Cherry blossoms in the rain When "occasional" showers are in the forecast, it never fails that "occasional" will happen during kid pick-up at school and during work commute. So while Monday's dinner was made at home, it was by no means 'homemade.' But it was meatless and we did eat together, which is what we aim for.
Pre-packaged Meatless Monday
Cheese ravioli with pesto sauce, salad. Thank goodness for the refrigerated food aisle at Safeway.
Soup and Salad Tuesday
Clam and cannellini bean soup, toasted bread and salad. We will use cans of clams and beans, this is is still definitely more homemade than dinner by Safeway. A good soup for the 'cold' California weather. I can hear already hear certain New England Birdies snickering. Loudly.
Wednesday
Myles' Last Resort Meatloaf (with ground turkey). Husband will eat it with rice, and I'll eat as an open-faced sandwich with lettuce, sliced tomatoes and mustard on toast. Teenage boy will eat probably eat both versions. In one sitting.
Experimental Thursday
Kung Pao Chicken Tacos. I tore the recipe out of a Cooking Light because I liked the idea of Chinese food tacos. However, it will definitely require re-tooling as the only seasoning in the marinade is shoyu(!). Time to ask my Mom, my sister, the Food Network and Aunty Google.
Meatless Friday
Rat-pa-tooty, aka Ratatouille. It's been much too long since we've had this. And I'll make some extra so we can have it for snacks over the weekend. Cold rat-pa-tooty works really well as a cracker spread.
Have a good week all!
