Meatball sandwiches on homemade buns using Andy’s Grandma Corine’s meatball recipe, steamed carrots, and onion rings.

Ok, so I needed to use up some random ingredients left hanging out in our refrigerator, so this is what we had: frittata, toast, and baked beans (from a can and leftover…I’m slacking!)

I used up some of the leftovers from our weekend meals to make some Italian-ish soup, along with stale bread for croutons. The first picture is the way I ate my soup and the second, more boring, picture is the way Andy ate his.

Our dinners the last couple of nights have been a little embarrassing, so instead of posting about them, I’ll keep putting up our weekend meals, which I am much more proud of instead of fish sticks and frozen pizza.

Breakfast Saturday morning was eggs with peppers and onions, toast, sausage, and peach-berry smoothies. Andy and his mom went to Kava House and grabbed coffee for themselves and chai for me. A good start to our day!!

Andy’s mom visited this weekend, so I made us a nicer-than-normal dinner Friday night! Roasted chicken, roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and Dijon cream sauce. Dessert was cherry tart with ice cream. Yum!!

I made a pot of chili early in the week because we had a lot going on in the evenings. One night, we had it on nachos with cheese, avocado, and green onion.

Usually, I’m working during lunchtime and juggling dropping off one set of clients from a morning activity and picking up the next set so I eat whatever I can grab on my way out the door in the morning that’s car friendly (an apple, granola bar, or some pretzels). However, on Wednesday I was working on some stuff from home so got to eat real food. My lunch was homemade multigrain bread, this amazing peanutella, and banana. That peanut-chocolate spread is AMAZING!!! I’ve never really liked Nutella because I’m not a big hazelnut fan, but who doesn’t like peanut butter and chocolate together????

Oh man, this was a good one! Sour Cream Enchiladas, rice, and avocado salad (I used to call this guacamole, but decided that’s not really what it is-it’s too chunky!). I added a little spinach to the enchilada filling to make myself feel better and it was GREAT!!

Wild mushroom soup (from a dried mix someone gave us), Caesar salad, sausage balls, and bread. My photography skills seem to go from creative to boring based on how hungry we are by the time dinner gets done.

Also, I’m pretty sure this is a weeks worth of meals that include mushrooms, which Andy claims to detest, but he’s eaten everything I’ve made…
