April was our first full month in "stay at home" mode against COVID-19. Stores were running low on things and it was terrifying to go to the grocery store. So we were mostly using up what we had in the house. Thank god we are somewhat of hoarders and had plenty of stuff in the pantry - lots of rice, pasta, beans, canned tomatoes and all that, plus we had not only a freezer but a deep freezer full of meat. So we mostly just went to small stores to pick up produce as it was also impossible to get signed up for any of those produce delivery boxes. We also tried to get take out once a week from different local restaurants and got to try several we had never had before.
Week 1
- Teriyaki beef noodle bowls
- Turkey and wild rice soup
- Korean Beef tacos (using the same ingredients we used for the noodle bowls, just mixing it up a bit)
- “Unstuffed” cabbage/ aka cabbage roll casserole
Week 2
- Leftovers - Korean tacos and whatever we get for takeout tonight
- Chicken pot pie ** Changed to Greek lemon chicken orzo, after MIL dropped off 17(!) lemons, along with a few tomatoes and a head of broccoli**
- Ham and bean soup
- Meatloaf, mashed potatoes & broccoli
Week 3
- Chicken pot pie (with biscuity topping, as I have no pie crust and I’m terrible at making it from scratch)
- Pizza beans with Italian sausage in it as we like it, and probably zucchini cooked in some form so my husband will eat it
- Ham, sweet potatoes, green beans
Week 4
- Our takeout this week was pizza from a local place, we still have leftovers
- Tomato tortellini soup (vegetarian)
- Green chili & cheddar sausage with rice, beans and peppers (instant pot)
- Turkey and multigrain blend w/ veggies
