Menu Monday: Nourishing Body and Soul

 

I feel like a broken record talking about my poor cooking as of late. Life since my Dad got sick has just taken on a life of its own. And then this week we had sickness in the mix – oy! Here’s what we did. We stayed nourished one way or another.

Monday: Burger Bowls

What I Loved: I needed some good comfort food the night we had this dish…and it felt comforting without being greasy and overloaded. I air fried tater tots to go in it (vs. the waffle fries the recipe calls for) and just took the smallest amount of those for myself. All the flavor of a burger…on a plate! (Sorry...I didn't see a comparable recipe to link.)

Tuesday: Leftover Ground Beef and Zucchini Skillet

What I Loved: This was just as good leftover as it was when I first made it. After a full day away from home, this was a perfect dish!

Wednesday: Million Dollar Chicken + Steamed Green Beans

What I Loved: I made this earlier in the day, stuck the baking pan in the refrigerator, and we warmed it up when we got home from church. It was so good! It has a ranch flavor to it, and the green beans paired with it perfectly! (Also didn't see a comparable recipe on the free site for this one - so sorry!)

Thursday: Subway Black Forest Ham Sandwich

What I Loved: I didn’t want to cook (or even warm anything up) at home because I didn’t want food smells in the house when Ryan felt so sick. So I ran to Subway and ordered this golden oldie that I’ve not had in years. It was as good as I remembered!

What I Didn’t Love: Eating alone in the car in the dark because Ryan was sick. ☹

Friday: Leftover Million Dollar Chicken + Steamed Green Beans

What I Loved: Ryan was feeling less like death on Friday, but he wasn’t anywhere near ready to eat anything more than chicken noodle soup. So I ate this alone, but I was glad to have leftovers that were quick and easy to reheat without smelling up the entire house.

Saturday: Leftover Million Dollar Chicken + Steamed Green Beans

What I Loved: One more meal out of this recipe – and Ryan feeling well enough to eat with me!

Sunday: Fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner

What I Loved: The church youth group cooked for us! They have a spaghetti dinner once a year for a fundraiser, and it was this Sunday. Ryan was so tired from his first day back to humanity, so I drove to the church and got ours carry-out, and we ate at home together!
