SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!! Five glorious days off from work. I tend to be overly-ambitious during my days off, and I'm already seeing how little time I truly have this week to cross off the tasks on my to-do list. There are the "needs" and the "wants," and I need to make time for both... for my sanity... and for our basic survival. Of course, cooking more complicated, elaborate meals is right in between needs and wants... we need to eat, right? Here's this week's lineup:
Sunday: leftovers from Cumin Indian Restaurant (our date night on Saturday)... it was good, except the dish I ended up ordering tasted EXACTLY like a dish I have been making at home. Sigh.
Monday: Asparagus Risotto (w/a pinch of saffron) & garlic bread
Tuesday: Modenese Pork Chops, homemade pierogies (frozen from when I made them a few weeks ago) & haricots verts (love that TJ put the French words for green beans on the bag!)
Wednesday: Croque Monsieur & salade (the croque monsieur is my most favorite French sandwich. Post coming later describing its awesomeness.)
Thursday: Chicken & black bean enchiladas & mexican rice
Friday: fig, caramelized onion & goat cheese pizza, salad
Saturday: Potstickers (from TJs), rice & egg rolls(TJs)
I'm also making Mexican Lasagna as a birthday gift for a great friend and hopefully am going to make some strawberry scones... because I had one at Panera last week and can't get it out of my mind. Yum.
