My main goal for this week was to try to get in some lighter foods that wouldn’t generate a lot of leftovers since we already have a fridge full of them from Thanksgiving. Hopefully things like meal 1 and 6 will help with this goal.
Thanksgiving exists for Turkey Tetrazzini, so that’s pretty much a no-brainer for this week’s plan. I believe there would be riots if I didn’t make it. Meal 4, the meatballs, is a carryover from last week when I screwed up my ankle and ended up spending dinner time at Urgent Care instead of cooking.
I really do try to avoid making the (recipes that feature in my monthly Recipe Roundup posts, since those are the things I cook the most and I try not to let myself get stuck in ruts, but there’s something to be said for comfort food that you know and love, so this week has me making three of those top ten (recipes.
Maybe next week I’ll devote some time to a new cookbook again but, for this week, it’s tried and true favorites.
