Italian Pot Roast

Italian Pot Roast

Well that was a lovely 2 week break for fall before we dove straight into winter like weather. Pot roast is a meal that just feels right on wintery days. That being said, American pot roast is often extremely heavy with the gravy and potatoes and is just too more than I need (not that Teddy or Zach care, they will eat pot roast how ever I make it!).

Bring on the Pumpkin

Bring on the Pumpkin

Pumpkin is the fall’s version of shrimp in Forest Gump. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin soup, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin … chili! While I’m not a fan of the PSL crazy I can totally get behind the rest.

So this dinner is one of Zach's favorites.  If he could have it on the menu multiple times a week he would.  And honestly, it is so easy to make I probably wouldn't object except for the fact that there are so many things that I like to cook and eat!  

When I say this meal is an easy meal to make I am not making light of anything.  When I made it last week I started at 7:05 and we were putting it into our bowls at 7:30.  That is under 30 minutes for a fresh, hot, home cooked dinner.  Pretty rockstar if you ask me.

Menu 2/19/2017

After a long, relaxing weekend which involved a staycation in Georgetown and eating more in one 24-hour span than we usually do in 48 hours, we have launched into a new week.  The weather forecast for this week is just bizarre, with most of the week in the 60s, more like spring than mid February!

With the weather in mind when making the menu, most of the meals this week are grilled meals for Zach to cook.  I am not a griller, which means at least 60-75% of our spring, summer, and early fall meals are cooked by Zach.  Everything from the meat to the veggies.  It's a wonderful thing to have a husband who likes to cook!
