Had a wonderful once-a-year Christmas treats trip to Trader Joe's today...it helped get me set for Sun/Mon dinners, too...still planning the rest!
Sun - Ginger-Miso Chicken Dumpling Soup and Harry and David Pear Slices (Gonna use the Trader Joe Ginger Miso Broth, the 2 carcasses of my rotisserie chicken from tonight, and an HMart Dumpling Bag - should be pretty awesome if today's taste test is any indication - the pears were also at TJ's for only $8/box, so I splurged)
Mon - Mandarin Orange Chicken Bites (Trader Joe's Bag), White Rice, Clementines and Bananas
Okay, so I hit Aldi's tonight, and it was a jackpot - $.49 for 3lb of granny smith apples, $.99 for 8 kiwi, $.89 blackberries tons of veg uber cheap, so here's the rest of the plans...
Tues - Shepard's Pie (Ground Lamb, Mashed Potato, Celery, Carrots, Onion), Homemade Apple-Pear Muffins
Wed - Cheez-It Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders, Celery Sticks and Baby Carrots with Blue Cheese Dip, Blackberries
Thurs - Chicken Fajitas (Multi-Colored Bell Peppers and Onions), Clementines/Kiwi/Blackberry Fruit Salad
Fri - Hot Dogs (kid has asked for weeks, and we're gonna do a light show), Baked Fries, Sliced Pears, Smoothies
Sat - OUT (Red Robin Vet Coupon with $30 in GC from their holiday deal)
Sun - Christmas Eve App night - Baby Crab Cakes, Veg Tray with Lemon Garlic Aoili, Fruit Tray with Dip, Dorito and Cheeto Boxed App (one each - got on a stupid good Target deal, so we decided to break them out tonight for fun...
Mon - (TAKE IN) Peking Duck with Seedless Cucumber, Green Onion, and Hoisin Sauce, Fried Rice, Peeled Clementines - Pineapple Delight and Thumbprint Cookies with Vanilla Drizzle for dessert
