Hi, all. As per usual, feeding three in the Boston burbs. Today was Big Cooking Day, and Today Me is tired, but Later Me will be very appreciative. (It’s looking like a busy week at work, trying to get things done before the holiday.) I’m also trying two new recipes this week - from the same new source - which is always a bit risky.
Sun: dinner is chicken enchiladas (homemade sauce) and refried black beans. Big Cooking included prepping 15 lbs of chicken breasts for the freezer (or immediate use), making the beef/vegetable filling for shepherd’s pie, and making shredded chicken for tonight and for the fancy nachos.
Mon: last week’s boneless buffalo wings were a hit, so I’m making them again (much less salt this time). Celery/carrots and chips on the side.
Tues: either shepherd’s pie (which I guess is cottage pie since it’s beef not lamb) or fancy chicken nachos
Weds: whichever we don’t have on Tues
Thurs: Thanksgiving! Lunch will be heavy appetizers, our new(ish) standard. Dinner, however, is brisket, pulled pork, and all the standard bbq sides. (I’m picking up takeout on Weds AM.) I think I’m going to make mac and cheese to go with, and we might make a pie, but… no turkey. We just did that 2 weeks ago when my family visited and none of us want turkey again.
Fri: all the leftovers
