This Week
I decided that this week would be
soup week at our house. I picked up three soup cookbooks from the library and they've really inspired me. Although I have to admit, I don't think any of the soups I've picked out come from any of those cookbooks.
- Monday - our friend Chuck is coming over for vegetarian buffalo-wing chili with toasted pita bread and salads. I figure the soup is going to be too spicy for Sonny D so I'm going to make him some fish sticks.
- Tuesday - our friend Buddha might come over for chicken parmesan soup with garlic bread and roasted butternut squash with feta cheese.
- Wednesday - I invited Husband Jeff's parents over for New Year's Eve dinner of creamy fish chowder, a bag of frozen Szechuan asparagus, and rice.
- Thursday - red chili with green-chile cornbread (a box of Jiffy mix!)
- Friday - my friend Heather is joining us for Santa Fe sweet potato soup made in the slow cooker along with lemon-pepper risotto and a can of corn. I'm also going to attempt to make some more vegan cheese, maybe the same cashew goat cheese recipe as last time or maybe try my hand at something new.
- Saturday - This is where my plan falls apart, I don't have a soup picked out for Saturday. We'll probably have lots of leftovers to eat or maybe be sick of soups by this point. We'll definitely be able to find something to eat, maybe melt sandwiches or a bag of frozen gnocchi.
- Sunday - Another day without any planned meals. Once again, we'll figure something out. Maybe we'll have a meal out somewhere or eat more random food like grilled peanut butter sandwiches or pancakes.
I turned off the 'leave a comment' feature, so if you want to share what you're thinking about this or anything else, drop me an email at jhk1013 (at) gmail.com. It's so much more cozy than a comment, plus we can have a real conversation!
