Menu Plan Mondays

This is another week of Jewish holidays and I will try to give you a clear picture of what I am cooking.  There are so many meals, I may find, at the end, I can't keep up with my plans and do some subbing.  It is a challenge to make 7 complete meals for 3 days and keep it festive.

I just got Ellie Krieger's new cookbook which I plan to use for CEiMB, Craving Ellie in My Belly.  The group has changed to your choice any time, any where.  If you have made recipes from Ellie Krieger, go on over and link up.  There are no requirements other than the recipe by Ellie's.

Most of the recipes below, for Wednesday through Saturday are from the new book and I am excited about diving in and making them.  I will do a review of the book, after I cook some recipes but looking at it, is pure inspiration.  EK stands for Ellie Krieger and I put this after the recipes from her book.

Sunday - leftovers ---- sweet and sour meatballs, squash rounds, creamy potatoes
Monday - eggplant Parmesan
Tuesday - Omelet with corn bread with sweet corn  (EK)
  
Wednesday - Beef and Corn Bread Pie (EK) with Scalloped Potatoes (EK) and Chopped Fixins Salad (EK)
  
Thursday - Meal 1----- Corned Beef with Creamed Corn (EK)
Meal 2 - Chicken with Sweet Potato Casserole (EK)
  
Friday - Meal 1 ----- Sweet and Sour Meatballs with Rice Pilaf
Meal 2 ------ Honey Crisp Oven Fried Chicken (EL) with Roasted Vegetables
 
Saturday -  Deli Roll, Franks in Blanket, Chulent with Carrot Raisin Salad, (EK) Colorful Cole Slaw (EK) and Creamy Potato Salad (EK)
  

   
Desserts - Dorie Greenspan Double Apple Cake
Ellie Krieger - Kitchen Sink Cookies, Peach Cobbler and Apple Crisp
I have been asked to make something all chocolate but I have not decided yet, what that will be.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
