Test Sweet: Bacon Maple Cookies

This meal plan is based around the veggies that we picked up at today’s market.  Meals 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 use those ingredients.  I’m also planning on getting sweet corn from the market next weekend, and that will go with next Saturday’s planned meal.  I wanted to get corn from the market today, but it just would not go with tonight’s planned meal of Spinach and Chicken Curry. 

I have a few meals that are already assigned days due to scheduled happenings in our lives.  Sunday’s meal will be a leftover night, since we have a lot of leftovers we should eat before they go to waste.    Art will be out of town on Tuesday, so Lance and I will be indulging in fish.  I’ll be out of town most of the day on Thursday, so it’s a great night for the slow cooker. 

I’m also preparing for our upcoming trip to GenCon with an attempt at Bacon Maple Cookies which were requested by a friend.  I made Chocolate Bacon Cookies last weekend and they were delicious, so I’m hopeful that these will be as well.  If they are, I’ll be taking batches of both as well as some normal Chocolate Chip Cookies for Lance who is not a fan of the bacon + cookie combination. 

I’m still working on catching up with posts, but I managed to knock out 19 posts in the last week.  Hopefully the coming week will be just as productive.  It would be nice to be all caught up before the GenCon/Boston/New York trip that is swiftly approaching!
