This week the hubby picked all of the meals. He asked for fish tacos, soup, and a pork tenderloin. I happened to have a lot of butternut squash from the garden so that steered me toward one of my mother's recipes, sweet potato (butternut squash this time!), sausage and apple casserole.
Wednesday: Sausage, Peppers and Onions Stoup (my version)
Thursday: Leftovers
This Sunday was a rainy cloudy day and I felt like cooking so I prepped a lot of the meals for the rest of the week. I made the casserole and the soup and put the pork in the brine for tomorrow's dinner. Any time you can plan ahead will save you time during the week. That way you can make more elaborate meals during the week and your recipes don't catch you by surprise. There's nothing worse than wanted a meal on the table in under an hour and you've missed the direction that says brine for 8-12 hours! You can also make a double recipe of meals and freeze half for another night when you are running short on time.
