Meals last week went mostly as planned.  Sort of.  Only one meal was bumped up to this week (meal 1) and one side dish was swapped out for another due to it being on my mind and calling to me.  Not too bad in the scheme of things, especially since I’m still fighting whatever plague I’ve had since the beginning of October! 

The theme this week is ground beef.  Why?  Because ground beef (recipes tend to be cheaper in terms of ingredients and I’ll be buying dry ingredients for Thanksgiving during this week’s shopping trip as well.  I don’t want to have too much sticker shock when I check out. 

Art is also getting home on Friday from his first business trip to England (yay!) and then he’ll be home through Thanksgiving before going back.

(As a reminder, the order posted is not the order in which these meals will be eaten.  Our leftover supply is running low, so I’ll probably be making the casserole type things earlier in the week.  Although the tatsoi is on its last legs, so that meal will definitely be first.)

Edit: I didn’t get around to making the lunch recipe or the test run of the chocolate cakes.  I guess this means I’ll be making the cakes for the first time at Thanksgiving and just hoping that everything works out well!
