Our first two meals this week are from Chrissy Teigen, which is always a good sign. We’re starting with a pretty healthy and delicious carrot soup, and we’re following that up with a decidedly unhealthy patty melt. It’s all about balance.

Monday: Carrot coconut soup

I briefly considered making our menu for the first week of 2021 all healthy and such, but then Rockford picked up Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook and said “Ooooo, patty melts” and here we are.

Tuesday: Crispy Bacon and Sweet Pickle Patty Melts

Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner

Probably pancakes.

Thursday: Pork tenderloin

I got a Spicewalla spice set for my birthday, and there are a few blends in it I’m not familiar with so we’ve been experimenting a bit. I’m going to use the ras al hanout as a rub on the tenderloin.

Friday: Out

We’ve been doing deli sandwiches a lot on our Out Fridays lately. I’m trying to think of an alternative this week.
