Last week was so cold! I know I won’t get sympathy from you folks in South Dakota or Oklahoma or Toronto but damn….I’m in Florida!! When I was growing up in Pennsylvania the change of seasons meant four distinct types of weather.
Here it’s unbelievably hot 80% percent of the time and then BAM – it’s freezing. If we are lucky we get a week of open window weather. Now don’t get me wrong, I love when I can wear boots, sweaters and sit by a bonfire. The problem is, they aren’t giving us much heat at work. Yes, I work indoors – I am a government drone and I work inside a building. In an office. My office temperature is 64 F / 17 C and I can tell you – when you sit at a desk for a good portion of the day the chill sets in hard. Right, enough complaining.
Here is a week of meals.
Sunday: Grilled Wings with roasted sweet potato, turnips and parsnips.
Roasted vegetables
Monday: Picadilla, maduras, rice and black beans, Cuban bread and Key lime pie
Tuesday: Leftover picadilla meal
Wednesday: Roasted honeyed chicken thighs, carrots and green beans
Thursday: Leftover chicken for dinner
Friday: Split pea soup, Bratwurst with potatoes, red peppers, garlic, celery, onions and mushrooms
Saturday: Lunch at Wing Stop and leftover brats for dinner

Next week I have a few good meals planned that I haven't made in a long while. Go-to meals in the past that I am reviving.
Hope your week was great!
Did you really have chicken 4 times in one week? I love chicken, so I'm impressed!

Yes, Mae, I break it up with beef or pasta but we love chicken, it's so versatile!
ReplyDeleteVicki, we have had it easy for a while, temperature wise, so I am not loving this biting wind and cold temps!
Hi Tina!
ReplyDeleteWell, as you know I'm in PA:) We were more than lucky this last snowstorm. Central PA must have been on that line they kept talking about because we got less than 2 inches of snow. The sun is shining today and it is melting!!!
I keep the house pretty cool but 64 degrees is way to cold especially when you are sitting in an office. Marion would have my head if I kept it that cool, lol..
Your meals all sound good. We've been eating a lot of chicken around here too. Not only is it versatile, but it is also more price friendly:) I sure wish we could barbecue though!!!
Thanks for sharing, Tina...enjoy your "warmer" weather:)
Apparently NY's weather is coming this way #shudder
ReplyDeleteI feel soups coming on!
Louise, you are cortunTe to have only gotten 2 inches of snow with that awful storm. It's been so many years since I had to mess about with snow, I don't miss it. Thanks, about the meals, chicken is very versatile and we clearly love it!
ReplyDeleteLaquet, soup is always good but better as a quick warmer. I'm sorry you are about to get that nasty storm!
But it's only going to dump rain #phew
ReplyDeleteSweet potato and bacon soup here yesterday - didn't need much, just a handful of lardons, onions, potato, garlic and stock. Delicious!
Mrs. L, do you cook the sweet potato first or chop in small chunks? I like the sound of that soup.
