Sunday: Eat Out - Babe’s Chicken
Monday: Crockpot Creamy Tortellini Soup with Warm
Sourdough Bread
·
We
finally had our official “Ice-maggedon 2015” day, so a warm crockpot of soup
sounded like a perfect idea for dinner.
We love this soup so much!
What made it even easier is that I actually
had a batch of it frozen from the
last time I made it. The full recipe
makes an absolute TON of soup, so I only cooked half of it a couple of months
ago. I put the other half of the
ingredients, prepped and ready to go, in a ziplock bag except for the spaghetti
sauce, water, and beef broth. So, today,
I just pulled the bag of goodness out of the freezer, poured them frozen into
my crock pot, and added the remaining 3 ingredients. It cooked on low for about 7 hours, and then
when we were about 30 minutes away from dinner time, I stirred in the
tortellini. I served ours with some
warm, freshly made sourdough bread I purchased from the farmer’s market this
weekend. Yum, yum, yum!
Tuesday: Venison Medallions with Roasted Broccoli
& Beans
·
Chad
thawed out some venison and planned to cook it on the grill for us. (We use venison just like steak or ground
beef around here since we have a good supply in our freezer!) But, because of weather changes, he needed to
hop on a flight out of town a day early.
So, he kindly marinated the meat for me before he left, and I seared it
for just a few minutes on my cast iron skillet on the stove. It was thin, so it really only took a minute
or two per side. I added some pinto
beans that we also had frozen from a previous large batch and roasted some
fresh broccoli. It was a healthy,
delicious meal that took very little time to prepare.
Wednesday: Dinner with Mom
Thursday: Dinner Out
·
Another dinner
out, but the boys had a swim assessment so we grabbed a yummy grilled cheese
from a tasty restaurant on our way home.
Friday: Date Night!
·
The kids
stayed with their Grammy and DadDad while Chad and I enjoyed date night with
some friends.
Saturday: Turkey Meatballs, Quinoa with Kale, &
Roasted Zucchini
·
The kids
were still at their grandparents’ house, so I made a quick dinner for Chad and
me before we headed out to have a little more kid-free fun. I love these meatballs and the quinoa and
kale from Costco, as I can have a healthy dinner on the table in under 30
minutes. I eat this often when Chad is
traveling so I’m not always eating kid food.
J I added some thin-sliced zucchini that I roasted
with a little olive oil, season salt, and freshly-grated parmesan cheese.
