Blissful Monday; how was your weekend? We had two sturdy days of rain Friday and Saturday, which can very properly be seen as dreary to many nevertheless gave us an ideal likelihood to atone for loads of points we’d have preferred to look at off. We tried on clothes and took a go to to REI to finalize the problems we would like for our upcoming crusing structure throughout the BVI’s. We’re SO excited to be partnering with The Moorings as soon as extra, like we did in 2019, and it’s sneaking up on us.
Sunday the photo voltaic acquired right here out shining brightly, a great day to rejoice Easter! The bunny stopped by our residence and launched baskets and hid eggs. We beloved a great sermon at church. I moreover realized my days of standing in the back of family pictures are numbered.
Nevertheless let’s get to the meals!
Monday
Total roasted rooster in my On the spot Dutch Oven have flip right into a go-to for me. I merely season and put it on gradual cook dinner dinner for 4 hours. The pores and skin doesn’t look as crispy or pretty as oven roasting (though you may pop it throughout the oven for a broil while you’re serving it full). Nonetheless, I pull all the meat off the bones so I don’t care lots regarding the look. I served with roasted carrots, Brussels, and onions and a bag of Daily Harvest‘s new grain product, which is great useful and fascinating! This one had black lentils, quinoa, brown rice, white rice, cauliflower, and sage.
Tuesday
Burger evening time! I made a batch of bread machine hamburger buns, which can be delightfully easy and I encourage you to attempt them when you’ve got a bread machine. Lettuce, tomato (gosh I can’t await summer season tomatoes), pickles and roasted inexperienced beans on the facet.
Wednesday
David was out of metropolis on Wednesday so I made a salad with regardless of leftover points I had throughout the fridge: mixed greens, roasted rooster, carrots, cilantro, and Garlic Expressions dressings. The women had scorching canines and bell peppers. The first event was popcorn (I actually like our air popper!) and watching The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Thursday
This was a fail. I had brisket in my freezer and tried to gradual cook dinner dinner it. I adopted a recipe and though the meat turned out tender it had little style and was great fatty. I’ll stick with letting David smoke it from proper right here on out. The slaw was good though! Merely cabbage, mayo, ACV, celery seeds, a sprinkle of sugar and salt.
Friday
I started shifting into my “I need easy meals” mindset, which is fixed through the beginning of this week. I put Butcher Discipline‘s meatballs (which I LOVE because of they’re made with all precise, recognizable parts and can be found a 2 lb bag) with a Costco sized Rao’s marinara. Gradual cook dinner dinner for 3-4 hours and serve over spaghetti. I chopped oregano, basil, and parsley from the counter prime yard to current it somewhat bit pizzazz and up to date style.
Saturday
We accomplished out a moist Saturday with comfort meals, which is Mexican for us! The kids had an enchilada bake, however it certainly was small, so the adults had lentils and rice, made collectively throughout the rice cooker, with Amylu’s rooster sausages, guac, bitter cream, salsa, cilantro, and Siete tortilla chips.
Sunday
Easter Sunday I meant to do ham, however it certainly was purchased out by the purpose I acquired to Total Meals, so I improvised and made one different full rooster throughout the Dutch oven. I served mine over baked sweet potato with BBQ and primarily essentially the most delicious asparagus. The family has eaten this up today! It’s merely asparagus drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt, garlic powder, and grated parmesan. Roasted at 400 ranges for 15-20 minutes. So good!
Breakfast & Lunch
I didn’t snap loads of these- whoops! I’ll share further in an upcoming “What I ate Wednesday” submit. This lunch was frequent last week, though- Amylu rooster sausage with lentils, rice, and spinach. Scorching sauce on prime.
