Hello everyone! I much prefer the blog format for the ease of searching everyone's menus. Thanks for designing it Kathy! This week, after having excess red cabbage from making coleslaw, I had a hankering for some German-style red cabbage. I came across some German recipes that tasted surprisingly authentic. I included the links in case anyone is interested!
Saturday:
German sausage http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1718,158168-229197,00.html
sweet and sour purple cabbage

Spaetzle
Sunday: pulled pork sandwiches, salad, steamed brussel sprouts seasoned with garlic salt and thyme (anyone prepare theirs differently?)
Monday: Chili substitute ground turkey, steamed asparagus, salad (by the way, I am sold on ground turkey. It tastes the same and is healthier and cheaper to boot!)
Tuesday: Chicken pot pie (Kathy, could I bother you for your recipe??), salad
Wednesday: Leftover night!!
Thursday:Homemade pizza, salad
Friday: Salmon topped with Dijon mustard and salt and pepper then broiled (this is good, but would love some other salmon ideas!),broiled veggies, salad
Hope you all have a great week! Mark and Jennifer, what are you feeding Mom and Dad this week?
Love,
Ann Marie

Hey Ann Marie! I am thrilled you like the blog format . . . I thought I was the only one who had to scroll through a million emails to try to find the one with the menu ideas! :) I will do a separate post with some recipe ideas for you. Thanks so much for the menu ideas . . . I am trying to do our week right now!

What? We're feeding Mom and Dad? This really messes with all of my proportions!
ReplyDeleteLast night was carne asada tacos with stir fried brussel sprouts, bok choy (from the garden!) and mushrooms.
As for BRUSSEL SPROUTS:
We sliced the brussel sprouts in half so things cook faster. We warm up some olive oil, brown some garlic, toss the brussel sprouts (I like to brown the halves before adding other veggies) and then add the bok choy and mushrooms. Season with a sprinkle of sea salt/soy sauce/spices/squeeze of lemon and serve warm.
We also roast them, but that takes a while. Kathy's recipe looks about right.
Someone also recommended putting them halves down on a pizza stone, lightly drizzling with olive oil and seasoning (as above) (with or without wax paper) in the oven-- so the leaves become brown and crispy ... and then sprinkling lemon/parmesan/pomegranate juice...
We have another half a pound so perhaps we'll try this while the folks are here.

PS:
ReplyDeleteMenu to follow (perhaps in the next day or so!).
Kathy, Thanks for putting the blog together. Is it better to post our menus and recipes separate? Or just post ... If you give some direction I'll follow your format.
I'm having fun.

Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI don't think it matters if the recipes and menus are together or separate . . . but I DO think it would help if any recipes are listed in the title of the post. That way we can find them easily without re-opening and reading all the posts. Does that make sense??!! :)
Good luck feeding Mom and Dad!
Love,
Kathy
