Meal updates from last week:
We ate leftover burritos for lunch all week, and I have to say that they continue to taste better as they sit in the fridge.  We loved the minestrone with sausage and kale, it is a soup that I never get tired of eating.  We also really enjoyed the Thai chicken and rice bowls.  I didn't get the chance to make the veggie melts as I was too tired, instead I made the kids pita pizzas and I had a bowl of tomato soup.  This weekend my husband and I were out Friday for a work event, and we ordered Thai takeaway with friends on Saturday night.  Today we went and cut down our Christmas trees it was a wonderful day filled with sunshine and our favourite people.

This week we will be eating at home Sunday-Thursday, Friday I am off for a weekend away with my mom.  I am taking the kids to see Santa on Monday and I will feed them at the food court after our visit.  

  • BBQ steaks, sauteed mushrooms and a spinach salad with pears, apples, almonds, cranberries, feta and a simple Dijon vinaigrette.  Find a similar salad recipe here.
  • BBQ chicken bowls with sweet potatoes and coleslaw from @40aprons this is one of my favourite one bowl recipes.
  • Cuban picadillo from @skinnytaste I will serve this with some steamed rice.
  • Pasta e Fagioli from @cookieandkate I love her recipes and think that this one sounds great.

There won't be time for baking this week, I hope to continue with more holiday baking next week when I am home from my short trip.  I also found a recipe for Andes mint cookies that sound amazing!  I might have to add these to my holiday baking list.  Make your weekly shop easier by using grocery list 21 36

Stay healthy,
