Weekly Menu Plan: October 5-11
After an insanely busy weekend, I’m almost glad tomorrow is Monday. You know how that goes … Monday is the chance to slip back into a routine again, thank goodness! Nicholas and I had planned a Mexican dinner for tonight, but The Husband was busy doing some work in the kitchen and that kind of punted that, so hopefully we’ll be Ole-ing tomorrow instead. Here’s what’s on tap for our kitchen this week …
Monday: Tacos, Bean and Cheese Enchiladas and Nachos - tons of melted cheese. ‘Nuff said. Baking with Nicholas: 18 Carrot Cupcakes from Rachael Ray’s magazine. One of our carpooling friends had a birthday last week and hit “the double digits,” so a belated celebration for her.
Tuesday: The Ditch Dog. Martha Stewart dedicated a recent episode of her talk show entirely to hot dogs. The whole 60 minutes. Turns out she loves them. And, of course, ever since I saw that, I’ve been craving them too (and had them twice since). The Ditch Dog is a hot dog covered with macaroni and cheese, a recipe made popular from the Ditch Plains restaurant in NYC, and a hot dog that Martha deemed one of her favorites out of the 50 (!!) she sampled. (You can read more about the episode in an article I wrote for Delish.com right here). Also making Mararoni Salad, using a recipe I found on retro-food.com. The Husband won’t eat it, but figured I could use it for lunch.
