We had another busy week which provided limited opportunities to get creative in the kitchen. Unfortunately this coming week will be the same because I will be out of town at a conference the majority of the week.
As a side note, one of our friends was inspired by our mind-numbing weekly recitation of what we ate (is this not the most navel-gazing narcissistic thing ever?) to post his own version on his blog.
We were involved in the Making Strides Cancer Walk last Saturday, so we missed Hollygrove and found ourselves out of both food and ideas, but at least there was no squash. Here’s how we did:
Sunday: Leftovers from Saturday cooking extravaganza including but not limited to: lasagna, shrimp and spaghetti, red beans and rice, veggies and salad. We were hanging out with my sisters and celebrating my niece’s birthday and had tons of leftovers from the previous night.
Monday: Leftover shrimp and spaghetti. He Said interjects, “No complaints from me; I like this stuff.”
Tuesday: Rainbow Trout Fricassee. I have to admit that I did not know there was such a thing as a Cajun Fricassee, but it does exist. Essentially, this was a roux-based dish incorporating the trinity and two rainbow filets. Very nice, different, and I was just excited to be able to claim victory over a fricassee! We left the gym with no food and no ideas, and this was on the table literally one hour later.
Wednesday: Spaghetti and meat sauce. My best friend’s dad is in the hospital and I wanted to make something quick that would feed the masses. I was working with very limited time to get something out after visiting with her at the hospital. Paired the spaghetti with some cupcakes and it was a winner!
Thursday: Stella!
Do we even need to address what was the best meal of the week? I think not!
