I spent most of Saturday working to cross an item of my Mighty List (more on that here), so Rockford* took charge of planning the menu and going to the grocery this week. He generally makes a very rough plan, and this week was no exception. Here’s his plan:
We’re having friends over for a birthday dinner on Wednesday, and the birthday girl requested something along the lines of a stroganoff or goulash. That will probably replace the fajitas.
*Best husband ever.
Monday: French onion soup
Chloe made French onion soup from scratch when we were at her house a few weeks ago. It was delicious. I have a no-fuss soup mix in the pantry; I’m hoping it measures up to Clo’s version!
Tuesday: Dinner with friends
Wednesday: Corn and red pepper chowder
This recipe is from the one and only issue of Bon Appetit magazine that I’ve ever purchased. The Lemon Meringue Ice Cream Pie — the reason I bought the magazine — was spectacular, so I have high hopes for the soup.
Thursday: Chicken pot pie
My mother-in-law made chicken pot pie last week for dinner. “If you’re making chicken pot pie, you might as well go ahead and make two.” That’s what she told me as she was handing me the second pot pie.
Friday: Pizza
