C’s Picks – week of 2/28.

You guys. We did it! This is the last day of the dreaded month of February – YIPPEE! That means we are (hopefully) in the final stretch here. Give me all the 50 degree days, we’re loving it.

A fun line up this week, some new some old. Can’t wait to get cooking! I so hope this helps you plan out your kitchen line up for the week. Let’s do this.

Sunday night let’s get some burgers going on the grill. These Drury Lane chicken burgers are full of some pretty good stuff: bacon, sharp cheddar, apples. Yum. Tator tots and grilled veggies on the side.

Monday let’s go with a win for the whole family: grown up chicken nuggets. Love that we can all sit down to the same platter. Huge bonus that the arugula and chunked up tomatoes are so pretty! 

Roasted and baked stuffed green peppers are another great family dinner. I keep it healthy with lean ground beef, and may sneak in an additional veggie or two. These are good. 

That brings us to Wednesday and to a new recipe I can’t wait to try. Buffalo chicken taquitos! Because if it’s buffalo chicken, it’s pretty much a sure fire win. 

Thursday night M and L fly away to Arizona for the Cubs spring training, I’m not sure who is more excited to go – the little one or the big one. I’ll miss them so much but I’ll get to munch away on anything I want. And that would be these shrimp & avocado power bowls. Oh my goodness.

And it’s Friday. Ahhhhh. B gets to head to the grandparent for a fun sleepover and I have a night out with some old and dear friends. Can’t wait!

What do you think – anything sound good? I sure hope so. Happy cooking!
