I have been terribly apathetic about cooking lately and I am not sure why. But now that the dreaded time change has occurred and we are in the land of eternal darkness, maybe I will start enjoying cooking again just to have something to do when the nights seem to last forever.
What was planned:
Leftover pizza, tossed salad
Hotdogs and coleslaw
Black bean soup, cornbread
Stuffed bell peppers, coleslaw, cornbread
Out to eat
Veggie meal TBD Soup and sandwich meal TBD
Monday: A few weeks ago I bought an uncooked pizza, that was entirely too large for us to eat in one sitting. Instead I cut it in half prior to cooking ,so I could freeze it for another day. It was nice to have on a night I just did not feel like cooking.
Pizza, tossed salad
Tuesday: We have eaten this meal every single Halloween night since our adult sons were very young. No sense breaking traditions
Hot dogs, coleslaw, chili cheese Fritos (TheHub's request)
Wednesday: I had cooked dried black beans on Tuesday specifically to make Wednesday's dinner.
Cuban black bean soup, coleslaw
Thursday: Leftovers from Sunday's lunch (rotisserie chicken from Publix) became dinner.
Chicken divan, tossed salad
Friday: DIL3 and Son3 requested we go to Styx. She had never been to a restaurant like this before and we were happy to oblige.
Japanese steak house offerings
Saturday: The guys all went to the ballgame and I had a girls night with the DIL's. I can't ever express how much I love having them here with me. We decided to just order delivery for dinner.
Baker's Pizza
What's next???? (I have to rearrange the pantry and freezer today so this might change drastically)
1. Copycat Chik_fil_a sandwiches, green vegetable of some sort
2. TheHub has a dinner meeting, so who knows? Leftovers or cracker and cheese maybe
3. TheHub has a second dinner meeting so who knows again? Cereal or popcorn maybe
4. Grilled tuna steaks, tossed salad, baked potatoes
5. Hamburger patty, coleslaw, rice, green beans
6. Chicken (grilled or roasted, not sure yet) ,salad, asparagus
7. Soup and sandwich meal TBD
Have a great week staying on plan, going off plan, or with no plan at all.
yes it does feel like eternal darkness has set in -- and we are much further north, so the nights are even longer here than yours!

Though I don't go to sleep, I find myself wanting to throw on my pj's way too early.
DeleteThanks for the recipe. Sounds delish.
ReplyDeleteanytime
DeleteWould love to visit Japanese steak house!
ReplyDeleteIt was good but I have been twice in less than a month, so I am good for another year or so.
DeleteSounds delicious! I need to come up with a meal plan for this week that is fairly low carb. Difficult for me because I love my carbs!
ReplyDeleteThat is because carbs are where delicious lives!
DeleteI love reading of someone else who just doesn't bother cooking when they are on their own.
ReplyDeleteI see no point to it. I am perfectly content with popcorn, crackers or something similar.
DeleteI go in phases where I sometimes just don't feel like cooking! We too had a Halloween dinner tradition - usually a big pot of homemade soup and a sandwich!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear others have traditional Halloween meals.
DeleteThe evenings are so long now. Maybe I should take up cooking to fill them as you suggested. Or not. :)
ReplyDeleteTruthfully I am leaning toward the "or not" camp.
DeleteSounds delicious. Regine

Things might work out or they might now. Either way we will eat something every night.
DeleteIt's always nice to have something to pull out and heat up when you don't feel like cooking. Our traditional Halloween meal is a big pot of beef chili with all the toppings. It was a cold Halloween night here, so it hit the spot. Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteI do love having things to pull out, heat and eat.
DeleteI made a full meal yesterday it was just like old times.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you felt like doing it!
