Don't you just love making it from scratch? 
some canned (wish they were fresh) apricots.
Love your menus.
Lucinda (and others) think to start the daily what's for dinner thread.
We are full of ideas on this forum!

and healthy but not to complicated for a dish with complex flavors. Thanks for the recipe!
Welcome to DU!
I think I will serve on rice or noodles.
And salad.
I bet that tomato-ginger sauces really perks up the chicken.
For some odd reason, I had some hamburger meat in the freezer that I need to use up. I don't really use it much these days so I have no idea why it's in there. 
I have collards, spinach and green beans and will probably use what seems to be going bad first. 
The teens aren't wild about the cauliflower mashed "potatoes" but hey, it's Monday!
asking, "Hey mom, how do you make those cauliflower mashed potatoes." They won't be teens forever. It all sounds good to me.
goes with any kind of pasta. The Campanelle sounds like a nice change of pace.
Otherwise, I'd be wearing it.
lamb korma I bought outside Grand Central Terminal a few weeks ago. I stood on the sidewalk in the freezing cold, muffled and wrapped up to a fare-thee-well while scarfing down this most delectable (and sloppy) treat. Mr. Pup marveled that I was not wearing even one drop of it when I finished! I have a whole collection of blouses with splashes down the front.
Only not blouses, T-Shirts. I had a brand new J.Crew that miraculously appeared with a round stain on it right in the middle. I'm so mad. Wore it once. Currently looking for suitable applique. Usually I just have to throw them away.
But this made me laugh. There is hope:

isn't really efficient. I need a bib in most cases. I save a couple of spoiled t-shirts to do housework, but I have tossed many because of my messy feeding. When I still had back teeth, steak au poivre was one of my favorite meals. I miss steak!
Sounds delicious.
and a few fries from lunch. Mr. Pup back at the office tonight and we don't know when he'll be done. He worked all weekend, too, until midnight on Saturday and until 1:30 Sunday night/Monday morning. No overtime for this, but things in his office are finally getting better. The partner who was so abrasive he was not allowed to interact with clients recently got booted out. This can only help. In the meantime, they are shorthanded and stacked up with work. After that, they are moving. At least we had lunch together today!
He'll be exhausted long before April 16.
His company does courtroom graphics. It's a feast-or-famine business. But speaking of April 16th (I do the taxes) I deposited a tax refund 
from the state today! Thankfully, tax season is over for us!
I once had a neighbor who was an artist/illustrator and you are correct about feast or famine.
week in and week out whether he is at the office or not. He does his own projects in his 'spare' time. I'm very proud of him for working out lately. He's getting shoulders for the first time since I met him. He is in charge of motion graphics (animation) for the firm, so for the past few years the famine part has not been a threat, thankfully.
Doesn't sound like he has a lot of spare time, though.
We will never retire because we both love what we do.
Keeps it interesting!
