Monday - New Year’s Day! Leftover Phyllo-Free Spanikopita my Mama made 
Tuesday - Date night with Adventure Dad!!!
Wednesday - Adventure Dad’s last night home, so we’ll have Fish since thats what he’s in the mood for. He’s less than impressed with the deep-fried cod of England so we’ll do some Mahi Mahi steamed in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, green onions and dark sesame oil served with rice and a salad!
Thursday - Spaghetti for Papaya and I
Friday - Book Club! One of our members won a $75 in free Pizza from a local place so we’ll be knee deep in pizza including Kalua Pig and BBQ which is divine!
Saturday - Skillet Strata with Cheddar and Thyme (from my new gift cookbook! Thanks S & E )
Serves 6 to 8
Do not trim the crusts from the bread or the strata will be dense and eggy. Using a 10-inch skillet is crucial for the thickness and texture of this dish.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, minced
Salt and ground black pepper
6 large eggs
11/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
5 slices high-quality sandwich bread, cut into
1-inch squares
1. Heat oven and Cook Onion: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in 10-inch ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat skillet, until foaming subsides. Add onion and 1?2 teaspoon salt and cook until onion is softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
2. Combine Egg Mixture: Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, thyme, and 1?4 teaspoon pepper together, then stir in cheese; set aside.
3. Toast Bread: Add bread to skillet and, using rubber spatula, carefully fold bread into onion mixture until evenly coated. Cook bread, folding occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
4. Add Egg Mixture: Off heat, fold in egg mixture until slightly thickened and well combined with bread. Gently press on top of strata to help it soak up egg mixture.
5. Finish In Oven: Bake until edges and center are puffed and edges have pulled away slightly from sides of pan, about 12 minutes, and serve.
Sunday - Leftovers
