Meal Plan This Week.

November 6, 2022November 10, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 1 Comment

Sunday - Lasagna with Caesar Salad. I use this recipe from my Betty Crocker cookbook. I'm sure there are much more complicated ones out there, but when I'm looking for a classic recipe I always look to Betty. She's never steered me wrong. She keeps it simple enough that it's manageable and she offers lots … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Red lentil soup Olive oil1 white onion, diced2 carrots, diced5 cloves minced garlic8 cups veggie or chicken stock2 cups red lentils1 cup corn2 teaspoons … Continue reading Cozy and Bright Red Lentil Soup.

Well, it's starting to seem like I don't put anything but meal plans on here! But oh well, here it is! The week ahead. May it go smoothly for us all!! Sunday - Chili. My husband makes a very classic version, and it's so good. We pile on corn chips, cheese and onion. I'll get … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Monday - Crockpot Carnitas Rice Bowls. We've gotten a carnitas roast from Aldi a few times before and it is SO good and so easy. You just toss it all in the crockpot and cook like a normal roast. I'll make rice and a side of black beans when I get home from school and … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Applesauce Cake with Brown Butter Frosting.

September 4, 2022September 5, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ Leave a comment

Is it brown butter or is it browned butter? My research has brought back answers for both. Whichever way you want to say it - I do believe it may be God’s greatest gift to man, much as I love my children. And around this time of year I can’t get enough of it. The … Continue reading Applesauce Cake with Brown Butter Frosting.

Monday - Flank Steak, roast brussels & crispy potatoes. My husband makes the best flank steak marinade. I dream about it! Doing Labor Day right and wrapping up summer with all the good stuff. Tuesday - Chicken Enchiladas. We don’t really follow a recipe for this one. Put the chicken in the crock pot in … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Tuesday - Taco Soup. A recipe from my mother-in-law. I’ll post the recipe this week on Instagram, but the recipe … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Cozy Soups for Soup Szn.

August 17, 2022August 17, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 2 Comments

I know, I know. It's only mid-August, but once school starts, it's basically soup season, right? I think part of these feelings must stem from how absolutely frigid they keep my school library. I need a warm little meal packed from home on my lunch break while wrapped in a cozy sweater more than ever. … Continue reading Cozy Soups for Soup Szn.

This week’s meal plan for the curious! Monday - BLTs with tater tots and salad - I always try to keep Monday nights easy, so I’ll make the bacon in the oven (at 400 on a foil lined pan for about 20 minutes), slice up some heirloom tomatoes, add iceberg lettuce because it has the … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.
