Suggestion from when I was letting my heart heal after the loss of my husband -- make your menu simple, easy-to-prepare, and have ingredients on hand, readily available. For example, saute vegetables (whatever you have on hand -- onion, peppers, celery, squash, peas, carrots ...) and serve over pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan; omelettes with whole grain toast; soups or stews that can be put in a crock pot; spaghetti with extras added in to a basic marina sauce (canned + make it your own, if you have the energy); grilled sandwiches with a side salad (bag salad was a life-saver, for me); fruit plates (you can usually get pre-cut fruits) with cottage cheese and muffins (boxed mix, unless you're feeling ambitious), etc. And yogurt with a granola bar became my go-to for breakfast for months. My key was making sure I had ingredients on hand, and I forced myself to eat as healthy as I could during that difficult time. If I can help in any way, feel free to message me.I have. Toget a meal plan done. This surgery and now this stroke have increased my appetite for healing. Dh isn’t jumping on the wagon to cook much so fast food just isn’t helping heal.

So, may I ask how you make this Tot Casserole??Week of November 22nd-28th
Sunday- Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie Casserole
Sorry, just came back to look for menu ideas and saw this. I don't use a machine. I make the same "dough" as I make for dumplings using eggs, water, and flour and lots of salt and pepper and just keep adding flour to make it a thicker consistency than for dumplings. Then I roll it out and cut the noodles by hand. I let them sit with tea towels over them for a while before I drop them into boiling chicken broth.MrsSoup ~ The tater tot casserole looks interesting. DH used to make an easy one using hamburger. I'm interest in your homemade noodles. Do you use a pasta machine? I might try some one of these days soon ... well maybe when Thanksgiving leftovers are gone. I'd like to try them with an Alfredo sauce and maybe leftover chicken ... although leftover turkey would work ... maybe I could try it with turkey on one of those TBD days. Just brainstorming here.
