I'm making a fancy pork shoulder recipe with barley and spinach as a side. And then it's getting packed away in the freezer for lunches.
I might also cave to the temptation of making cookies.
Red Velvet birthday cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and fresh raspberries...
Have already made a pork roast in Hard Apple cider with mushrooms and onion (liquids and onions & mushrooms were pureed, and cream added...mmm).
biscuits and gravy with jelly...not very healthy but for this chilly weekend, it's the most perfect comfort food! ;-)
Tomorrow's breakfast will be an apple dutch baby pancake. Not sure about the rest of the weekend but since I ordered my fish for pickup at the farmer's market on Sunday, I know that Sunday will either be red snapper or albacore.
going to try pioneer womans grilled ribeye with onion-blue cheese sauce tomorrow night for our date night. then sunday i'm going to practice making chicken wings... never made them, so ill try them for sunday football.
and i dont know why but i'm craving good ole fashion rice crispy treats!!!
Ran all over the place today trying to find regular, non-sweet/glutinous/mochiko rice flour. Finally found some, and so tomorrow I'm going to make kushi dango from the recipe at about.com. Tried out a mini-batch tonight, and I think I made them too large because...bleh! Undercooked middle. Otherwise, they're pretty easy.
I also found some really delicious walnut and red bean filled cake things, kinako pocky (never had this one, so I had to try it!), and some frozen hanpen and unagi. I'm going to be eating really well.
I have plans for some bread, too. I was going to do that today, but maybe that's for tomorrow.
@erinpearce: I've had those cravings lately too! Try them with the strawberry marshmallows, they're delicious!
I grew up with steamed chi-chi dango mochi, a treat introduced by our Hawaiian friends. Kakugori, did you try baked dango with coconut milk or steamed dango with evaporated milk? Here's a wonderful recipe from the hawaiian newspaper:

Cinnamon rolls! The first Sunday of October we always have cinnamon rolls for breakfast (first Sunday of April too) while watching the semi-annual (LDS) Church broadcast.
I just made wonderful home fries, with addition of hot red pepper flakes, some leftover grilled chicken, a bit of grated cheddar, and some leftover salsa and guacamole. My mouth is burning in a good way!
Later, an apple galette, with some the of the fall New England apple bounty.
This weekend is all about comfort food. Tonight I'm making mac 'n cheese with roasted carrots, onion and garlic stirred in. Along side we'll have a crisp romaine salad. YUM!
I'm a baking fiend today. Already I've made granola and cheddar whole wheat crackers; I've got pita bread rising, and a shepherd's pie with turkey and sweet potato up next. Yum.
Vegan Swedish cinnamon rolls and Lefse (yes I'm Scandinavian).
Crepes! From Julia Child's recipe. I just need to get some Nutella for the filling first.

Chicken stuffed with lemon and onion, roasted carrots, the last tomatoes of the season with a bit of mustard and balsamic crowning them.
My weekend has been kind of disrupted by unexpected work demands, but I do have a pot of roasted tomato sauce on the stove now. Can't really go wrong with pasta and homemade sauce. Might cave and bake brownies with the little one.
I made a batch of the Kitchn's 2007 mushroom soup last year, and it was so good (I made a batch and vacuum-sealed several servings) I decided that it was worth doing again, even going so far to make fresh chicken stock to go with it. Perhaps it is the umami flavor but it was great frozen even 6 months later.
I am using some "Foraged and Found" dried morels and local crimini 'shrooms (otherwise known as baby Portabellos) for the soup. I will pair the soup with crab cake from a local vendor (As Clint says, you gotta know your limitations, and mine is shellfish).
Sarahj: I love the idea of a cinnamon roll ritual! I made Ina's coconut cake. It's getting cold and I'm ready to start braising.
I am attempting homemade soft pretzels! http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/02/knotted-and-stacked-disappearing-acts/
Spinach salad and homemade applesauce for a potluck last night. Right now I have a double batch of chilli cooking. It won't be cooked down by supper time so we'll have chilli soup and cornbread tonight. I hope to have plenty left for the freezer.
Tomorrow I seriously think we need a pumpkin sheet cake.
I had a craving for burgers today, so I grilled out, and topped them with grilled tomotoes, melty mozzarella, basil chiffonade, and a little crisped prosciutto. I spread a little garlic olive oil on the buns, and they turned out sooo yummy.
Paula Deen's chicken noodle soup, minus the heavy cream. (Because why does chicken noodle soup need heavy cream?)
I should make other stuff for the week, but we spent all day yesterday at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, and I feel soooo lazy...
Yesterday was homemade pizza with slow roasted cherry tomatoes with thyme. Tonight is Zuni roasted chicken, and I can't wait!
