Lamb and mac & cheese

I still felt kind of rotten all day - toughed it out at work and then came home for comfort food. The lasagna last week may have been from Stouffers, but the mac & cheese from tonight was home-made -- grated the cheese myself!

Chicken backs are still in the fridge and should work for soup stock this weekend. I also have a hankering for focaccia - soup and bread will be on the menu either tomorrow or Sunday.

Mojito chicken thighs

Corn and cucumber from the farmers market, squash from the garden, plain old white rice.

Chili

Kids had mac & cheese.

What I really wanted was chicken soup- I've got some chicken backs thawing for stock, so hopefully later this week...

Omelettes

with eggs from the farmers market.

Our local supermarkets have started price-fixing eggs WAY over price, and now the farmers market eggs are LESS expensive, and taste better as well.

Last night was hot dogs.

Lasagna

Frozen Stouffer's lasagna- my brother disses me about this, but everybody eats it. Garlic bread and salad.

Last night we had cheese and crackers and fruit; Sunday night was steaks on the grill (YUM); Saturday was ham (suggested by the pre-teen, since she doesn't like ham and was at a sleepover).

Pork roast

More like a mini-pork tenderloin - I put it on the grill like a tenderloin, anyway. We also had broccoli and breadsticks. I had summer squash (from the garden) and TMOTH had a tomato. Kids had macaroni & cheese.

Beef stew

Eeek. 2-ish weeks since the last post. No excuses, other than laziness.

A beef steak, cut into ~1-inch cubes. Maybe half a cup of chopped celery. Three leeks. Three carrots. Two envelopes beef boullion, a few cups of water. A pint container of tomato sauce. A few grinds of pepper, an afternoon in the crock pot, then two carrots for an hour or so. Over noodles (which the kids ate, without stew, with cheese).
