The last week of March means one more week of Cook This Book recipes before we move on to a new cookbook for the month of April! Maybe you are sick of my obsession with Molly Baz at this point or maybe you're just getting started "cooking the book" and aren't ready to move on! I could cook Molly every night of the week but will move on next month for those of you that are begging me to mix it up.
I am allowing myself to splurge a bit more this week - pork shoulder is a not as common a cut of meat. If it is too pricy or hard to find, you can swap it for pork butt which is usually cheaper but harder to handle if it has a bone-in. Also, we have two meals that call for two different types of fresh cheeses (burrata & mozz), which also aren't on the cheaper side. These three items are making up the bulk of the grocery bill (plus the fresh deli lunch meat and cheese Trent requested this week = ~$24 total in my grocery total below). The good news is all of these dinners make A LOT and leftovers are a guarantee!
Hope you have loved Molly March as much as I have & stay tuned for a new cook along in April!

Pasta Salad w/ Morty-d, Mozz & Pistachios - 9/10
This is a fave in our house - great dinner that keeps well and makes great lunch leftovers
You could easily do this meatless or swap in salami, etc.
Grapefruit Burrata Salad w/ Chile Crisp - 8/10
10 in flavor, but definitely on the lighter side in terms of being filling
Snack or light lunch
Crusty bread REQUIRED
One-Pot Chicken & Schmaltzy Rice w/ Lemony Yog - 8/10
Great staple weeknight dinner to come back to!
Heavy on the garlic so feel free to dial it down if 7 cloves gives you heartburn
(not pictured) Ants on a Log Cel Sal & Miso Marinated Pork Steaks & a Big Pile of Spicy Cukes --> we didn't get around to these ones this week, but look out for them next week!!!
