meal planning #2

are you ready for more meal planning? you are, right? if not, scroll below and find our trip to auckland. it's more entertaining.

this week the recipes come from both 365: no repeats and express lane meals both by rachael ray. both classics in our household

sunday: lemon artichoke risotto with shrimp (this got delayed because of the auckland trip)
monday: risotto leftovers
tuesday: smokey sweet potato chicken soup (adapted for kumeras instead of sweet potatoes, but essentially the same)
wednesday: leftover soup
thursday: philly cheese steaks
friday: leftovers
saturday: spaghetti alla ceci (spaghetti with chickpeas - it's a roman dish)

i'll also be attempting two of my food "pins" from pinterest...

artisian baked bread - no kneading required, the fermentation process that takes place in the fridge does the work for you.

and

roasted cabbage. it must the be eastern european in me. but it sounds really good.  The grocery store did not have bacon bits. I looked all over, and then swallowed my pride and asked. He asked "what are those" - I told him cooked pieces of chopped bacon. Then he asked what in the world I would use it for. Sigh.
