Menu Plan Monday, 2/1 – 2/7

mpm 1 Menu Plan Monday, 2/1   2/7

My stand-out recipe from last week is the Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Flanken (flanken is a cut of beef short ribs). I absolutely adored this dish, and although I’m the only one who has tried it so far, I promise it’s a great Crock-Pot recipe! It’s very flexible and could be made without meat as well.

I also made a Jack Daniel’s Cake with Buttered Whiskey Glaze for my dad’s birthday, and whoa was it potent! I’d like to make it for a Super Bowl party, but I might be kicked out if I don’t bring the Chocolate Trifle I bring every year.

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup with Flanken (from the freezer), French bread, garden salad

Wednesday: Crock Pot Chicken Vindaloo, rice, Cauliflower Poppers, naan (store-bought)

Thursday: Spaghetti with meatballs (from the freezer), garden salad

Friday: Roasted chicken, steamed broccoli/cauliflower mix, challah

Saturday: Order in

Sunday: At a Super Bowl party

    When you roast your chicken, do you just do breasts, or the whole thing in a roaster pan, or another way?

    I basically see what looks good at the store, and use that. Sometimes I do bone-in, skin-on pieces, sometimes just drumsticks, sometimes a whole chicken, sometimes boneless, skinless breasts. With the kids, the skin-on pieces are easiest, because I can take the skin off after cooking and the chicken underneath looks nice and plain (their ideal meal)! — Dara

    As the Dad who ate that cake, I think I’m still hungover. Truthfully, though, delicious to the last drop!

Cheesy Kale Crisps: We rarely eat kale now that our farm share is over, and I want to fix that. I've wanted to try using nutritional yeast, and this recipe looks like a tasty way to do it.

"Shake It Out" by Florence + the Machine. This song reminds me of Annie Lennox, and I love tracks that include a huge, gospel-like chorus.
