What I'm Reading (and Eating) This Week #39

Howdy do all?  

(I like to write that because when the Mr. proofreads it, he reads it like Kevin McAlister's TalkBoy on slo-mo in Home Alone 2 making the reservation.  Watch, this will be the only time he doesn't.)  It's been another good week of meals around here.  

Sunday was the grilled cheese and tomato soup I showed Monday.  On Monday, we had a "quick microwave dinner."

That is 10 month old turkey from the Food Saver which was just as tasty and moist as the day I sealed it baby!  So glad I found my final packet.  Also nuked some russets in the microwave and made a quick batch of mashed potatoes and I snapped some green beans we picked up from the farm market the day before.  The Mr laughed and said "your idea of "throwing a microwave meal together" is different from most people, I'm sure.  Lucky me!"

On Tuesday, it had been a long day and the meal I planned on us making together wasn't in the cards so I threw together a BBQ chicken pita pizza with Brussels.

Wednesday, was another day of fighting everything and everyone for the Mr and he didn't feel well.  So, I made this Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce.  Perfect fall dish!

Crispy sage...fancy pants.

Last night we had five TJ's Beef Bolognese ravioli and a salad 

I gave the Mr the week off from cooking since he'd been killing himself with the kitchen sink flange replacement and dealing with computer issues.
