Oh, the weather outside is LOVELY…but we all still need to eat. This is when a plan for the week is crucial. No one wants to think about what to make for dinner when the sun is shining! No need to think, just find a meal from our week’s worth of meals. You are bound to find at least one. [I highly recommend the kale, egg, & avocado toast. delicious!]
Meal 1:: Chicken and Cashews
Meal 2:: Coconut-Curry Beef
The flavors of this slow-cooker beef was great. However, the recipe calls for 4 hours on low. When using chuck roast, you will need to cook it more like 7 hours on low for the beef to be tender. But since it is in the slow cooker it is no big deal. We had this on a baseball night. We arrived home after the game and dinner was ready!
Meal 3:: kale, egg & avocado toast
My favorite meal of the week. Clean, simple and so incredibly delicious. Kind of like breakfast for dinner, but savory for sure!
Meal 4:: Skillet cornbread [gluten free] and Chili
I used mixes for both.
Cornbread: Pamela’s Cornbread and Muffin Mix
Chili: Bear Creek Country Kitchens “Darn Good Chili” Mix
I followed the directions for skillet cornbread on the packaging and it turned out perfect. [A tablespoon of butter in the hot pan may have had something to do with it.] I have used the chili mix many times before. It is ready in 25 minutes. You simply add water and tomato paste.
PS. We had takeout for meal 5. I live in the real world too!
