I hope to post three new recipes this week - a pasta dish, a salad dressing and a dessert. I'm also working on a post where I discuss how I do Saturday morning cooking (2-3 hours in the kitchen) that saves me a lot of time later on. Stay tuned for those!
In the mean time, here is what I have lined up for this week. I'm continuing with the less is more, simple is good -
Monday, May 16 - Easy Thai Chicken Wraps with a side of steamed veggies (carrots, broccoli, etc.)
Tuesday, May 17 - Turkey burgers and Beer-Cheese soup (both are currently in my freezer)
Wednesday, May 18 - Leftovers or Eat Out with friends
Thursday, May 19 - Chicken Tacos, with corn and pinto beans
Friday, May 20 - Upside Down Pizza by Recipe Shoebox, with a side salad
Saturday, May 21 - Sicilian Rice Ball Casserole with a side of Broccoli Fritters
Sunday, May 22 - Homemade Chili in the Crockpot with cornbread cake (This makes a ton so I freeze 2/3 of it for later use!)
Next weekend I hope to do several hours of prepwork in the kitchen, work for visitiors that we'll be hosting for Memorial Day weekend. I'll attempt to make a few different desserts listed in my cookbook (such as my delicious cocoa fudge cookies, low-fat brownies and banana toffee squares). I also intend to do some chopping of onions and peppers along with some shopping. That way I can enjoy my time with family after they arrive and spend less time slaving over the stove!
Here is the one additional, new dessert I hope to make this week and freeze for the holiday weekend as well. This one should be easy to make and freeze for simple retrieval on Memorial Day weekend -
Dessert: Angel food cupcakes with meringue frosting! Yummy and low-fat. Plus my sister-in-law and her family loves angel food cake. So hopefully they'll like this version of it. :-)
What's on your meal plan this week? What great dish have you made lately?
It all looks so good and I love that slogan! I am praying that Morgan City won't flood and that the wall will hold, and that your parents will be safe. It's all so sad.
ReplyDeleteI will be making a double batch of the cauliflower fritters tomorrow! My family loved them as much as I did! I will try the broccoli next time :) I am so going to try the beer-cheese soup!
ReplyDeleteWe had Our Best Bite's Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf last night. It was excellent! I also made Raisin Bran Bread for breakfast yesterday morning...very good! Last week we had a Three Cheese Kielbasa Bake (Taste of Home) that was a hit! Guess I picked some good ones for this month! This week is Chicken Masala (Crockpot) and Beef Barley Soup and maybe some grillin'.
