Week 97

It is a lovely 2 degrees outside. Sweet Moses. And we are all a bit under-the-weather, including the saddest Mr. Elliott, who has his first cold. I thought it might be in the cards as Ari has been coughing and had a runny nose since November...

So this meal plan has quite a bit of comforty type food. And a lot of slow-cooked meat. It must be the meat time of the year!

Slow-cooker Chicken Tikka Masala + Naan + Salted cucumbers - the boys are very into these right now.

Reduce gravy and serve on buns) + Spinach Salad

Goat Cheese Asparagus Pasta + Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Salmon + Broccoli

Sesame-crusted Tofu Nuoc Cham + Rice + Cukes

Slow-cooker Beef Stew + Bread (No Knead)

Week 96

Whew.  We are currently in newborn mode. Baby Elliott is pretty awesome though, and has been very nice about being a newborn for the most part. But babies need to eat, and that has been the hard part. Because of latching issues, I now pump and bottle-feed. This makes night feedings a lot harder, but overall he only wakes up once or twice a night. Also Josh has been amazing and taking over the night feeding when he is off. So I don't have too much to complain about.  We are keeping it easy street here though.
