Menu Plan Monday

For Menu plan Monday -this is, "Tear it Out of the Magazine" week.  The words say it all.  As the week progressed, I tore out recipes that sounded like, "us" and this week, I want to make these.  Most of them come from Food Network Magazine and a few from Eating Well.  There are so many good recipes that these magazines bring to the door and at times, they are completely ignored.

 For me, it is a treat to sit down with a cup of coffee and a recent magazine and absorb the knowledge and be tempted by the beautiful dishes.

 How many times do I pass by a recipe to find the next month or so, many people are praising it to the sky?  I am working on doing it right and this is a week to pull it off.  Chances are at least one additional soup is going to find its way to our table now that the weather is cold.

 Sunday - Family dinner out

 Monday - Parmesan Herb Cauliflower with Ginger Salmon

 Tuesday - Broccoli Lo Mein  with Green Salad

 Wednesday - Roasted Veggie and Ricotta Pizza
Thursday - Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup


 Friday - Curried Chicken, Roasted Potatoes and Zucchini kugel
Saturday - Chulent

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 ...
