Menu Plan 9/7-9/13

Published on September 8, 2013 By Emily. Updated on September 8, 2013

Reflections on last week’s plan:

pasta with squash and tomatoes

Overall, last week’s list worked really well.  Now that we’re back in the usual routine of working at the school, taking grad classes, attending community meetings and the like, it’s become apparent that preparing meals that make good leftovers is going to be essential.  The only disappointment was the slow cooker stuffed peppers.  The filling was great, but for whatever reason the peppers developed a really unpleasant, somewhat bitter flavor.  We ended up scraping the filling out of the peppers and throwing the peppers away, unfortunately.  Luckily, I was really pleased with the way the pan-cooked squash turned out.  I took some liberties with the directions;  I sauteed the squash until soft then added the tomatoes (diced, not peeled, no seeds removed) to the pan and heated through.  Much simpler than the original recipe and still delicious.  A dollop of ricotta cheese, shredded Parmesan and fresh basil added the perfect finishing touches.  Haddock was very well priced at our local supermarket when I went shopping Friday night, so I switched up our dinner plan.  I made breaded baked haddock topped with Old Bay seasoning (I’m obsessed), with a side of steamed cauliflower and egg noodles.  Simple, fast, delicious.

This week’s menu plan is going to be short because I’m leaving for the Healthy Living Summit on Thursday! Thankfully, I have a very capable husband who has told me not to concern myself with what he’ll eat while I’m gone and volunteered to pick up our CSA share.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
