WEEKLY MENU 03.01.20

Do you have better things on your mind than what’s for dinner during the Weekly Menu 03.01.20? We do too! And we’ve got you covered~

What would I rather be doing than dishes? Working on a bucket list trip. (Or anything, really.) I’d like to hit up Italy and eat my way through, one region at a time. Of course, wine pairings would be part of the fun too. And maybe a cooking class. Oh, and checking out a whole mess of churches. And a boat trip.

Our post picture is of one of the places we would absolutely have to get to during an Italy trip – the Amalfi Coast.

The Amalfi Coast (Italian: Costiera Amalfitana) is a stretch of coastline on the northern coast of the Salerno Gulf on the Tyrrhenian Sea, located in the Province of Salerno of southern Italy.
Like the rest of the region, the Amalfi Coast lies in a Mediterranean climate, featuring warm summers and mild winters. It is located on the relatively steep southern shore of the Sorrentine Peninsula, leaving little room for rural and agricultural territories.^[4]

The post picture is actually of Amalfi itself. Steep Southern Shore indeed. Maybe I should add some cliff diving to the itinerary. How gorgeous, hmm? This next one is of Salerno on the Amalfi Coast.

Also not too shabby. How about this one? This one is at Positano.

What does all this have to do with the Weekly Menu 03.01.20? Not a damn thing. Gratuitous travel shots. But winter finally reared it’s head again here in Erieland, and sunny, coastal pictures sparked my fancy. And I’d really love to get to Italy, sooner rather than later.

Anywho. What’s on your travel bucket list?

Back to the Weekly Menu 03.01.20.

I found a piece of beef brisket in the freezer, so we’re having that for Sunday Dinner. If you don’t have any brisket, and beast sounds good for dinner, give Mississippi Crock Pot Roast a shot. You’ll have leftovers for lunch that will knock your socks off.

Tuesday we’re having a low carb entree, rounded out with a little brown rice for those not eating in a carb conscious manner. The peppers are stuffed with a creamy, cheesy sausage filling. How yummy does that sound? That’s how I’ve always done low carb – adding a side or two that the carb eaters are happy with to round out the meal. Everybody wins!

The Crockpot Chicken & Chilis are a fabulous, easy concoction that will warm up any evening. More on that later.

Since our Weekly Menu 03.01.20 falls during lent, we’re going to either find a Lenten fish fry on Friday night or hit up Long John Silvers. We go to LJS once a year, during lent, and marvel at both how good the fish is and how greasy! And we always say we’re going to a fish fry, but seldom do.
