Week of 9/21 - 9/27
On Monday I'm making Justin's favorite salad, Pasta House salad. It's a knock-off from the restaurant's famous salad, one with romaine, artichokes, pimento, plenty of parmesan cheese, and an oil and vinegar dressing. It's not the kids favorite, so I'll make a Caesar salad for them. Baked potatoes for them, baked sweet potato for myself. An easy dinner to ease into the week!
Taco's on Tuesday! Traditional ground beef for them, beans for me, and guacamole for all! Ole!
I'm trying a new recipe on Wednesday -
Bang Bang Shrimp pasta from Damn Delicious. I've had Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill, so making it into a pasta dish sounds like a great idea! The recipe has really good reviews, but readers disagree about the sauce - whether to use mayo, sour cream, or greek yogurt. It calls for mayo, which I'm a bit leery of, but Chungah makes amazing food and I feel like I should just trust her and not alter her recipe. (I might chicken out though. I'll let you know!) Green beans to go with because the kids can't get enough of their haricot verts!
It's been awhile since we've had Indian, so Thursday it is! Chicken in a curry sauce (I'm a cheater and use a jar!), brown rice, roasted cauliflower, and naan. Namaste.
We're kickin' it old school on Friday and are having Tuna Casserole. The kids won't eat it at all, so I'll throw something quick together for them. We all agree on the asparagus and the kids and I love the canned, very non-nutritional, but oh, so good, jellied cranberry sauce. I'll feel like a kid again! Well, right up until I have to put my Mom Hat back on and hurry the kids out the door for Vaughn's softball game.
Kitchen in closed on Saturday! Going out for dinner!
Sunday is busy, so I'll throw chicken in a crock pot with a little chicken stock, salsa verde, and a bit of cream cheese. We'll use that to make quick soft tacos when we get back to the house and make a quick Mexican rice and guacamole to go along with.
Another week down! Anything good on your menu? Please share!
