Eat at Home 3!

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...

Wonderful ideas ! I I think I will try the carrots and celery like you suggest . I think it will work well. Thank you .

So, changed up last week a little...we did NOT go out at all, b/c Texas De Brazil is offering a "pay the 1998 price) today and tomorrow...so, since I have a birthday this month, we decided that would be my big family event. Now, even at 1998 prices, it isn't cheap, so we decided that we should skip our normal Sat out...and now, I get to enjoy the nice meal today (and a nice mall trip, b/c ours is at the mall - it's been 6 years since we've gone, so I'm pretty excited to see what's changed...and now I feel old - dang, 6 years...

Sat - Homemade Chili (no bean) Cheese Fries, Strawberries
Sun - Stouffer's Lasagna, Pear Slices
Mon - OUT
Tues - Chicken Tacos, Chips and Guacamole, Sliced Pears and Apples
Wed - Chicken Pot Pie in a 9x13 (single top crust), Banana Nut Muffins
Thurs - ?? (I'm not allowed to cook today)
Fri - Frozen Pizza and Smoothies
Sat - TBD (If we don't go out or do takeout Thursday, we'll do that here...if we do go out, I'll probably make Buffalo Chicken Nachos)

Being bad tonight. I have had a headache since yesterday morning. I am pretty sure it is weather/sinus related, but it has been horrible. There is no way I can do much of anything tonight so I ordered food to be delivered. Bad me, but sometimes it is needed.

I love how many people do loaded baked potatoes as a dinner option--it's one of my favorites! What are everyone's favorite toppings?!

Rest of the week for us:
Wed: burgers, green beans, fries in the air fryer
Thursday: roast turkey breast, gravy, green beans, mashed potatoes
Friday: Hosting a small dinner party and decided to a do a top-your-own mac and cheese bar. Even buying good cheese the mac and cheese is pretty inexpensive--I'll just have to restrain myself with the toppings to keep it cost-effective. The bacon we like recently went up to $7.49 a package, so we'll need to watch it!!
