Starting to clear out the freezer in preparation for the holidays, so bits and pieces of frozen food. I also found some asparagus at Trader Joe's which wasn't too bad despite the time of year, and I'm going to go see if I can find more.

Monday: buffalo chicken(*) wraps.

Tuesday: peanut chicken(*) curry with rice.

Wednesday: hash browns(*), bacon(*), eggs.

Thursday: Ikea meatballs(*), boiled potatoes.

Friday: grits/polenta with creamed spinach.

Saturday: Chicken sausage(*) with pasta.

Sunday: Asian pork tenderloin(*) with rice.

(*) are coming from the freezer. Usually I'm pretty good at rotating stuff, so the even if I buy chicken breasts when I still have chicken breasts, I used the old stuff first but... not always. So I try to do a significant freezer clear-out once a year.

The hash browns are, alas, the patties from Trader Joe's, so not free on WW, damnit. Linnea was eating three of them for lunch three times a week last spring and would get grumpy if we ran out, so I bought like three packages. As per usual with my kids, the second there was an abundant supply, she went "off" of them and they've been sitting since. So eat them we will, lol, just not three for lunch three days a week.
