Monday 1/7: OK, I wasn’t feeling well, so Eric picked up hot dogs, but he gets triple husband points for remembering to get no nitrate hot dogs and for knowing that I would most likely want some broccoli to go with it. Thanks babe!
Tuesday 1/8: Chicken-n-dumplins – This is with a homegrown rooster, and I add lots of veggies to my broth. I’m planning to add carrots and kale tonight. Yummy!
Wednesday 1/9: Broccoli Cheese Soup with homemade French bread. (Broccoli is from my garden.)
Thursday 1/10: My sprouts should be ready to eat, and so should a cabbage from the garden, so we will have marinated skirt steak, Asian slaw, and Simple Sesame Noodles. I plan to add the bean sprouts to the slaw and the noodles!
Friday 1/11: Eric and Erica have a father/daughter dinner to attend, so I will probably take the littles out to dinner.
Saturday 1/12: Steak, creamed kale and sweet potato puree.
Sunday 1/13: Homemade whole wheat pizza with salad and homemade ranch dressing.
Well, there you have it! A week’s worth of homemade, mostly healthy food. Now to go get cooking!
Also, don’t forget that my new Farmhouse Style Blog Hop beings tomorrow, so come back and visit!
Oh, friend! How did I not know about this? This is wonderful! I love that your healthy meals look more appetizing than most! 😀 Tell me, please:
Do you process your own chickens? If not, how?
When do you put your cabbage in the ground? And do you plant carrots and onions at the same time? (I ALWAYS get mine in the ground too late!)
LOVE!
Yes, we process our extra roosters. This last batch was particularly mean, so that made it easier. We hope to raise a batch of broilers for the freezer at some point. A chicken plucker (who’s name isn’t Heather! would help with that. Eric does most of the dirty work.
I think the cabbage went in the ground in October. Some is looking great, and others just up and died awhile back. I planted some carrots in September, probably, and have already harvested them. I tend to think carrots are more trouble than they are worth, especially since even organic carrots are inexpensive and available year round. The onions went in in early November (AKA, when I finally found time to plant them) and they are rocking and rolling. I planted some regular sweet onions, as well as some Egyptian Walking Onions and perennial leeks. The kale and broccoli are doing well too for the most part, but the Swiss Chard is barely doing anything. Oh well.
Broccoli cheese soup sounds delicious! I’m making a lot of soup right now. Good thing my husband enjoys it haha 🙂
