Baked Potato Soup
Recently meals seem to be a combination of leftovers and recipes I’ve made before, so I haven’t had that many new recipes to share. This week’s meal plan, however, has five new recipes! Life is slowly getting back to normal for us, Art is able to be home again for weekends now that the snow is (knock on wood) gone. I do have two nights of leftovers planned this week because a) we have a lot of leftovers and b) it’s easier on choir nights to skip the meal prep parts of dinner.
I turned to the 2008 Cook’s Country Annual and the 2009 Cook’s Illustrated Annual for meal planning inspiration. Those recipes feature in meals 2, 4, 6, and 7.
Since we’re all going to be home this weekend and all of next week, I’m also planning to get around to making the Baked Potato Soup I had hoped to make last week. We’re slowly making a dent in the food supplies – here’s hoping we don’t get more snow as soon as the fridge is manageable again.
