Some weeks I just want to give up all this food prep and cooking on the weekends, and go out to eat to avoid all the pots, pans and dirty dishes... and then I eat out and realize how much better it tastes when I (we) cook it at home... and how much healthier... so then I feel a little better about spending my weekends preparing for the week... just a little. My preference would be a personal chef (but something tells me that's not going to happen)!
So here I am... I've already cooked up a few things for the week, inlcuding:
-Sauteed squash, eggplant, onions in olive oil in a deep saucepan (salt and pepper to taste)
- Sauteed tomatoes in olive oil (salt, pepper and fresh basil)
- Roasted potatoes drizzled in olive oil (salt and pepper to taste)on 400.
- Spicy Leek and Potato Soup is cooking on the stove right now.
- Black beans soaking on the stove right now (soaking directions on bag)
All this food prep today, will make packing lunches (for my husband and myself, along with dinner, so much easier.
Sunday: Pasta with Tomato sauce (sauteed earlier today)and mixed greens salad.
Monday: Tacos with black beans (and the fixins)
Tuesday: Salmon with roasted potatoes and mixed greens salad
Wednesday: Potato soup
Thursday: Squash, Eggplant compode with side cous cous
Friday: Pizza night (homemade pizza) and lots of vino!
