Here’s my menu for this week. I usually make all or almost all of everything listed on a given menu though I tend to eat things out of order (sometimes you’re just not in the mood for something or you don’t want to cook a complex dish on the weekend like you thought you would). You can always see the food I actually made on Friday when I post my weekly lunch compilation on @mabmadefood.

I thought about renumbering these for the new year but I don’t think anyone cares and I’m more curious how long I can keep it running before I just get sick of the number thing so for 2018 we’re just going to keep it rolling.

Shrimp and green beans over rice, carrots and hummus
Chicken and Dumplings, salad, apple
Lentil falafel, couscous with vegetables, salad, grapes
