Are you surprised that I only made one of the new recipes from last week? I’m starting to think maybe I should call these weekly menu “suggestions” 🙂 We weren’t feeling the soup, so I made shrimp lo mein instead. We also ended up going out to eat for a friend’s 30th birthday, so I made macaroni and cheese for the kids and the babysitter instead of the taco bowls, because I wanted to make sure it would be something they knew they liked.
I am going to try a new chicken dish this week, but basically not really make it like it says to at all: I am not a huge fan of making things in foil unless necessary, I’ll use the veggies we already have, and I’ll cook regular rice. And the sriracha will only go on me & my husband’s portions 🙂 For the kielbasa dish, I will be using dried spaetzle instead of making it as the recipe suggests.

Honey Sriracha Chicken (new recipe to us), rice, steamed veggies
Spaetzle with Kielbasa and Caramelized Onions (new recipe to us)

January 28, 2014 at 4:14 pmYour Swedish meatball recipe (along with your recipe for frozen meatballs) has become a favorite recipe for me. Putting it together is easy, quick, & best of all requires No Thinking. I’m going to try the spaetzle recipe this week as I have some of the dried in the cupboard.
I love your blog & have quickly become reliant on it. After 50 years, I’m tired of thinking about what to have for dinner, so I come to see what you’re having. Thank you
January 28, 2014 at 7:26 pmI am so glad that you find the menu plans useful! My two kids love the Swedish meatball recipe, too. They ask for “meatballs with gravy and noodles” quite often 🙂 I haven’t tried the spaetzle recipe yet this week, but I think I’ll be able to make it near the end of the week.
February 3, 2014 at 11:11 am[…] Last week, I made all but one of the new recipes. I did not get to the sriracha chicken, but maybe some other week. The other new recipes were good, though! This week, it seems as though we’ve all come down with the sniffles and just aren’t our usual healthy selves, so I think it’s time for some comfort food, lots of fluids, and rest! […]
