this week’s menu. And when I say this week I kind of mean for like a few days, randomly.

Tuesday
Lunch: whole wheat pancakes and bacon
Dinner: restaurant (we eat out every Tuesday night after swimming lessons

Wednesday
Lunch: lefotver soup (broccoli or lentil)
Dinner: uh, I go to an exercise class at dinner time so the kids eat something easy and Dan has a protein shake after lifting weights. I have something light when I get home. Not exactly gourmet.

Thrusday
Lunch: salad
Dinner: szechuan stir-fry (with extra red pepper flakes for me pls)*

*I know, that was on last week’s menu but if you recall, we ended up going out for dinner that night so it was bumped.

Friday
Lunch: avacado tuna salad for dan and raw veg and avacado dipping sauce for me and the kids. We will also have hard boiled eggs and cheeses for protein. We call this having a ‘cold plate’.
Dinner: bbq chicken, french cheese potatoes* and broccoli.

*I know, that was on last week’s menu too but we didn’t feel like having them so they too were bumped.

This week’s menu is, I grant you, not such a thrill. It is largely a repeat of alst week, I guess, in places. But I said I would post them and post them I shall.

Salad with cheese and garlic biscuits. Went over extremely well even though this is hardly a fascinating or difficult meal. I’ve done cheese biscuits before (who hasn’t?) but this time went a little simpler with the recipe. Instead of putting a bunch of spices and doing a butter/garlic salt topping I made my basic whole wheat biscuits and just added sharp cheddar and garlic powder. Dan had six. There is something about a biscuit that just makes my mouth water and these were damned good.

Tonight was supposed to be szechuan stir-fry with extra spicey szechuan but I forgot we were going out for dinner so that’s been bumped until Thursday. I’m not sure I can wait.

The current menu can be seen here.

What did you have for lunch? Got a recipe you want to share?

I tried out a new recipe tonight. Super fucking good and man alive easy. Seriously. EASY and SFG. I know you don’t like blue cheese but shut up and try this, you big baby.

blue cheese pasta

Three ingredients, ready in ten minutes. Come on, right? Kicks the ass of alfredo. KICKS IT IN THE ASS. Swear.

It’s French which is English for fancy.

This week’s menu:

Thursday:
lunch: (homemade) broccoli potato soup
dinner: blue cheese pasta

Friday:
going out, whoopie!

Saturday:
lunch: sammiches on fresh bread (because hello? it’s fresh bread, stupid)
dinner: bbq steak, cheese potatoes, corn (because Madison will eat corn)

Sunday:
lunch: salad and cheese biscuits (like at Red Lobster)
dinner: szechuan stirfry (with extra red pepper flakes in my szechuan please)

Monday:
lunch: blue caesar
dinner: crockpot lentil soup (seriously, again, sfg)

Jacob asked if we could eat the blue cheese pasta every day for the rest of our lives. It’s got a half cup of whole cream in it. I said no. But maybe once a month. And after we can lick the pot.

I’m doing menus again. We’ll see how long it lasts.

Popcorn cauliflower.

Honestly? You can call it rollercoaster popcorn water slide day at the beach with sugar on top cauliflower and dudes, it’s still just nasty cauliflower cooked in olive oil. No self respecting coherent child would fall for this nonsense.

Mine would throw it at the walls and have me excommunicated from mommyhood.

Rightfully so.
