What’s for Dinner: 10/31 – 11/6

November 1, 2021 · In: Mom Life

Another week, another recipe list. I’m always on the hunt for new recipes to try so leave me your favorite in the comments! See what I’m making with recipes below.

SUNDAY – Baked Potato Soup

Halloween just seemed like the perfect day for some soup. I will be sharing the recipe later this week, so keep an eye out for it (sign up for the email list to get a notification).

MONDAY – Meatloaf

I didn’t end up making meatloaf last week, so I’m going to make it this week! I’m using the Pioneer Woman version .

TUESDAY – Tacos

I’m all about easy this week. So tacos it is!

WEDNESDAY – Sheetpan Sausage

Again another super easy meal! I throw whatever veggies I want, cubed potatoes, and Italian sausage links on a baking sheet with seasoning and olive oil and bake until everything is cooked.

THURSDAY – Pork Chops and Rice

Pork chops is one of our favorites to cook on the grill. Brody is obsessed with cheesy rice-a-roni so I will make that and salad as sides.

FRIDAY – Cream Chicken and Rice Soup

This soup is perfect for a chilly fall day (and is pretty easy to make).

Saute 2 chopped carrots, 2 celery stalks, and diced onion in 3 tablespoons of butter. Add in 1 tsp of rosemary, thyme, sage, and pepper, 2 tsp of salt and 4 cups of chicken stock. Simmer for 8-10 minutes. In a separate pan add 5 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup flour. Once combined add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 1/2 cup milk. Cook on low until thickened. Add milk mixture, a shredded rotisserie chicken, and 3 cups of cooked rice to the broth and enjoy.

SATURDAY – This is leftover day. We clean up what is left or I leave this day flexible if something didn’t go a planned during the week.

During the 2020-2021 school year I was pregnant wi
During the 2020-2021 school year I was pregnant with my second. What a crazy year to be teaching in general, but also being pregnant added a second layer to it.

Already a hard year… then I lost my daycare in March 2021.

No options for a toddler and newborn.
So I took a one-year unpaid maternity leave.

Toward the end of that year, I applied for two teaching jobs.
Got both offers.
But my gut screamed:
“Don’t take them.”

I cried to my husband.
Told him:
“I really think there’s something else out there for me.
I think I can replace my teaching income—and daycare—doing something different.”

He trusted me.
I trusted myself.

Now?
I’m living a life I once dreamed of.
Doing what I love.
Working from home.
Raising my babies.
And never missing a moment.

This Homemade Marshmallow Creme is so light, airy,
This Homemade Marshmallow Creme is so light, airy, easy to make and made without any corn syrup. It will make you question why you use to buy the jar stuff.

P.S. the ingredients on jet puffed marshmallow creme are: Corn Syrup, Sugar, Water, Contains Less than 2% of Dried Egg Whites, Cream of Tartar, Xanthan Gum, Artificial and Natural Flavor. 

INGREDIENTS
3 large egg whites
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
Place a saucepan on the stovetop, fill it with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil.

In a heatproof bowl (large enough to sit on top of the saucepan without touching the water) combine the egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tartar. (Alternatively, you use a double boiler.)

Increase the heat to medium-high and hand-whisk the egg mixture continuously. As it heats, it will become frothy and thinner.

Keep whisking until the sugar has fully dissolved into the egg-white mixture.

To check, dip a clean finger into the mixture and rub it between your fingers. It should feel smooth with no sugar granules. Be cautious, as the mixture will be hot. If you’re using a candy thermometer, the temperature should read 160F.

Once the sugar has dissolved, add the vanilla extract and whisk on high until stiff peaks form.

Your marshmallow fluff is now ready to use. Once it has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to clean jars to store in the fridge or use immediately.

This Cookie Dough Shaken Espresso with vanilla cold foam is sweet, bold, and totally worth shaking up at home. Barista who?
Save this one for your next iced coffee craving!

Comment COFFEE for all the details sent straight to your inbox. 

INGREDIENTS
For the Cookie Dough Shaken Espresso:
2 shots espresso
1-2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 tbsp chocolate syrup
1 Pinch flakey sea salt
Ice
For the Vanilla Cold Foam:
2-3 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp vanilla syrup

INSTRUCTIONS
Pull two fresh shots of espresso and let them cool slightly.
In a jar with a tight lid, combine espresso, brown sugar syrup, vanilla bean paste, salt and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until chilled and frothy.
Add chocolate syrup to your glass. I like to smear the chocolate syrup on the sides of the glass for a little extra decor.
Pour the shaken espresso into the glass filled with ice.
In a milk frother or small jar, combine cold heavy cream and vanilla syrup.
Froth until light and airy but still pourable. (A handheld frother works great here!)
Spoon the cold foam over the top of your shaken espresso.
