No Puptron, the cinnamon roll is not for you.

January is usually the month I get back into home cooking after a holiday hiatus, but almost all our meals have been at home since getting our puppy – which is probably better for our health, but driving me a little bit crazy – I definitely need to get out of the house!

And it’s not been exclusively home cooking around here – we’ve ended up eating quite a few convenience-ish foods along the way. Cafe Spice Tikka Masala meals have been on sale for 3.49 at Whole Foods, and I’ve eaten probably a dozen of them. Have you tried them? They are so good! This week on the docket I have a few Blue Apron meals, a few classics, and some seafood. Easing my way into 2016 with some good stuff.

:: The Weekly Meal Plan: Week of January 3nd, 2016 ::

Sunday: chicken & garlic chive meatballs with quick apple & brussels sprout kimchi (Blue Apron) I also have some roasted butternut squash that will go with this on the side.

Monday: butternut squash and gouda casserole (Blue Apron) I’ve been getting a few pasta dishes in the meal delivery kits and am looking forward to trying this one. They typically include some panko breadcrumbs as crispy topping.

Tuesday: cabbage and beef emergency protein a version of this technique that I got originally from Nom Nom Paleo and have adapted over the years. Also perfect for those of you doing a Whole30.

Wednesday: tray baked kielbasa, red pepper and potatoes with a side of sauerkraut. This is a childhood favorite – my dad would cook kielbasa on Sunday mornings with our eggs, and it’s one of my favorite sausages.

Thursday: shrimp braised in tomato sauce with parsley over cauliflower rice a little bit of Greek inspiration. I might add feta to this as well. I use Rao’s Marinara for almost everything around here – it’s really the best jarred sauce on the market.

Friday: Out! Or more likely takeout from one of our favorite neighborhood spots.

What’s on your table this week?
