1. Smoked Beef Brisket w/ Hushpuppies
2. Chicken Parmesan Pot Pie
3. Leftovers for choir
4. Three-Cheese Baked Penne
5. Tuna Casserole
6. Sonoma Chicken Salad
7. Manicotti w/ Garlic Toast Out to local Greek place!
This week’s meal plan doesn’t have any sort of cohesive goal, so bear with me as I explain things.
Meal 2 and 3 were the first, and easiest, days to fill in on the schedule. Chicken Parmesan Pot Pie is a holdover from last week, since we turned to emergency rations instead, and meal 3 is choir night. I will be home all alone (by myself, in the dark) for meal 5 so I’ll be making the trashiest meal in my repertoire – Tuna Casserole. Yum. Those were the easy meals to plan.
Lance will be away for meal 6, so Art and I will be feasting on nut-containing chicken salad. Meal 1 has been planned since last weekend when I gave Art his Christmas present early. He’s super excited to try it out and decided that revisiting Brisket would be the safest place to start.
Then I turned to the 2009 Cook’s Country Annual to fill in the gaps – Hush Puppies were chosen to go with the Brisket and meal 7 also came from the book. Meal 4 comes from the need to update a picture.
Hopefully it will be a tasty week here at Chez Gwen! And, also hopefully, I will start to plan next week, the week of DOOM, er, Thanksgiving.
