What's For Dinner? November Week 1

{Week of November 3-9}

CSA share:  white radishes with greens attached, cilantro, swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, mixed greens, a leek, a head of broccoli, three sweet potatoes, two acorn squash and some green onions.
On the menu this week:
1) Scalloped potatoes and ham with pumpkin walnut biscuits and peas (on trick or treat night - Saturday).  I chose scalloped potatoes because I could put it in the oven before we left and it was fine to continue cooking for over an hour and a half.  So I just pulled it from the oven and we were ready to eat after our cold, exhausting hike through the neighborhood.  Earlier in the day, Sophie helped me brush the biscuits with cream and sprinkle them lightly with raw sugar before baking so that they were ready for dinner too.


Yum.  Comfort food. 

Also on the menu this week: 
2) Italian baked penne and
3) chili mac (both pictured in my InstaFriday post)
4) simple bean and cheese quesadillas

I love easy casserole weeks.  When prepped in advance, dinner is ready to pop in the oven when I get home from work.  Makes life soooo much easier.
