The adobo chicken didn’t happen this because I’ve been under the weather. Sometime late Wednesday I came down with my first bad sinus attack this winter. So it’s been pretty lame dinners here lately.
The apricot chicken I did make and it was beyond wonderful. In fact, my husband requested it again this week! I think next time I will put green and/or red peppers in it but other than that it’s a keeper.
I made a spice cake earlier this week we are still eating on. It’s turned out to be just what my palate wants. That and cheese dip with tortillas. Oh, and the required tomato juice and/or soup that I always crave when I am coming down with something.
Other meals this week included a can chili combined with small shell pasta and cheese. The hubby loved it. Now I know an easy meal when I am not feeling well and yet need to feed him.
Tomorrow will be roasted chicken, gravy, mashed potatoes, and carrots. I am so looking forward to this. The chicken is easy-season and place in the oven and the rest will be easy as I’m using instant potatoes.
Tonight’s meal with pasta and a can of Italian tomatoes that I had fixed last night and decided that I didn’t want. I cooked and diced some chicken, made a simple white sauce, and combined in a pie plate. I put some buttered Ritz on it and popped in the oven for 20 minutes. It was okay but the hubby loved it. Next time, I’ll try different tomatoes.
The menu for this week will be up in the air some. I have orientation downtown on Tuesday and I work on Wednesday and Thursday. Thanks to working third shift for six years I am ready to crash when I get home and settled in. But here’s the rough schedule:
Sunday: Roast chicken and fixings
Monday: Crockpot meal: Lemon Garlic Chicken from my Fix-It and Forget-It cookbook
Tuesday:Chicken soup if I can get it done in the afternoon
Wednesday: Leftovers/sandwiches/soup may get a wild hair and actually throw something together with the leftover chicken, but don’t count on it.
Thursday: my payday and I’ve got a coupon at IHOP for BOGO. The cook is off!
Friday: Hubby’s payday-quick bite out? Groceries? Bet on something out-Arby’s, Freddy’s, even maybe Sonic. Who knows what we will do!
So what’s on your menu?
