I’m trying to make this week’s menu to be on Auto-Pilot. I asked Chris to help me think of easy recipes that would make enough for leftovers so that I don’t have to think much about cooking this week.
I have a big writing deadline on Friday and don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen working with elaborate recipes and trying new things. This week I need familiar, easy, and quick.
(This, of course, means my diet is kind of in limbo this week. I’ll just do the best I can as I fix things for the family and make myself some alternative sides.)
Monday–crockpot roasted chicken, rice (Uncle Ben’s wild rice), salad
Tuesday–Thai chicken (shredded from Monday’s leftovers). I use the Pad Thai packet and the Thin Rice noodles from A Taste of Thai. Then I stir in Asian frozen veggies. Veggie egg rolls.
Wednesday–Chili, baked potatoes, salad
Thursday–leftovers
Friday–Pork tenderloin, steamed veggies
Saturday–leftovers
Sunday–hamburgers, corn on the cob
