Teriyaki chicken tonight.

No idea yet. We are flying to Orlando......when we get to our villa, we will have our grocery order delivered and figure dinner out from there

Day two of snow. We got 4-5 inches yesterday, getting another 5-6 today. I’m not grocery shopping in the snow. DH suggested football snacks so I’ll see what we have.

I dropped the ball during Christmas break and forgot to skip different meal kits we had rotated through so we ended up with six different meal kits last week (from three different companies). They're all on pause now, but we finally worked through the last of those meal kits on Sunday. The bright side is that we didn't really have to go to the grocery store for a week and a half or so. And all four of us took turns in making dinner (even my younger son with his one good arm as he's recovering from shoulder surgery )

In order of general consensus voting (from most preferred to least), the meals were:

1. Shrimp Fra Diavolo
2. Sesame Soy Beef Bowls
3. Crispy Chicken with Dijon Brussel Sprouts
4. Sweet Ginger Pork Chops with Rice
5. Oven Baked Salmon with Broccoli
6. Pesto-Ricotta Meatball Flatbread

What meal kit companies have you tried and do you have any preferences/recommendations?

Ooh, chicken pot pie soup sounds perfect for a cozy evening! I’m just about to make some garlic bread and watch a movie. Definitely a chill night in. What movie are you going for?

Really cold weekend so I started root vegetables first then I added chicken legs that we had here. We are trying “slap ya mama” Cajun seasoning on all of it for the first time.

I didn't want to be cooking in the middle of the Patriots game so I'm making Chicken Taco Chili Soup in the slowcooker for game time.

Round one of snacks. I had a tube of mini pizza crusts from Pillsbury left from the holidays so I made mini pizzas. I used a half open bag of mozzarella, some leftover pepperoni, and an open jar of marinara sauce.

We had family lunch at my parents house. My sister ordered lasagna and chicken broccoli and ziti with salad a garlic bread.
It’s snowing here and one of my DS’s lives about 45 min. away so he didn’t want to make the drive.
We’re supposed to get 3-6 in. - we’ll see
DH is at the Patriots game( he’s so happy it snowed today!!) so I’m not sure what I’ll eat later maybe just the peach cobbler dessert my mom made that I brought home.

DH isn't in the mood to go to the grocery store. We'll probably order pizza later.

Round 2 was pretzel bites (box mix from King Arthur) with a homemade cheese sauce for dipping.

If you are sensing a theme with King Arthur my parents took a day trip there and I got a bag of goodies. It made me say to DH I’d like to take a ride there (I love their cafe for lunch) and he said use the mixes you gave first. Ok!

I've never heard of King Arthur products. I had to look it up. Are you talking about the location in Vermont?

signed up for honey baked ham rewards when I ordered at Christmas and found out last week I had $18 in rewards that would be expiring soon so we were in their neighborhood friday so I got one of their chef's salads (large enough for 2 people). in 45 minutes i'll start up a batch of tuppa toscana (olive garden recipie). so soup and salad.

Yes, they are in VT. I really like their flour which lead down the road of trying their mixes.

If you are in VT I do recommend their cafe. They are right off 91. It’s things like soup, salads and sandwiches. They make all their bread. Amazing!

They offer cooking classes, it’s on my list. I’d love to take a bread class.

Pork chops and green beans.

That sounds great. I hope I can remember this, if we make it back to Vermont. As a side note, I'm jealous that those of you in the Northeast can so easily visit different states for day trips. It takes us 5 1/2 hours to get to a different state, with the most direct route. It's much further to get to any other states.

@tarheelmjfan I never really thought about it but we go on a lot of day and overnight trips in New England. If you have a free day, this is my usual VT food route. I start North and work my way home.

I drive to King Arthur flour do my shopping then we have lunch at the cafe. We then drive to Grafton Cheese. From there we stop at VT country deli. Sometimes we stop at Guilford Store

Sometimes on the ride home we stop for a late lunch. I love Farm Table in Kringle Candle Village in MA, just north of Yankee Candle.

Edit; This route mostly follows 91.

Thanks for the tip. We've been to https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/, but that's about the only store of that type that we've visited in Vermont. Your route sounds like a great day. I hope we can make it back up there soon to give it a try.

We're with you on Farm to Table restaurants. That's the first thing we look for in a new location.
