Weekly Menu: February 11 – 17, 2018

So remember those chickpea blondies I said I was going to make? DANGEROUS. They are SO GOOD. I’ll be talking about them a bit more later in the week but I wanted to give you the heads up on how tasty they were. So this week is a special week! It’s the week I get to crack open my HOMEMADE SAUERKRAUT! It’s been sitting in my closet since New Years Eve and it’s finally ready to heartily consume. I hope it’s amazingly delicious.

Also I didn’t get around to the Huevos Rancheros last week. I had a bit of a scheduling problem for a project I’m working on and it threw a wrench in my day but I am definitely going to be making them this week for sure. Also… COCONUT CREAM PIE OVERNIGHT OATS! Mmmm.

The rest of the week is pretty basic, but check it out, I’m eating tofu… AGAIN. That’s the third time this year alone! How cool is that? I got 2 blocks of extra firm for 99c and I’ve been craving Chinese food something fierce lately.

Romantic Breakfast Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just a week away. Maybe you’re planning to buy your loved one some expensive gift, or maybe flowers and chocolates, or maybe go out for a romantic dinner. But maybe instead of those normal, every day, blase things, maybe you could start their day off right with a romantic breakfast.

Want to give your lover the gift of double entendre? Try this Cherry Pie Pastry Envelope from Liz Bushong. Just don’t try to drop it in the mail! This is super easy even for those not experienced in the kitchen, since it uses premade pie crust and canned pie filling.

Want something that tastes like dessert but counts as breakfast? What about this Raspberry and Ricotta Cheese Stuffed French Toast from Tastespotting? Another easy yet elegant looking recipe that’s not too sweet. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Got a manly man at home that doesn’t want all that frou frou fancy food? Get him a dozen roses. BACON ROSES! Our Best Bites has a great tutorial to follow. Big wow factor with minimal effort, and you can EAT your roses afterwards!

Want something a little more hands on? Imagine spreading thick raspberry sauce on lemon crepes, folding them up gently with your fingers and gently feeding your special someone by hand? Super romantic, right? *wistful sigh* Plus, since these Lemon Crepes with Raspberry Sauce are from Diethood, they’re great for people watching their waistlines.

What about something that brings you back to your youth? These Heart-Shaped Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries from Classy Cooking remind me of toaster strudel. This fun treat will make your lover giggle with the fun of it all.

Weekly Menu: February 4 – 10, 2018

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS!!! The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl! It was amazing!

I’ve never been a huge football fan but I’ve lived just outside of Philadelphia for my entire life, so I had to watch them in the Super Bowl. I even made whoopie pies in the shape of footballs!

So this week’s menu is pretty basic and easy, but I’m excited about it nonetheless. Especially about the chickpea blondies! I hear they’re fantastic.
