🍴: Mon – rehearsal and dance class were both cancelled due to the threat of ice, so instead of random dinners, we bumped up a meal planned for later in the week. Good thing, bc this crunchy brown butter carrot gratin did take a while. Totally worth it, served with pork tenderloin, mash, and peas.

🍴: Mon – we got home from PA last week to a leaking kitchen faucet (luckily only when turned on; it wasn’t running for three days) and an oven igniter that finally decided to crap all the way out. With him having rehearsal and me not being called for rehearsal, but having dance class, he

🍴: Mon – rehearsal after dance class = forgettable leftover for a late dinner Tues – Arby’s in the car on the way to PA Wed – Davis family dinner, traditional Thanksgiving style. I did not feel like coming up with something the kids would eat, so decided on this salad to use up sweet

🍴: Mon – Hampton had to be at auditions before I got home from dance class, so, as per usual when cooking solo, I attempted to recreate my favorite seafood antipasti from a restaurant that no longer exists in D.C. I was so ready to eat I had my arugula salad while cooking and it

🍴: Mon – pulled pork bowls with sweet potatoes and beans, salad Tues – creamy goat cheese mushroom gnocchi, salad Wed – Dijon-marinated flat iron, grilled endive with warm lemon/caper dressing (we subbed miso for anchovy vs. opening a tin for a tiny amount) and green beans Thurs – coq au vin blanc, mash, arugula

🍴: Mon – grilled calamari and pan-roasted potatoes with leftover miso-pistachio romesco, salad Tues – grilled chicken thighs with roasted sweet potatoes and lemony green beans. This may be my new favorite way to deal with the small potatoes we get from TJ’s. Wed – NY strip, roasted butternut squash with salsa macha and mimolette
-
🍴: Mon – post-ballet Hampton-made Frenchish dips with TJ’s new shaved lamb shoulder, tots, and arugula Tues – garlic butter chicken and potatoes with zucchini Wed – bavette with an apple/beet salad à la Hampton because he found extra already roasted beets I had forgotten about Thurs – lemongrass-braised chicken with lime rice and sauteed
