Welcome to the weekend, my buddies! That is the final week of my trip from work and I plan to take advantage of it. My brother and his spouse are planning to drive up from Georgia and benefit from the snow with us. (I’m praying that the climate received’t influence that an excessive amount of!) There will likely be plenty of card video games and puzzles (as a result of I make everybody do them with me now.), video video games and laughter, in addition to oh-so-many of our favourite meals.
I’ll be again within the “work” kitchen subsequent week, able to share a bunch of recent recipes with you. Within the meantime, as at all times, when you have recipe questions, go away a touch upon the recipe publish and I’ll do my greatest to reply as I’m ready.
ON OUR MENU THIS WEEK: We’ll be spending a number of mornings this week brunching at residence and on the high of the meal request checklist was a breakfast hash topped with a fried egg. It is a savory breakfast lover’s dream of a meal. (There are a number of hash recipes to select from on the web site, as it is a long-time favourite for breakfasts and for dinner.)
And for the candy cravings, these Cranberry Pancakes are going to occur and I’m making a batch of my Grandma’s Orange Sauce to high them.
The theme of this week is snow, snow, SNOW. So, my meal plan is all in regards to the heat consolation meals. I’ll be making my Aunt Judy’s Creamy Vegetable Soup (oh, my gosh, it’s SO GOOD!) and a giant pot of Lasagna Soup as nicely.
Spicy chile sauce meets up with creamy refried beans and loads of cheese to make these Red Chile Chicken Burritos. One chew was all it took and we had been hooked. These usually are not little burritos that you just’ll be holding in your hand to eat. These burritos could have you grabbing a plate and a fork and diving proper into that creamy, tacky, chicken-filled awesomeness.
Creamy, wealthy, and saucy, Stovetop Mac and Cheese was one other request and I’ll be cooking up some Garlic Butter Steak Bites to serve alongside it. I’m pondering some Roasted Brussels Sprouts will likely be good with that meal.
We’ll even be making Hen Cordon Bleu Sliders (from my first cookbook) and naturally, (no shock right here) Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
There’s a unending container of ready-to-eat vegetables for snacking, together with loads of ranch dip. There’s additionally queso within the fridge, able to warmth, each time the craving hits. It’s going to be a really tasty week!
Oh! And for a number of candy bites, I’ll be making one of the best ever gooey, tender and chewy Rice Krispy Treats, Monster Cookies, and being the ice cream addicts that we’re, we’ll be churning one thing new just about day-after-day – rain, snow, or sunshine.
What I’m CRAVING: Ha – see above. Clearly, I’m craving every part.
My FAVORITE THING this week continues to be my puzzle board. I’m completely obsessive about it. Would anybody be fascinated about seeing what we’re working on each week? For what it’s price, I’m not a elaborate puzzle particular person in any respect. About 500 items is the restrict more often than not for me, as I don’t wish to spend greater than a day or so randomly engaged on a puzzle and way more than that’s only a LOT of items to kind and take care of too. I’ve mad respect for anybody who does puzzles with 1000’s upon 1000’s of items. I can’t even think about that!
What I’m LISTENING to: Hymns by Joey + Rory. Sure, I’m formally listening to music my mom enjoys. (Full disclosure, I don’t love every part on this album, however I take pleasure in extra of it than I don’t.) I don’t even know who I’m proper now. Puzzles and old-school gospel hymns are in my favorites checklist. There are worse folks I might attempt to emulate. Love you, Mother.
What I’m READING: My oldest son and I are studying A Call to Spiritual Reformation by D.A. Carson and doing an off-the-cuff Bible research with it. Thus far, I adore it. (Zero doubts this will likely be a 5 star overview, so I’m assured recommending it whereas we’re nonetheless mid-study.)
“Belief within the Lord with all of your coronary heart, and don’t lean by yourself understanding. In all of your methods acknowledge him, and he’ll make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
Wishing you a stunning week filled with little issues that make you smile!
