Hi, cooking for three in the Boston burbs. Back to two-handed cooking! I have mixed feelings about Halloween coming - I’m not ready for fall to slide into winter. But I’ve got an all-day work meeting on Thurs, and several of us are baking cookies to share - my festive sprinkles and a jar of eyeballs arrived today. (candy eyeballs, of course!)
Sun: pasta with pork ragu from Smitten Kitchen Keepers - but with short pasta, as I liked it better that way. Also making a pork/peppers/potato stew in the IP, recipe from Dinner in One, for Thursday, and a batch of polenta for tomorrow.
Mon: baked chicken breasts (we have a ton of spice blends to try), polenta fries, sautéed asparagus
Tues: chicken and white bean chili. Making cookie dough too
Weds: Italian chicken and dumplings - a Rachael Ray recipe using gnocchi and pesto. Bake cookies.
Thurs: pork stew. TBD whether we will be home to pass out candy, or “not at home”, or not at home. We usually get about 15-20 trick or treat groups, but I’m not really feeling it this year. So if we are not at home (or “not at home” we might rethink this meal.
Fri: DH and I are going into the city to see/hear Louise Penny talk about her new book. Not sure if DS will be home on his own or out with friends.
