Week 68

Fall is official, friends.  So.  I am geeking out about the idea of roasting vegetables, making soup, baking bread, and letting the oven do its thing.  Also, since Henry has started school, I have become more interested in cooking quick meals.  No more crazy, pot-producing, mess-inducing, at least not for now...

Menu:

Burrito night

Poached Chicken with peanut sauce and acorn squash

Salmon and kale salad

Trader Joes' Indian feast

Goat Cheese Asparagus pasta and broccoli (sesame marinated)

Chicken sausage, potato, and apples (p. 109 DALS)

And maybe a treat or two.  I am running eight miles this weekend, so I think I can handle it.

Week 67

Fall is making itself cozy.  Today was our first day actually needing to wear a jacket outside.  Also, my first honeycrisp apple purchase.  So here's to one of my favorite seasons, sweeping in and carrying us along.  The shops are filling up with Halloween doo-dads, much to the delight of my boys.  The other day, Ari had to protect me from ghosts the whole time we were at Lowe's.  And pumpkins are popping up, today at the grocery store, Ari told me that they were for Halloween.  Correct!  The best holiday.  So here is this week's menu:

BBQ Salmon and cauliflower - from DALS book, p. 215

Black Bean burritos - DALS, p. 53

Split Pea Soup and Bread

Peanut Butter Noodles (DALS p. 261) and kale salad

Poached cold ginger chicken and salad

Also:
May have to make these cookies.
