Finally, some nice weather! As I sit here in the glorious sunshine, eating the last of the 15-minute fish, I figured out not only what's cooking this week, but the order of things so I can best use the oven. Ever since we converted to solar electricity a couple of years ago, we've been really trying to be more energy efficient.
Anyhow, here's what we're eating this week. The energy efficiency doesn't always happen, but it's something I aim for.

Monday--Mayonnaise Chicken, Orzo Salad and sauteed spinach. My son has been not-so-gently reminding me to make an orzo salad and that it is not currently posted to Feeding My Ohana, so this is the day to do it. Also, I'll bake the mayonnaise chicken, a couple of extra chicken thighs (for enchiladas) and meatballs all together today to maximize the oven use.
Tuesday--Meatballs with Simple Spaghetti Sauce and a salad. Meatballs were made yesterday, so spaghetti and salad are a fast dinner on carpool driving days.
Wednesday--Chicken Enchiladas, based on the seasoning for Tortilla Soup. In the ideal world, I would have made this on the same day as mayonnaise chicken, but I'll have to use the oven today.

Thursday--Attempt #2 at Pan-fried Noodles, w/leftover (frozen) chicken breast from last week's Pad Thai experiment. Another fast dinner for carpool day.
Friday--TBD fish--Cioppino, Teriyaki Salmon, or my Sister's Fish Sticks, depending on what's at the store. And some Swiss Chard.
For those of you in the SF Bay Area, enjoy the week of warm weather. We've earned it! Eat Well. Be Well.
