Meal Plan Oct 27-Nov 2

The book fair ended up being 2 days late, so it got extended 2 days.  More easy meals and another busy weekend means very little meal prep going on. 

Breakfasts:  Cereal or breakfast biscuits, bananas. 

Meals this week:

-Fish tacos and salad
-Baked chicken thighs with maple onion sauce from Aldi, brussels sprouts, baked potatoes

Wed/Thurs was dreary and rainy. We were out of chicken thighs so I threw a bean soup in the crockpot in the morning.  It was definitely a bean soup kinda day.  Came out yummy.  

Lunches will be cold lunches/leftovers. Next Sunday I hope to be back to my normal meal prepping self.

Meal Plan for Oct 20-26

It’s book fair week, which means I’ll be coming home completely exhausted every day. So very simple meal plan since I won’t be able to eat a normal lunch and won’t have the energy to cook dinner.

Breakfast: cereal or biscuits w/ banana.

Lunches: Whatever cold stuff I find that I think I can eat with one hand (probably PB&J, fruit, snacks). G is taking some pasta leftovers we had in the freezer.

Dinners:
Sun -Tuesday: Homemade pizza with salad
Wed: out
Thurs - Fri: Rotisserie chicken from Costco, carrots, potatoes. If G can’t get to Costco I’ll throw some pork in the IP.

Meal Plan Oct 13-19

This week:

Breakfasts: Kate’s Apple Snack cake  from the Baked Alaska cookbook

Lunches/Dinners:
Chef John’s Black Lentil soup - I added some kale we needed to use up.
Roast chicken with root veg (carrots, potato, sweet potato, onion)
Pulled pork sandwiches or tacos with salad
Possibly Pizza this weekend, haven’t gotten that far.

Also: Homemade bread with the soup, and apple crisp for dessert. We have a lot of apples from the orchard!

What I'm Reading - Summer/Fall 2019

This summer I re-read the Harry Potter series, which I haven't read since the final movie was released years ago.  I'd forgotten how much I loved it, especially the later books. 

I'm also trying to finish the Divergent series, but Allegiant isn't holding my interest as much as the other two.  Eh.  This is one of those books where the protagonist is so very not like me in any way and I think I have a hard time relating to them. 

My friend back home started an online book club.  They picked the first book the other day, it's entitled Let's Pretend This Never Happened. Supposed to be very funny. 

Meal Plan Oct 6-12

Pretty busy weekend, so didn’t cook as much as we normally do. Plus with my birthday we ate out a couple times and therefore have leftovers that need to get eaten. Meals this week:

Breakfasts: Him-Banana Granola Muffins, Me-Yogurt with granola

Lunch: Leftovers, cold lunches. (Sandwiches, apples with PB or chocolate hummus, cheese and crackers, whatever.)

Dinners: Zuppa Toscana

I have Wednesday off so if I feel the need I will cook something then. My emergency meal is still the southwest quinoa, but I’ve been lucky and haven’t had to use it yet.
