Joan Simpson.We bought a turkey for 69 cents per pound at Aldi's several weeks ago, so my husband will roast it for dinner. I will make roasted sweet potato chunks to go with it, and we will probably have either microwaved frozen peas or microwaved fresh broccoli.
We often have turkey at Easter, as my husband prefers it to ham. However, I will be on the lookout for marked down hams after Easter, as he is not averse to ham sandwiches or ham in soups.
I did not make an Easter dessert, since we are still eating Hot Cross Buns. I will make some Easter-themed desserts later in the week.
We're having ham, probably some broccoli and, of course, deviled eggs (which are keto-friendly.) Probably another tiny slice of apple pie for dessert.
I offered to make deviled eggs, but Will said he ate eggs every morning, so he didn't want any. I made crockpot Chicken Jambalaya. I made two changes from when I used to make it. Instead of cutting the chicken before cooking, I cooked the chicken breasts whole as I could use my ChefAlarm to monitor the temp of the chicken. I also decided to bake brown rice with the liquid from the chicken before combining it back in. I cut the chicken and put it back in the sauce while the rice cooked. We will definitely keep these changes.
I made pork chops and gravy, had it with broccoli and pasta.
To go with leftover turkey on Monday, I made a farro stir-fry with carrots, celery, yellow bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and kale.
We had tacos tonight, and I'm making another batch of custard.
I had steak and a pasta salad.
I had a steak and pasta salad.Repeat from yesterday.
I'm doing a beef stir fry tonight, with cauliflower rice.
We had leftover vegetable farro stir-fry and turkey. I also made some gravy to put on the turkey. I used the pan drippings and about 1/2 cup of quick oats which I ground into flour before making a slurry. I also use oat flour to thicken stews. For flavor, I added some crushed rosemary, thyme, sage, and a bit of sweet curry, with a bit of freshly ground pepper.
Steak and corn on the cob and sauteed mushrooms.
We had turkey again on Wednesday. This time I paired it with sauteed mushrooms mixed with spinach noodles and some of the gravy I made yesterday. We also had microwaved fresh broccoli.
Ham and potato salad.
For dinner on Thursday, I roasted potato chunks tossed in olive oil, which we had with turkey, gravy, and microwaved frozen green beans.
