On the menu this week:
Sunday: Spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, breadsticks & salad
Monday: Crockpot Beef and Broccoli with rice from Life in the Lofthouse
Tuesday: Creamy Garlic Chicken from Budget Bytes with Crockpot Mashed Potatoes from Dinner at the Zoo and salad
Wednesday: Wonton Soup from I am Homesteader & Spring Rolls. To save time, I'll use frozen pork wontons & spring rolls from the grocery store, and I'll also add a little powdered ginger to the broth (not a lot, maybe 1/4-1/2 tsp, it just gives it a little extra flavor).
Thursday: Leftovers!
Friday: Crunchy Roasted Chickpea Pitas from How Sweet Eats. I plan to serve it with store-bought pitas, hummus, and Lebanese garlic sauce. We live in metro Detroit, so our grocery store has a variety of stellar Middle Eastern foods available in the deli making it easy to throw together a dish like this. If I had more time on my hands this week, I would make my own pitas. Natasha's Kitchen's pita recipe has worked very well for me.
Saturday: No-Peek Monterey Chicken & Rice from Plain Chicken.

Update: This week, like so any others, completely fell apart. Started out well enough. Spaghetti was delicious. Crockpot beef was OK, but I used shaved beef and I think it was too thin to stand up to the crockpot and it basically disintegrated. Oh well, it was still tasty. Creamy garlic chicken didn't happen; the day got away from me and I had to pivot to something else, though I don't remember what. Wonton soup was great, as always, even if I was a little heavy-handed with the sesame oil. The crunchy chick pea dinner was exchanged for cheese pizza at my husband's favorite local place. And on Saturday...I honestly have no recollection whatsoever.
