December Dinners
 
Tonight I had no plan and threw something together that everyone loved. I had pasta, miso ginger broth (from Trader Joe's), cabbage, onions, garlic, and Aidell's pineapple teriyaki meatballs (from Costco). I cooked the meatballs and the pasta in the miso ginger broth (just enough so the pasta would absorb most of it), sauteed the vegetables, and tossed it all together.

I refuse to accept it's already December! But dinner is chicken pie and veggies tonight.

Tonight will be chicken and basalmalized onions.

I just bought shrimp last month. This looks like a perfect recipe for us! How spicy was it with the cayenne in the marinade?

I actually used about half of what it called for and it still had a kick because of the pepper and curry. :) I also slightly blended the sauce because of my picky boy and I prefer the sauce that way.

My version of a Greek bowl: Greek meatballs, yellow dill rice, Greek marinated salad (cuke, olive, red onion, chickpeas, artichokes, feta in a lemon vinaigrette), dill yogurt sauce, crumbled feta.

: tu I usually use tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes in meals like this. I don't like tomatoes, but sauce is okay.

I love Greek food. Lemon, oregano, dill, feta are some of my most favorite flavors. I still need to perfect my dill yellow rice. I'm not sure why I can't get the texture right although the flavor was better this time. I wonder if I need to bloom the turmeric - maybe it needs to cook a little first so it doesn't give a chalky-like texture. :think

I forgot to post anything from last week. :dohThis week we have one person having their wisdom teeth out so menus are going to be soft the second half of the week!

Tuesday - Creole pork chops, rice, asparagus
Wednesday - Crockpot chicken in bone broth (hopefully falling apart), baked potato, zucchini
Thursday - pancakes, eggs, sausage, cheesy hashbrowns
Friday - lemon pepper tilapia, broccoli cheddar rice, beets
Saturday - ham and potato soup (I made up a version two weeks ago that was incredibly yummy - I can share the recipe if anyone wants it)
Sunday - roast and carrots, mashed potatoes, green beans, gf gravy, layered salad with parmesan peppercorn ranch

Well, tonight I'm not sure as my daughter's making something later and hasn't told me yet. Tomorrow night I'm still not cooking, tomorrow is my son's wedding so it'll be wedding food for dinner!! I'm super excited (And I've also been baking all weekend to help get food together for it)

Well DH and DD are. I’m doing the 21 Day fix, so I’ll probably have spinach and a veggie burger :giggle
