The recipe was in some magazine this week, I think it came with Brian's copy of Time Magazine. It was cheese (well, duh) spinach, chicken, peppers and pasta. We opted to swap ricotta for cottage cheese, I despise cottage cheese. A perfect dinner, with lots of leftovers for lunch later in the week. It even served as dinner another night for Brian and I, stopping us from succumbing to the Takeout Pizza Monster.
Later in the week, I made chili. It was not good. I've made chili many times, but usually use tomato salsa as a base. This time, there was no salsa in the house, we'd eaten all of it with guests last Sunday and forgotten to buy more. So in a pinch, I used spaghetti sauce as the base. Also, we had no red kidney beans in the house, so I used the only thing I had for beans in the house: white kidney beans. I thought they'd be better than nothing....I was mistaken. No leftovers from this epic fail.
However, corn muffins were part of the menu plan on Chili Night. Whenever there's baking to be done, both boys come scrambling to the kitchen, begging to help. Will got there first this time, and got to mix the muffins and help pour:
Brian has a few weeks off before his FINAL grad school semester this summer, so we'll be sure to eat better in the weeks to come. :)
