Weekly Menu: January 26 – February 1, 2014

Cooking for one isn’t nearly as much fun is cooking for two…but it does mean that you don’t need to cook as often since leftovers stretch further.  So I apologize if my menus aren’t quite as diverse or helpful for those of you with larger families…but there are lots of good recipes in the archives to round out your week if you need them.

Both of the main meals this week are two of my all-time favorites. The Chicken & Chickpea Stew is hearty and fulfilling, but also leaves you feeling healthy and well nourished which some winter stews don’t.  The spice and roasted red pepper add a nice kick that keeps my spoon going in for more even after I’m full!  Lentil Country Supper is a recipe that at first glance, sounds a bit boring.  But it’s simple, rustic nature works so well and the sprinkling of herbs on the eggs give it just the right flavor.  A great vegetarian meal to round out your weekly menu.  Friday I”m just going to wing it…based on what I have in the house.  Maybe english muffin pizzas or a vegetarian pasta or even a bowl of cereal…whatever strikes the mood!
