This would not be "everyday" food for us, as we're not that into canned biscuits, but it would be great company food because it sure is fast and easy. I wonder if it would work just as well with my homemade biscuit recipe?
My next project was to poach chicken breasts, which I cooled and diced. I put 2 into 3-oz packs for Pepper and I for quick lunches and froze the rest in 1.5# packages for a quick addition to dinners.
I prepped some celery for the week -- sticks for the kids and dice for recipes. I sauted and froze some of the dice. Today I will separate the grapes and grape tomatoes into snack size bags for fast access.
We made Cherry No-Bake Granola bars. My basic recipe originated here, but of course, I've Tischler-ized it. My version is on Spark Recipes. If you've never made your own granola bars, do try them. These are so fast - they take minutes - and you can customize them to your taste. If you use my recipe, make sure you like the taste of roasted sesame before you add it, because it's a prevalent flavor. We eat it a lot on our Japanese foods so we all are used to it but I would think some kids, especially, might not care for the strong flavor. You can leave it out with no ill effect. (36 bars per pan, 5 WW Points +)
I am trying to keep adding to our prepared foods so that each week's lunches and snacks are easier .
Here's the plan for the week:
Monday:
Lunch: Pizza, grape tomatoes, cuties
Dinner: Chicken Yakisoba, cucumbers
Tuesday:
Lunch: Turkey, Carrot, Egg and Green Bean Soboro bento
Dinnner: Asian Salad
Wednesday:
Lunch: Boiled egg, "Kids sushi" sandwiches, apple
Dinner: Root hog! (Everyone eats from the larder or leftovers)
Thursday:
Lunch: (Kids eat school lunch today)
Dinnner: Black beans and Rice on bed of baby spincah
Friday:
Lunch: (Whatever I can dig up!)
Supper: Three cheese potato tacos, iceberg salad
Can't think ahead to the weekend. Have a great week!
