Hello there! I am posting every day at A Novel Project for NaBloPoMo, but since I still have to eat dinner slash feed my family, I’m popping back over here to list the meals I plan to make.
Dinners for the Week of November 17-23
- Lemongrass Chicken Stir Fry: I’m in the mood for a stir fry, but I’m not in the mood for one of my normal stir fries. Also, I picked up a tube of squeezable lemongrass the other day and want to see if it… does anything.
- Slow Cooker Carnitas: We have a giant two pack of pork tenderloins in the freezer, and carnitas is the perfect way to turn them into multiple meals.
- Burrito Bowls: The recipe calls for chicken, but this is how I plan to use up some leftover carnitas. Oooh – or maybe I will modify this vegan quinoa bowl recipe (with a chipotle cilantro vinaigrette – YUM) instead.
- Cacio e Pepe Pasta with Peas and Asparagus: This recipe, but with cacio e pepe ravioli from Trader Joe’s.
- Sauteed Shrimp and Garlic Shitake Green Beans: Can you tell I’ve just had another fun shopping expedition to Trader Joe’s? I picked up a bag of frozen garlic shitake green beans and I think they would pair perfectly with some sauteed shrimp… and some leftover quinoa or brown rice from burrito bowl night.
That’s all I’ve got this week! I am also on the hunt for a delicious cheesecake – preferably with a gingersnap or Oreo cookie crust – that I can bring to Thanksgiving dinner next week. Do you have a Thanksgiving-y cheesecake I can try?
