This past
week was full of being gone. I didn’t cook much – in part because we were in
desperate need of a trip to the grocery store. But our schedules were also so
strange that it was hard to even have time (or the mental capacity) to cook
when mealtime rolled around. So…here’s what we had, haphazard and leftover
though most of it was.
Monday: Leftover Italian Grinder Salad
What I
Loved: This day
ended up being so unexpected, with a return trip to the hospital for Dad. It
was such a blessing to be able to grab leftover salad and eat on the run!
Tuesday: Leftover Clean Eating Chili Cheese Fries
What I
Loved: It was
another day-on-the-run visiting Dad in the hospital. This recipe actually
warmed over better than I thought it might! We were able to eat it quickly
before going back to see Dad!
Wednesday:
Marry Me Chicken Orzo Soup
What I
Loved: I put this in
the slow cooker early before I left for meetings, and it was ready over 12
hours later when we returned for dinner! I love using orzo as a pasta because
it isn’t heavy. Since we ate this so late at night, that was helpful. Also a
win? Ryan loved it!!
What I
Changed: I left out
the spinach, because Ryan doesn’t love that all wilted in a soup.
Thursday:
Leftover Marry Me Chicken Orzo Soup
What I
Loved: As I said, no
time to cook this week, truly, so having leftovers was such a huge help.
Friday: Valentine’s Dinner Date at Do Good
Restaurant
What I
Loved: I got the
Tuscan chicken wrap, and it had amazing flavor. (I got the chips for Ryan…and
he enjoyed them.) He chose the grilled meat loaf and said it was so good. It
had a Korean BBQ sauce on it that was really yummy, he said. He’d never ordered
meat loaf at a restaurant before, but he said it was worth it.
Saturday:
Small Group Dinner
– Pasta Bake
What I
Loved: Our friends
blessed us with dinner. Normally this is a pitch-in, but they told us just to
come and enjoy, and we did! We had a little pasta bake with garlic knots and
salad, and it was so comforting and delicious.
Sunday: Shredded Pork Loin + Steamed Veggies
What I Loved: I haven’t made this for a while, and it is one of the fastest things ever to throw in the slow cooker in the morning. We threw it together before church, and – WOW! – it smelled so good when we arrived home. Alas, we didn’t eat it until dinner time, so it was just a tease all day long. I made some steamed green beans to go with it, and Ryan wanted air-fried tater tots, so he made some of those.
