On Monday the high is supposed to be 20 degrees with a wind chill of zero. Yes, zero. This is so unusual for our area that people are freaking out! I'm trying to remember some of the cold-weather tips I grew up with - wrapping outside faucets to keep them from freezing and bursting, as well as keeping the cabinets under the sink open to let warm air flow through. Bundling up is also recommended!
So to warm us up, I've got soup on the menu this week, as well as some comfort food. Maybe I'll even whip up some homemade hot chocolate to keep us toasty. What's your week's forecast looking like? Cold and snowy/icy or balmy and warm?
Here's what I've got planned for this week:
Monday
Creamy ham and potato soup, pretzel rolls
Tuesday
Greek chicken in the crockpot, Greek lemon potatoes
Wednesday
Chicken gyros (using leftovers from yesterday's meal), Parmesan couscous
Thursday
Baked egg rolls, garlic sesame noodles
Friday
Indian butter chicken, rice
Saturday
Beef and noodles, broccoli
Sunday
Crockpot chicken and wild rice soup

Your menu looks great! :) It's colder in Georgia at night than in Finland lol! My parents are saying it's good we stayed here for this part of winter since it's been just cold and wet and all. I hope you all stay warm! We always put quilts in the dryer for 30 minutes and then took them out, all warm and cuddly. The house in GA is so drafty at winter!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the quilt in the dryer idea!
DeleteYour menu looks amazing! That Greek chicken sounds yummy! Going to have to try that one out. Try your best to keep warm this week!
