Weekly Menu 04.07.19

Are you ready for the Weekly Menu 04.07.19? We have a typical “spring sport” week around here – between practices, games and oh, you know, work, we’re trying to eat without spending all our free time in the kitchen.

I am attempting the Instant Pot during Weekly Menu 04.17.19.

It was a gift for Christmas last-last year, and it honestly doesn’t get much love from me. I am fully aware it’s probably the cook, though, so I found a recipe for a version or something that we love around here (Cajun Red Beans and Rice ) that normally gets cooked in our slow cooker, and we’re going to give it a shot. We’ll let you know how it goes.

How much do you love the zebra?

Bert maintains that everything I wear is black and white, so it’s no wonder that I adore the zebra. It actually represents something that I’m making for Bert! I made a knock off of Little Debbies Zebra Cakes a couple weeks ago, and they turned out fabulously.

My Zebra Cakes were too big, but no complaints.

I used a box cake for the base, because I am A-Okay skipping scratch made for ~~(a lot)~~ some recipes, and this is a perfect example of that. These are super simple – they just have multiple steps. I’m going to use the same biscuit cutter again, but if I were a reasonable woman I’d get a smaller one. Or use a glass with a smaller diameter. Ha! Reasonable is not something I get accused of too much.
