Welcome to the weekend, my pals! That is the final week of my trip from work and I plan to benefit from 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 gained’t influence that an excessive amount of!) There can 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 latest recipes with you. Within the meantime, as all the time, when you have recipe questions, depart a touch upon the recipe put up and I’ll do my finest to reply as I’m in a position.
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 record 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 this can be 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 an enormous pot of Lasagna Soup as properly.
Spicy chile sauce meets up with creamy refried beans and loads of cheese to make these Crimson Chile Rooster Burritos. One chew was all it took and we had been hooked. These aren’t 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 considering some Roasted Brussels Sprouts can be excellent with that meal.
We’ll even be making Rooster Cordon Bleu Sliders (from my first cookbook) and naturally, (no shock right here) Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
There’s a endless container of ready-to-eat greens 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, comfortable 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 on daily basis – rain, snow, or sunshine.
What I’m CRAVING: Ha – see above. Clearly, I’m craving the whole lot.
My FAVORITE THING this week continues to be my puzzle board. I’m completely obsessive about it. Would anybody be fascinated with seeing what we’re engaged on every week? For what it’s price, I’m not a flowery puzzle individual in any respect. About 500 items is the restrict more often than not for me, as I don’t prefer to spend greater than a day or so randomly engaged on a puzzle and rather 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 the whole lot on this album, however I get pleasure from 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 record. There are worse folks I may try to emulate. Love you, Mother.
What I’m READING: My oldest son and I are studying A Name to Religious Reformation by D.A. Carson and doing an off-the-cuff Bible research with it. Thus far, I like it. (Zero doubts this can 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!
