We have discovered that we really need to make sure our weekday meals are quick. Leftovers and the slow cooker are both great for that and we're building a book of faster, simpler recipes in hopes that soon Alex will be able to take over some of the week night cooking so that we can have other meals too. That means I've been making some old favourites and writing down the recipe and the method. Because I cook a lot from memory and Alex is just learning to cook...It also means we won't be experimenting with new recipes very often during the week. But that doesn't mean it can't taste good!
Monday: Homemade Chicken Soup
Tuesday: Leftover Soup
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Beef with
this sauce
Thursday: Leftover beef
Friday:
Black Bean Chili minus the salsa only because avocados have been suspect lately (we love them normally)
Saturday: More leftovers
Sunday: Pasta - maybe spaghetti and meatballs
There are more menu ideas at
OrgJunkie. Does anyone have a quick and easy recipe I could share with Alex?
Just came from her site! Pasta sauce in the crockpot all day with italian sausage, make with spaghetti or on rolls. So good and so easy!
ReplyDeleteThanks - that's a great idea!
