Yay for cruise! I’m trying to talk the hubs into a transpacific cruise on NCL. I am not being very successful.

Oh, we have already talked about using NCL next time we cruise, SO much less expensive. The only reason we are cruising with DCL this time is that it is to celebrate DD's senior year of HS, and she was set on DCL. Our besties are sailing with us, and we are all talking about a Panama Canal cruise with NCL in 2020. Transpacific, though...THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!

I would love to do a DCL cruise. I have ten vacations planned for next year, he just needs to choose the one he is most interested in so I can get it booked. It’s hard having an over analyzing hubby sometimes.

I had a menu change. DD went with Nana to McAllister’s for after church lunch and she got one of their massive potatoes. She has talked non stop about it.

I recreated it for three people for $5.13. Her potato was $7. She said mine was better. THIS is why we eat at home...over $20 for the family to eat potatoes.....no thanks.

[neatokimmo]

This is how you know you are old. I got a monthly meal plan board for dinners, and I am excited lol

 

[FQLover]

How cool, @neatokimmo! I love that board. Is it hanging in your kitchen or a hallway? Talk about keeping you organized!

Ok, another week, another menu

Sunday- was every man for himself, but I made my 14 year old dumplings, ham, and sliced veggies.
Monday- Shepards pie, I made two.. one for the three vegetarians and one with meat for ds, French bread, sliced peppers
Tuesday- Lentil Soup in the slowcooker with homemade bread and salad, leftover ham and potaoes for ds
Wednesday- Veggie Burgers/ Chicken Burgers , salad, sweet potato fries
Thursday- Egg/Veggie/Pineapple fried rice for three of us, and we will have to see for ds14.. he is getting 4 wisdom teeth out and may not eat anything solid for several days
Friday- Buffalo Tofu Penne. We used to use chicken. I'm not too excited about the tofu as a replacement because I think it will be too soft. I'm not sure what would replicate the texture in this dish though and we all love it.
Saturday- Lots of deep cleaning and house chores on this day so we will have to see. I am not opposed to ordering pizza

Is this recipe close to what you made for the formerly Buffalo Chicken Penne? https://whitneybond.com/whats-for-lunch-buffalo-chicken-cheesy-penne/

If so, rather than looking for texture from tofu, I might add shredded carrots and celery late in the cooking process (or even on top for crunch) and sprinkle blue cheese crumbles at serving time...If I was going crazy, I might even try sprinkle toasted chopped pecans, since they work really well with blue cheese and buffalo wing sauce (not as sure about pasta, but that's experimenting for you)...I agree the tofu probably wouldn't work for me...
