Monday is leftover pizza and big salad with leftover roasted veggies and (new) sautéed mushrooms that I need to use up.
Tuesday is Baked "fried" chicken, roasted white and sweet potatoes, garlic bread, green salad for Valentine's day. Wednesday DH will make his assigned meal (rice a roni spanish rice, we also have black beans) that he does when I drive carpool. I have a bean seasoning I pre-mix that he pours on the beans and adds some water and tomato paste, and then we set out some chopped veggies, cheese, avocado, and salsas when we get home and it's a nice beans and rice. Thursday is likely pasta (frozen bolognese we have) and salad. Friday wil be some sort of takeout because we travel early Saturday. |

Yesterday was Super Bowl spread
Today is Leek and Pancetta Orzo from a new-to-me, recommended-by-a-friend website Tuesday Valentines so want to be a little special, but we’re not properly celebrating until the weekend, so veal picatta with couscous pilaf and some kind of veg Wednesday unsure - have a funeral daytime so possibly leftovers at night. Thursday out with a friend That’s all I’ve got so far. We’re debating whether fancy takeout or homemade fondue for when we celebrate Valentine’s Day but have yet to determine whether that’s Friday or Saturday night. I got the Ad Hoc at Home cookbook as a souvenir when I was in Napa in the fall, and we’ve been wanting to make rye fried chicken from it as a project one weekend day, so maybe that on the other day? |

I love Ina, and have made her recipes many times without fail, with the exception of the mustard chicken thighs. They were WAY undercooked in the time she recommended, not very crispy, etc. I think I’m the problem because I know Ina isn’t and everyone loves them. Do you adjust the recipe at all, or have any tips? |

I like chard or spinach, but I’ve also used kale and it was good! I like to add mini mozzarella balls instead of shredded mozzarella. More enticing to my toddler. |

| You all are inspiring! I am opposite and exhausted and hoping everyone in family will agree to just eat yogurts & cereal for 2-3 nights to get break from cooking! |

Hmmm. I think I give them a good 45-50 minutes in the oven, which may be longer than she suggests. Is your oven good and hot when they go in? I know with my oven I need to let is preheat well past the point the oven beeps to say it’s ready. Regarding crispness, I try to make sure the thighs aren’t touching, so they have enough space to crisp up. And they definitely don’t get crispy like fried chicken. Even so, we find them really tasty. Also, I make the chicken thighs alone, not with the potatoes she includes in the recipe. Maybe that makes a difference? I love them with mashed potatoes. |

Today we had leftover butter chicken with peppers, onions, and peas, rice, leftover dinner rolls, and fruit (activity night)
Tuesday: Ravioli and broccoli (Valentine's Day tradition) Wednesday: leftover homemade pizza and fruit (also an activity night) Not sure for Thursday and Friday! We have lots of green beans, carrots, sausage, beans, ricotta cheese, and some other random pantry and freezer stuff. Need to clean out freezer a bit. Maybe I'll be inspired. |

Same here. I usually try to make sure that fresh dinner for husband when he gets back from work late. Today? Will make a sandwich with bread baked yesterday and pork from 3 days ago, with a cup of hot tea. I am way too tired for anything else. |
