I hope you had a good week last week! Mine was a bit crazy, and I got all off track with my menu plan.
I had several days when I got called away from home for most of the day, which left me no time to prepare dinner or do any baking. Sometimes that happens, right? I am hoping this week slows down in that regard.
Since I got behind on my menu plan, this week includes some of the same foods on last week's plan. I have already grocery shopped, and I had everything I needed to make all the foods from last week's menu. So I just slid the meals I hadn't made, over onto this menu plan. I hope that makes sense!
What I did get made from last week, were kind of so-so. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was okay, but it definitely needed more seasoning. I think that has happened to me before when I use recipes that have cream or heavy cream in them. It was very bland, and no one really liked it very much. It might have been my fault in how I prepared it. But, I don't think I'll be trying that one again.
The gluten free orange chicken didn't turn out, either. It looked like chicken in a dark brown really thick gravy. It was very unappetizing looking, and none of us wanted to try it. I made it yesterday, and then we went out and ate instead. It might taste all right, but honestly it looks so unappealing I don't know if we'll eat it or not. Again, it might have been something I did wrong while making it. Sometimes things just don't come together as planned! But we probably won't be trying this recipe again, either. My husband asked me why I don't stick to the tried and true recipes! And sometimes I do, but sometimes I like to try new things. So this week, I am making more meals that aren't first time recipes. Two fails in one week was enough for awhile! Live and learn, right??
Here is this week's menu plan. I cannot wait for the tomato soup and grilled cheese night! Sometimes simple is just so comforting, and I'm really looking forward to it.
