Weekly Menu Planning - April 2024

Hi everyone

I had forgotten how nice it is to have a plan when staring into nothingness or toomuchness of the fridge :joy:

The weather is slowly turning to spring, but there’s still a nip in the air and wind and rain making me want warm things.

Rolling forward a few ideas I didn’t get to last week because of way too much eating out.

Ideas for the week:
– Wonton wrapper lasagna (Marcella-ish bolognese and besciamella already made, just have to assemble but I’m out of parmesan)
– Spicy chicken salad (scallions, sriracha, sesame oil) with homemade garlic mayo, made with Cantonese-style poached chicken
Curry chicken noodle soup with fresh lemongrass (using the poaching broth)
– Bengali mustard fish + dal + rice
Pan-fried noodles with mixed mushrooms
– Smoked paprika and garlic seasoned roasted chicken thighs with bread salad
Miso black cod (freezer) + snow pea salad + rice
– Something Turkish for COTQ – maybe Manti with leftover wonton wrappers, or Kisr and Chicken Adana Kabab, or Tepsi Kabab if I’m feeling really lazy
– Something eggy for DOTQ – Made chawanmushi already, possibly a souffle (this or this

I baked another orange olive oil cake to send for my cousin’s kids because my SIL was in town, which scratched my baking itch.

Wish you all a peaceful and delicious week.
