Back by popular [??] demand…
Monday– I am going to be gone for dinner, so the husband shall fend for himself. He’ll probably thaw some soup from the freezer [an exciting Memorial Day, eh?].
Tuesday- I am going to attempt this quinoa and cabbage salad. I’ll probably double it, so I can have it for lunches throughout the week. Also, I think I am going to cook up a chicken breast and add it to the mix.
Wednesday- Family Dinner
Thursday- baked ziti from the freezer, with a salad
Friday- pizza
Saturday- plans outside the house
Sunday- some kind of lasagna. I cleaned out my pantry the other day and oddly found like three boxes of noodles. I might do a Mexican-ish lasagna: inspiration here and here and here.
Thanks for another quinoa salad idea. Made your black bean one for a get together today. SOoooo tasty!
This salad was sooooooooooooooooooooooo good! A few changes:
1. I added about two cooked chicken breasts. I really think that is needed for a “main” dish.
2. I used green cabbage, instead of purple, because that’s what Aldi’s had.
3. I kept the dressing on the side and added it. This was nice, because the salad lasted a few days, so it didn’t get soggy.
4. I topped it with peanuts instead of cashews, because that is what my husband prefers.
I always have at least one or two leftover lasagna noodles from the box. I should collect them and eventually I’d have enough for a whole box. :)
