All alone but back on track

School is back in session this week and it is time to get back on a regular schedule. After spending this summer season slacking off- well, maybe not exactly slacking off, but cooking day by day, I was ready to make a meal plan and execute it. There is such comfort in knowing we can have a home cooked meal for dinner, regardless of how tired I feel at the end of the day.

Since Kate is somewhere between chopped and dropped (I wish she would come back!), and Summer was out of town for the weekend, I had to cook alone. It was not nearly as much fun, but mission accomplished.

In about two hours I prepared a cheese lasagna (meatless, so I'm bracing for the grumbles), beef stir-fry, chicken tetrazzini for the slow cooker, and chipotle turkey burgers. The other two meals were deliberately chosen because they are so quick and easy.
Sides this week are a breeze, too. Salads, brown rice in microwaveable bags from Trader Joes, and a few other veggies.

With two dinners in the freezer and two in the fridge, this week should be smooth sailing. Food reviews to follow!
