Week 153

A beautiful Saturday! I went on my first run in a century, really since December. It was painful and glorious and slow, but it's A. OK.

We are trying to save money and pay off our van fast, sooo I am incorporating the poor man's food, such as lentils and beans. My husband will be even more stinky. But so it goes.

Chicken Curry Shepherd's Pie + Roasted Asparagus

Creamy Beans and Eggs + Roasted Parm Cauliflower

Garlicky Lentil Soup + Bread

Stir-fry Cabbage + Brussels

Chicken and Rice + Broccoli

Orange Chicken + Edamame

Tortilla Pizzas + Fruit and veg

and Kimchi, you guys, seriously!

Week 152

It's sunny! Yesterday was gross. February is such a slogging-through kind of month. But it's nice to have a bit of blue out there. Right now, as I type, Elliott is insisting on pealing orange after orange, not interested in eating any of the fruit itself. He's a mad man!

So it took me forever to pull all this together. While making my list I had to do the following: fix a car track, find and talk about hex bugs, get a pasta play area set up, clean up pasta, set up kinetic sand (still not cleaned up) and try to encourage E to watch PBS! So I could actually get this done! Life with a BBE is fast-paced, everyone.

So here goes:

Mexican haystacks, a Bjork family lovestory + Salad

Chana Masala + Cukes

Baked Potato Bar + Goat Cheese Lentil Salad

BLATs + veggies

JO Chicken and Milk + Mashed Potatoes + Bok Choy

Rice and Cabbage Smothered Soup + Bread

Spaghetti and Meatballs (the old standy)
