Magazine Plan Mondays for Menu Plan Mondays





I have torn out a number of tempty  recipes from a variety of magazines.  I have become careful when doing this. I used to be indiscriminate about which recipes, I tore from their roots.  If they looked good, why not?

 Now, I check the ingredients, the tools needed and the time the prep and cooking take.  There is nothing more frustrating, nowadays, then thinking I am making some fabulous dish to find, I am missing something, I should have noted.  If I don't have the ingredients or if they are not easy to get, I pass the recipe by.  Granted, I am missing out on some goodies but the chances of my ever making them are slight.

 This week, I hope I have chosen wisely.

 Sunday:  Potato Crusted Salmon from Joy of Kosher with Parmesan Herb Cauliflower from the Food Network Magazine

 Monday - Turnip, Apple and Potato Soup - Whisk magazine

 Tuesday - Donna Hay night - Balsamic and Tomato Roast Chicken

 Wednesday - Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes from Food Network magazine

 Thursday - Pasta with Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce from Joy of Kosher with Zucchini Gratin from Eating Well

 Friday - Chunky Chicken Cacciatore from Taste of Home (has veggies and pasta so it is a meal in one)

 Shabbos - Chulent and Salads

    I usually save my magazines and recipes but never remember to get back to making them. Last month I discarded about 40 magazines that I had been saving - I finally said, "enough"- and tossed them.
    I'm impressed with how many recipes you are making from your magazines! Looks good

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

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

Image
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 ...
