Welcome to the weekend, my associates! We awakened in a winter wonderland yesterday and (YAY!) it snowed once more final night time. I’m loving my view as I sip my espresso and write the e-newsletter this morning. Our forecast is chilly with just a few snowy days scattered all through January, so I’m grinning fortunately as I take a look at the calendar right this moment.
Over the previous six years since we moved to Ohio, we haven’t seen practically the quantity of snow that I anticipated, so it is a enjoyable reward. I plan to bundle up and luxuriate in a snowy stroll later right this moment.
ON OUR MENU THIS WEEK: Classic Pork Carnitas. This can be a meal universally cherished by just about everybody I do know, so I’m making an enormous batch right this moment to share with associates. We’ll serve the carnitas as street tacos and certain use no matter meat is leftover in a breakfast skillet in a day or two.
I’ll be making my Grandma’s German Pancakes with Orange Sauce for brunch after church tomorrow. We’ve a bowl of oranges on the counter and after I exploit just a few for the carnitas, the remainder will probably be excellent for a batch of orange sauce.
Because it typically is, Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese are again on the menu. This can be a much-loved lunch or dinner for the entire household when the climate will get chilly.
All of the components we love in traditional Chinese language egg rolls come collectively on this Egg Roll Stir Fry recipe. When you’ve served up these irresistible bowls of deconstructed egg rolls, your loved ones is more likely to ask for this meal many times.
These Sweet and Sour Meatballs with bell pepper and pineapple are one of many best crockpot meals to make. I serve this over steamed rice and it’s a dinner that my boys devour each time.
I’ve a ham shank tucked into the again of the freezer and it’s destined for the crockpot this week. Tender chunks of ham meld with earthy inexperienced beans and hearty potatoes on this tremendous easy Crockpot Ham, Green Beans, and Potatoes recipe.
Crunchy toasted Brioche topped with jam and almonds creates an irresistible pastry called Bostock. So simple as it sounds (and is to make) when you’ve tasted it, I’m prepared to wager that you just’ll be telling everybody about it.
What I’m CRAVING: The climate exterior could also be chilly and snowy, however I begin craving ALLL the vegetables and all kinds of salads as quickly because the calendar flips to January. It’s as predictable as my love of ice cream, this popcorn (we purchase large baggage of popcorn each week at Costco), and green chile.
My FAVORITE THING this week is this puzzle board. I’m completely obsessive about it. I requested for it for Christmas (as a result of sure, I’m roughly 100 years outdated now) together with a number of puzzles. The tray makes it really easy to maneuver an in-progress puzzle round. I get pleasure from engaged on puzzles on the kitchen desk, however then at meal occasions, puzzles had been all the time in the way in which. With this tray, I can simply elevate every thing out of the way in which – setting it on the kitchen island, the espresso desk, and even sliding it below a sofa. It’s a sturdy tray with 4 sorting trays that slide below it for puzzle items, but it’s gentle sufficient to simply carry round the home.
