Homemade hot pockets with salami, pepperoni, and cheese brushed with a garlic and Italian seasoning butter.

Bagel dogs, because I'm lazy and am trying to clear out some things from the freezer to make it more organized.

I made Kailua pork in the crock pot last night, served with cole slaw...leftovers tonight, then will freeze the leftover meat.  DD and I agree that it’s greaser than when DH does pulled pork on the smoker so could be the last time I make it.

Leftover tuna pasta salad and whatever soup DH’s picks from the freezer.

A chicken recipe I have that has dried apricots, bulger wheat, chickpeas with ginger, cumin and coriander. I usually make it with a couple thighs for dh and a boneless breast cut into pieces for me and dd. It's always to much meat. This time, in the interest of not using too much food, I just used 2 thighs an shredded them. That worked well. I don't like thighs, but if they're shredded like that, it's ok. I have a chicken and lentil recipe where I just use one shredded thigh for the whole dish.

I leave out the cinnamon because I'm opposed to cinnamon in meat dishes.

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless chicken thighs
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup chopped tomato (fresh or canned or boxed, with juice)
2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, drained, with the liquid reserved
1 to 2 cups chicken stock, bean liquid or water, or more as needed
½ cup bulgur
 Salt
 freshly ground black pepper
½ cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

PREPARATION
Put oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add chicken and brown well on both sides; remove from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add onion to the pan and cook until soft, about 5 minutes; add garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, dried apricots and tomato. Cook and stir just long enough to loosen any brown bits from bottom of pan.

Add chickpeas and 1 cup of stock or bean liquid to the pan and turn heat back to medium-high. When mixture reaches a gentle bubble, return chicken to the pan. Cover pot, turn heat to low and cook, checking occasionally to make sure the mixture is bubbling gently, for about 15 minutes or until tomatoes break down and flavors begin to meld. Stir in bulgur, adding more stock if necessary so that the mixture is covered with about an inch of liquid. Season with salt and pepper.

Cover and cook until the chicken and bulgur are both done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste, adjust the seasonings and serve in bowls garnished with parsley.

Turkey Chili was for dinner last night...wasn't as good as normal since I had to use regular ground turkey instead of ground turkey breast, also forgot to buy green peppers for it so ended up dumping in a bag of chopped spinach to up the veggie content of it.  Oh well...

Tonight DH is cooking a turkey on the grill...no fixings with it, maybe salad and roasted potatoes.

Last night was mushroom barley soup, salad and sandwiches. Today will be chicken cutlets (if they’re defrosted in time) or mushroom ravioli if not. Salad, some side dish TBD.

Yesterday I made pizza dough.  DH, DS and I had sausage pizza.  DD does not like pizza - I could have easily made her a vegan one.  She opted for tofu ravioli.  Tonight I am making a chicken dish with carrots and rice....DD does not like rice so she will have hers with bread.

Rellenos. Maybe margaritas, too.

We have six lovely poblanos, some serranos, and some jalapeños that would be good to use.
Me: Sesame, shellfish, chamomile, sage
DS: Peanuts

Lunch was haluski with smoked sausage and pears, dinner was mashed potato pulled pork sundaes and grapes.

Leftover mushroom ravioli pomodoro.

I scored a whole chicken at the market today, so tomorrow will be roast chicken, oven toasted cauliflower and baked yams.
