Our Halloween tradition since buying this house has been to host a small pre/post trick-or-treating party. I generally make something to throw in the slow-cooker and we have a little something before and after the goodies have been gotten!
Of course, middle of the week Halloween bodes horribly for kids and their schedules, but we will not let that deter us!
This week:
Sunday: Tortilla Español (I use the recipe from the Cook This, Not That cookbook, which has some surprisingly good recipes. I appreciate that they are generally quick and easy and relatively healthy.) I do confess that I used double the olive oil this time and it was worth it. I also had to do some pan con tomate. I used this recipe loosely, but I used my blender to blend up a pint of mini tomatoes with a heavy dash of salt and some olive oil. That plus some ciabatta bread was perfect.
Monday: Quinoa Enchilada Casserole (This is a house favorite. I’ve been making it for years!)
Tuesday: Halloween! I will be making chili (I don’t use a recipe, I just kind of do my own thing, but maybe I can share how I do it?) and baked mac n cheese.
Wednesday: Leftovers! I’m heading out to a concert with some friends, so the fam will eat what’s in the fridge.
Thursday: Trying out Mark Bittman‘s vegetarian pho. Wish us luck! I’ll report back next week.
Friday: We are grabbing dinner at the Mexican restaurant down the street. It’s a fundraiser for the kids’ school, so a no-brainer to end the week! (Remember, by Friday I’m lazy!)
Saturday: I’m thinking some sort of pasta. Will report back. (I’m a little bit more lax now that I’m enjoying my sabbatical, so sometimes I come up with stuff on the fly!)
Happy Halloween!
