My cooking week

We'd been getting together with friends for dinner out a lot over the weekends. We should have them over for dinner or eat at their houses. Anyway, we rebounded during the week as i made dinner for us five days in a row -- pretty good for us.

Monday, I made pot roast in the slow cooker and made maple-roasted butternut squash in the oven. We froze half of the roast and divided the remainder in two for Monday and Wednesday dinners.

Tuesday, I made sloppy joes on burger buns. We had corn with them, and an olive and pickles relish tray. We divided this recipe in half, too, and had the 2nd half on Thursday. Desert was sectioned honeybells we bought in Florida over winter break.

With the dinners, we polished off a bottle of Smoking Loon merlot.

Friday night, I made salmon patties with fried onions and grape tomatoes on the side. The vegetable was petite peas.

We're invited over to some friends' house for dinner Saturday (tonight), so I baked a loaf of egg bread in the breadmaker to bring over. Lunch was a goat cheese and tomato two-egg omelette seasoned with fresh thyme.
