quickly, and then left alone while they cook. My oldest son has been enlisted to start cooking a meal a week for the family, so he will be following the recipe of the week for that night’s dinner. This week it will be Thursday’s Beef Tortellini Minestrone with Garlic Bread and will be posted Monday morning. Continue reading
I’m still out of commission on the cooking front, so this week’s Meal Plan has a lot of quick and easy dishes my husband and son can prepare. There are great specials on beef this week at Loblaws, so our Easter Sunday dinner is going to be roast beef tenderloin with all the yummy side dishes. We will be making use of the leftover beef for dinner on Tuesday. The recipe of the week is going to be Thursday’s Garlic Butter Shrimp Linguine. It will be posted Monday morning. Let me know if you give the recipe a try, and please feel free to ask if you have any questions about the other meals. Continue reading
Sorry for the late post this week. Your blogger is experiencing technical difficulties. Loblaws has their whole Free From brand chickens on sale for $2.49/lb this week, so we will be roasting two on Saturday and living off the leftovers for a few days. The Free From chickens are worth buying, especially when they’re on sale, because they are a much more flavourful bird than the regular chickens. And remember, since your oven is fully hot anyway it doesn’t cost any more to cook two chickens at the same time and get leftovers for easy prep meals during the week or to have cooked chicken on hand in the freezer. The Chicken Tortilla Soup is going to be the featured recipe this week, so look for that posting Monday morning. Continue reading
I’m a little food obsessed. I always have been. I don’t eat to live; I live to eat. I’m not a professional chef. At best I’m an interested amateur, a home cook with some knowledge and skills. What I am, though, is a planner. I like to know what’s happening, what’s coming up, and what might happen, so I can plan accordingly.
