This is the second part of my two week cooking challenge. Miss E was home for two weeks this month and I was determined to make something different for our meals each day. To make it even more interesting was the fact that we had plans to visit one of our boys who is in college and take him some meals on the same day as Miss E intended to head back home. That meant that I either had to make two different meals most days or double the recipes. The care package meal plan had already been in the works before her visit so to make things simple I stuck with the meal preparation schedule the second week and made enough for the care package and our meals. Most of the recipes I did just double to be sure there was plenty but the final decision was ultimately determined by the ingredients we had on hand.
The meals from week 2 begin with breakfast on Saturday morning.
Martinelli's in champagne flutes makes anytime a special time! We had some sparkling cider leftover from the Backyard Bridal Shower so we had fun sipping some by the fire. We also kept our crock pot full of hot spiced cider for the colder days.
A big batch of spaghetti sauce made enough for two extra to freeze and put in the care package.
We had fun making Halloween Sugar Cookies. It was a big batch so there were plenty for all of us.
One for dinner and one for the care package.
Two pans of coffee cake.
The cinnamon rolls were made on Friday morning so that they would be out of the oven by the time we were ready to leave. We packed up a cooler with the frozen meals and a box held all the other food including 2 jars of homemade pickles. The cooking challenge was a success and we had a wonderful visit.
Happy Saturday!
