I hate making the grocery list.
Seriously, I really hate it. Now I know what my mother has been complaining about for years. I usually consult the sale circular for my grocery store of choice, and plan the week's dinner menu and make the list according to what's on sale so maybe we can save a few dollars in the process. It's such a pain in the ass to come up with a week's worth of dinners at one time, though! For the coming week...
*Sat. Jul. 14: Leo's chicken & black bean quesadillas
*Sun. Jul. 15: Grandma's cooking (Yay! I don't have to plan a dinner, and MIL is a great cook!)
*Mon. Jul. 16: cottage pie
*Tue. Jul. 17: hummus & veggie pitas w/feta cheese & Greek dressing
*Wed. Jul. 18: whole roasted chicken; cous cous; roasted broccoli
*Thu. Jul. 19: slow cooker Indian lamb & spinach curry
*Fri. Jul. 20: pasta Alfredo
That said, earlier this week I made a fabulous Trinidad-style pork curry that I think even my MIL would have liked. I think I'm going to try and use my crock pot more, especially on days when Olivia and I have the car and have to pick Leo up from work. That way dinner will be ready at 6:30 when we all get back home. Anyone have a favorite slow cooker recipe or a website with slow cooker recipes? What are y'all cooking this weekend?
