Monday menus #102

 I made a Tilapia riff on Chicken Piccata a couple weeks ago*.  I lightly coated the tilapia in flour, sauteed that in butter, then added lemon juice and capers to the pan drippings to make a sauce, and cooked the fish through.  I boiled a couple of small potatoes to make one small serving of skinny masheds to spoon sauce and fish over.
I served mixed greens alongside, and it was restaurant-worthy!

Monday - kitchen closed {mail Christmas cards}
Tuesday - Skillet Chicken Thighs with Butternut Squash, mixed greens salad {telehealth appt. in a.m., might take myself to Wicked in the p.m.}
Wednesday - Mixed Greens with rotisserie chicken, olives, tomato, Greek dressing {dietician appt. in p.m., set up puzzle table}
Thursday - Smoked Pork and Butter Bean Cassoulet, herb biscuits {taking myself out tonight}
Friday - Beef Soft Tacos with lettuce, tomato, and purple onion, side of refried beans
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed but I will eat "planned leftovers" and I am off on Monday!

*I still don't "love" cooking lately, but as I make these satisfying creative dinners I feel a little more at ease with the idea!
