With the arrival of summer, I have more free time and I want to make it somewhat productive. Since I seem to have met my unspoken goal of watching every series rerun ever broadcast on SoapNet, I wanted to direct my energies elsewhere.
Way back in October 2009, I read a Real Simple issue with a month's worth of recipes. They broke recipes up into four weeks, and provided a complete shopping list for each week. You hit the grocery store once, then you have five nights of pre-planned meals.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to dine out, and I'm especially a sucker for an impromptu snacks-and-drinks happy hour. Challenging myself to skipping restaurants to cook up "Week 4" is no small feat. So... here we go!
I'll be checking in with each completed meal: preparation ease/difficulty, flavors, time requirements, and photos. I purchased the "Week 4" shopping list at Whole Foods in Sarasota. My bill came to about $76, although I already had chicken, and I added a few items (Annie's Mac 'n' Cheese, extra avocados).
You can check out the shopping lists and recipes (with nutritional info) here.
