This was the first weekend we’d all be home with nothing in particular to do since June, I think. It was rather nice, even though I spent the vast majority of Sunday afternoon sitting at our local urgent care facility, waiting for a doctor to see whether my bronchitis had transformed itself into pneumonia. (It had not. Hooray! And please, bronchitis, go away already! Three weeks is sufficient!)
After I got home from urgent care, I made a blueberry upside-down cake. It was delicious and definitely worth clicking that link to get the recipe.
- Monday: Velveeta Helper
- OK, some people might argue that Velveeta Cheesey Skillets are a perfect embodiment of everything that’s wrong with modern society. I bought a box in a moment of weakness a few months back, though, and it was good. Great, even. Some days you just need a little partially hydrogenated this and that in your life. (OK fine maybe you don’t but today I do.)
- Tuesday: Chicken sandwiches
- Rockford’s birthday is tomorrow, and he requested grilled chicken sandwiches, corn on the cob and “skillet fries.” By which I hope he meant something like these skillet-fried potatoes, because that’s what I’m making.
- Wednesday: Crispy baked chicken
- I was going to make the Crispy Cheddar Chicken recipe from Jamie Cooks It Up, but I had a coupon for a crispy baked kit and it was on sale. So I’m making that. It looks pretty close to the same thing, though.
- Thursday: Spaghetti
- I have a bottle of marinara at the ready, but I’m hoping to have enough tomatoes in the garden to turn them into a sauce. (And also enough gumption. That’s an important ingredient.)
- Thursday: Pizza
