Welp, I really do try to look at weeks at a glance and have variety, but...we have a lot of black beans this week ok? With food costs going up so much, I am trying to stretch or replace our proteins more often, and beans really do fill you up. There are head notes in all the recipes with more information! The Sweet Potato Stew is actually best day of, which I never say about stew things but I am saying here. All the delicious broth sort of gets absorbed the next day. The arepas are a bit of a project, you do need a specialty ingredient but it's nice to do something different. The chicken chili is your make ahead or deliverable item this week and my kids favorite of the bunch. Well, second to these very weekday-friendly breakfast sandwiches. Brioche buns are everywhere now, and they make the sams really special.

No treat on the menu this week, but I am making these Banana Bread Cookies today and also have ingredients for Jessie's Peanut Butter Crispy Balls should you need towards something sweet but not over the top.

Have a good one!
