I hope this is good, because it was super time consuming to make. I was going to serve it over couscous, but I have some leftover cornbread to kill, so that should do it.

Is there a link for whatever you're talking about?

I was planning to make grilled chicken, potatoes, and peppers, but there are guys with chainsaws in my backyard taking down trees, so not a good time to grill. I'll have to cook it all inside.

Whoops!  Forgot the link.

Yeah, grilling amongst chainsaws isn’t the best idea.  ;D

I got up at 6 to put a London broil in to cook sous vide.   I like to cook it for 12 hours, then sear.  I’ll make mashed potatoes, green beans and sautéed peppers & onions!  I have some  bread dough in the fridge too, so I may baked that off as well.  But DD lives it snd is having a tmj flare so it might not be a good idea.

Resurrecting to get myself out of this rut.

Grilled marinated chicken breasts, oven roasted butternut squash/cauliflower, seasoned potato wedges.  Plenty of chicken leftover to add to salad, burritos, etc.

We always have pizza on Fridays, and tonight our cooking club made all of them.  I convinced them to use leftovers to make a breakfast pizza, and it was pretty popular.

My husband (claims) he only likes really, really mild fish, so tonight I made cajun salmon and he loved it.  (NO ONE TELL HIM.  He thinks salmon is a mild fish.)  Did a half and half rice/cauliflower rice for a side - slowly transitioning to heavier on the cauliflower.  DSD and DS could go full cauliflower, the others are slower, but making progress. Made a thrown together from the pantry warm chipotle corn salad - a bag of frozen white corn and a bag of frozen yellow corn, steamed, a can of diced tomatoes, a can of green chilies, a little bit of butter to melt with the heat of the corn.  Mix it all together, add salt and chipotle powder, toss and then mix in fresh sliced green onion and chopped cilantro.  There is very little of this left, so it must have been good.  Fruit tonight was blackberries and blueberries.

As of tonight, I apparently need to cook six pieces of fish instead of 5.  I usually go with two each for DH and DSD, and DS gets about 3/4 of the last filet and DD gets a fourth to stare at.  Except now, DS wants more fish and when a seriously skinny kid wants more protein, you make it happen.

If anyone wants a generic recipe for any of these things let me know.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I had meatloaf, but last week my friend was talking about it and I started craving it. So I made it last night, along with a lighter version of potato leek soup and green beans. Delicious.

Tonight will be a spatchcocked lemon chicken with potatoes and zucchini.

GN, I should make meatloaf.  I never do, and I know that DH loves it, especially the mashed potato stuffed meatloaf I have done before.

Tonight: Chipotle chicken pumpkin corn stew and whatever kind of bread I decide makes sense.

I've been trying to make easier dinners while I'm sick so that I don't roll straight from homeschool/toddler time into big dinner.  So I'm making stuff ahead of time or doing slow cooker meals. 

Tonight's meal was BLT w/avocado wraps, corn salad, cottage cheese and strawberries.  Made everything late last night and had it all on the table in less than 10 minutes tonight.

DH just wanted a canned soup for dinner tonight. I decided to try the Daiya Mac & Cheese I bought. It’s free of the top allergens. The pasta is from brown rice. The “cheese” is dairy free, and in kind of liquidy state…you don’t add anything, just squeeze it into the cooked pasta.

It’s not bad.

Tonight I tried something different - whole wheat pasta tossed with escarole and cannelloni beans. I added some diced, browned turkey sausage to up the protein content for DH. It’s delicious.  This will definitely be added to the rotation.

Yesterday was spatchcocked chicken with Indian/Moroccan seasonings over cauliflower, carrots and potatoes.  The house smelled amazing.
