This weekend is the last before Christmas, and I plan on cooking all day Sunday. Normally, I would go on a baking spree, but since I'm calorie-conscious at the moment, that sounds like a not so great idea.
My biggest challenge on Sunday will be a whole roast chicken. I'm using the Jamie Oliver recipe (http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/perfect-roast-chicken), and plan on freezing 1/2 the meat once cooked as an easy add on for dinners in the future. I also want to make some sort of chicken-bake.
In my Amazon Fresh order today I included Rainbow Chard. I've never had Chard before, and I'm not the biggest fan of fresh spinach. We'll see how this goes, but I plan on having that as a side w/ garlic and nuts for Sunday dinner.
I'm also making another batch of Taco Soup - I've been living on it for most of two weeks and I'm still not sick of it! As long as I have a pinch of cheese and cilantro I can't get enough of it.
My plan for the new year will be to have homemade dinners (fresh or frozen) 5/7 nights a week. We're already near this goal, but I want to expand past my normal 5-10 recipes.
