Meal Planning - March 22 - 28, 2021

Another week, another meal plan...

Monday, March 22

Potato Leek Soup
     Everyone (even those who don't care for potatoes) love this soup. Leeks can be difficult to find, and I essentially bought every leek the store had today. I hope no one needed any.
Sourdough bread
     Store bought

Tuesday, March 23

Crockpot Eggplant Parmesan with Feta
     This is tasty... not as tasty as regular Eggplant Parmesan, but a lot easier.
Rotini pasta
Salad

Wednesday, March 24

Stir-fried Lemongrass Chicken
     A favorite Vietnamese dish
Jasmine Rice
Cucumber Salad
     We make both spicy and not spicy versions of this

Thursday, March 25

Chicken Tortilla Soup
     I love this soup!
Guacamole
     TM came home with a lot of avocados earlier this week, so what is one to do?
Tortilla chips

Friday, March 26

Panda Orange Chicken
     This is a really good copycat version of the orange chicken at Panda Express. I add onions and sweet peppers to it to stretch the chicken.
Fresh Noodles
Eggrolls

Saturday, March 27

Macaroni and Cheese
     It feels as though we just had this, but it was strongly requested by G. and L., and I couldn't come up with anything else. By request, we won't be baking it this time.
Sauteed spinach
     Because Macaroni and Cheese needs something green to go along with it.

Sunday, March 28
(We're celebrating K.'s birthday which is later in the week)

Hamburgers
     This is K.'s chosen birthday meal. I hope it is nice enough outside to grill.
Potato chips
Sliced sweet peppers
     The peppers were my suggestion. He would have been happy with just burgers and chips.
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Ice Cream

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
