Meal planning 12/3

[lilsneezy]

I made One Pot Creamy Parmesan Garlic Risotto with Lemon Pepper Chicken the other night. It's not really a make ahead kind of meal but it was super easy and delicious!

QOTW: My favorite kitchen tool... Hmm probably my mini food processor.

Substitutions, additions, personal review, etc:
We add currey powder and an extra jalapeño or two.

Served over rice.


Question of the week: What's your newest or your favorite kitchen tool? Honestly, my favorite is my avocado tool. It slices, scoops,and had an area on it where you can take the pit out. It's great!

CrockPot Potato Soup (link)

I don't have a pic - I've only made it once but this is on the menu for tomorrow. So easy and delicious. Not very healthy unfortunately. It's been a rough few days though so I want some comfort foods!

Sides - salad and breadsticks

QOTW - I am agree with lilsneezy, - my food processor. I don't have a mini one though, that would probably be even better.

I have made this soup twice in the last few weeks. So not healthy but sooo good.

Link or recipe:
carlsbadcravings.com/creamy-white-bean-ham-tortellini-soup-recipe/

Substitutions, additions, personal review, etc: I leave out the celery and double the carrots. Actually, I just bought a bag of shredded carrots and used those. So easy. In the beginning of the recipe, I cooked the onion with butter for awhile, then added the ham(in tiny little cubes) so that it could brown a little bit. Then I added the carrots so that they could soften. Then I cooked the rest of the recipe as written, except I used refrigerated chicken base instead of buillon.

Question of the week: What's your newest or your favorite kitchen tool? I asked for an Instant Pot for Christmas and I'm so excited to try it. I guess the crock pot would be my fav otherwise. We might not eat some weeks if it weren't for that thing.

We made this today

Served with rice, using bullseye BBQ sauce and without cilantro. It tastes like sweet and sour pork, so delicious

I love my onion glasses for cutting onions without tears. My cousin swears by swimming goggles, or you can purchase special onion glasses.

I never even thought of this. I often have to take a break and leave the kitchen when I'm cutting onions because my eyes are so sensitive.
