Quick and Easy Comfort Food

May 8, 2011

It’s funny how my cravings come in cycles — one week, I need a particular ingredient or flavor in my meals.  Other weeks, it’s a particular snack I want and want and want.

This past week, I have been drooling over any comfort food recipe I’ve found online.

(and I haven’t even been LOOKING for comfort food or thinking about it. . . . but those are the dishes that have caught my eye all. week. long.)

Guess Baby Barney (AKA Numero Three) is in need of stress-relieving, comfort food right now — you know, ’cause it’s hard just sitting around, kicking and punching Mommy’s internal organs, and putting on layers of fat.

(Yeah . . . he/she is the one who’s got it baaaaad during this whole pregnancy game.  Insert eye roll here.)

What We’re Eating This Week

Monday: Poppy-seed Chicken (recipe for my version coming soon), Egg Noodles, roasted broccoli

Tuesday: Turkey with Basil & Mozzarella Paninis (a variation of this recipe), Salad, baked sweet potato fries

Wednesday: Slow Cooker Asian-Style Shredded Pork Wraps* (this recipe calls for veggie toppings, so I won’t be serving any sides with this)

Thursday: leftovers for Hubby …. kidlets and I will be road-tripping to Grammie’s house!

Friday: (a freezer meal for Hubby) Easy Turkey Meatloaf, Mac-n-Cheese, Green Beans

Saturday/Sunday: Hubby’s Choice.  🙂
