We avoided takeout this weekend!! 🥳
Well, kind of lol. We had pizza takeout last weekend and ate those leftovers Friday.

Saturday: made a special run to the local Asian store and then made the best Thai green curry with shrimp and brisket (leftover from St. Patrick's day), steamed veggies, and frozen dumplings.

Sunday (tonight): Salmon, leftover steamed veggies, and sweet potatoes with black beans.

Monday: Chuletas guisadas... except I'm using country style ribs so I'm going to shift the recipe to the slow cooker. Serving over spaghetti squash with sautéed brussel sprouts.

Tuesday: Leftover curry... or mapo tofu with baby bok choy and king oyster mushrooms.

Wednesday: Leftover chuletas guisadas if we have enough. If not, see Tuesday.

Thursday: I have chicken thighs. Might grill them on the Foreman and serve with giant salads.

Friday: umm... hmm... see Tuesday?

Do you have a green curry recipe?

[gretchenindisguise]

Tonight: lemon, parsley, and chicken pasta

The rest of the week the kids and I chose easy to ease back in after spring break especially since H is out of town:

Breakfast for dinner
Charcuterie
Tacos
Grilled cheese (which the kids now call toasties) with tomato soup
Take out (likely Thai since kids are now both equally obsessed)

[eb777888]

We went on a long family hike this morning, then went to lunch. I had hummus and artichoke hearts with a salmon salad.

Monday- We're in the totality of the eclipse, so I'm *attempting* to make David an eclipse pizza. It'll probably turn out dumb but taste delicious. I'm making this Rao's sauce and noodle dish my H is obsessed with for him and I. David's baking cookies.

Tuesday- Thursday- H has dinner work events so I'm doing super easy dinners for me/pick something up- and David will cook for himself.
Friday- sushi night
Saturday- we have a gala to go to for David's school. We decided today that we are going to go and raid the open bar, pretend to consider the auction items, then skip the dinner and walk across the street to our favorite Mexican place for margaritas. When we discovered the proximity of our favorite restaurant to the event, we really had no choice, lol.
Sunday- no idea- lazy day. Maybe go to our favorite food hall.

[tacokick]

Chicken sandwiches, slaw

Keema spaghetti

Fish pie (cod, potatoes, spinach)

Then my husband will be out for dinner for a couple days so maybe take out? I never know what to make for one. What did I do when I lived alone??

Do you have a green curry recipe?

I start with this one: www.recipetineats.com/thai-green-curry/

And then change the veggies and protein to whatever we have on hand or feel like eating.

I also double the curry paste, but we like it spicy, and store-bought paste can be weak. I would love to try making my own but I haven't been able to source all the ingredients.

[underwaterrhymes]

I have no idea. I planned the shit out of our eclipse trip but I have no idea what we will eat when we get back tomorrow. 😂 We have a ton of snacks, so we won’t starve.

Thanks! That’s actually the one I had marked to try, but I’ve never had much luck making curry that taste like you can get it at a restaurant, lol. Glad to hear this is at least a good start.

[sonrisa]

Tomato soup with oven grilled cheese.
‘Antipasto pasta’ (I slice up some Italian sausages, after sautéing them, I take them out, deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken stick and throw in whatever we have on hand - usually marinated artichokes, tomatoes, olives, tapenade, pesto, roasted red peppers, whatever, simmer while the Sara cooks, then toss it all together to coat and serve. It’s a family favoritw).
Sheet pan roast broccoli and chicken.
Tacos, maybe.
