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.
