Weekly Menu Planning - June 2022

Cooking for two adults and a 9 yo for the first half of the week, and then my husband flies to Nova Scotia on Thursday for his first in-person conference since 2019. So it’ll be one night of cooking for just my daughter and me, and then takeout pizza on Friday, and a weekend at the cottage where my mum will cook for us :slight_smile:

M- Homemade burgers (I always make a double batch and then freeze half, so these are frozen patties from a few weeks ago), McCain oven fries, kale salad

T - Salmon and couscous salad with cucumber-feta dressing (NYT Cooking)

W - Fusilli with vodka sauce, Italian sausage, bell peppers and mushrooms

Th - Breakfast for dinner (blueberry pancakes, bacon, fruit salad)

F - Takeout pizza

Weekend - At the cottage where my mum will cook

Breakfasts - I made Caroline Chambers’ copycat Starbucks egg bites frittata, and sweet potato hash

Baking - Caroline Chambers’ Coronado cookies - these are excellent!

I don’t link to the Caro Chambers recipes, as they’re behind a paywall. I’ve subscribed to her Substack for a couple months now and I’m really enjoying it. Recipes are meant for busy weeknights and are written in such a way that, even when they have multiple components/side dishes, she tells you exactly when to start what. We’ve had a few big hits so far, especially last week’s Thai basil beef bowls with coconut-ginger rice and peanut sauce… chef’s kiss.
