It's Tuesday! Today I am making grilled chicken with Caesar salad, rolls, apple blueberry pie bars for dessert and lemonade to drink.
I will marinate the chicken for about an hour, sous vide it for two hours and then use an indoor cast iron grill pan to finish it. The salad is pretty traditional. I do make the dressing from scratch and top it all with shaved parmesan. I was going to make herb garlic bread to go with it, but the grocery store was completely out of anything I could use to make such a thing. I had not anticipated this wrinkle, so I bought rolls and called it good. The pie bars look great - I've never made them before.
It Tuesday! Today I am making all the fixings for a taco bar. I will make ground beef taco meat and grilled chicken (fajita style), so they have a choice of fillings. I have all the extras to make a great taco including homemade salsa. I will make red rice as a side and dark chocolate brownies for dessert.
I didn't post yesterday! It was Tuesday and my menu was chicken enchiladas with green sauce, green chili rice, a big green salad with yogurt dressing and bittersweet chocolate and cinnamon coffee cake for dessert.
The green part of my sauce is tomatillo, avocado, cilantro and poblano. There's lots of other stuff in it including an entire head of roasted garlic, but that's the basics of the green base. It's absolutely delicious. I made a mild version for them and made an additional batch of sauce for us for another day. I added 3 jalapenos to ours. I also crumbled queso fresco over the finished pans of enchiladas.
It Tuesday! Today I am breaking my own rule. At the beginning of this thread I said I didn't want to do pasta because that's such a typical thing to take for a meal. However, I am the only person taking meals at this point and the late husband was the cook. I am pretty sure they haven't had any homemade sauce lately. So, today's menu is spaghetti bolognese, green salad with a white balsamic vinaigrette, roasted garlic and basil butter grilled bread and chocolate chip cookies.
The bolognese has been simmering away all day, though it will be best tomorrow or the next day.
Being by myself find making meals that may last 2-4 days in the fridge or freezer.
Last weekend cooked up a batch of chicken thighs.
Tonight added two to a Maruchan instant chicken lunch...
Microed the Combo for a tasty chicken soup dinner that was close to what my mother made decades ago.
For a meat meal will use a Smart & Final 1/4 lb burger Patty and my 1000/ catsup sauce combo, pre cooked bacon slices, lettuce, tomato, slice of cheese.....
Cut up one small potato for fries that quickly cook up in a lightly oil filled skillet.
Nothing big but meal will taste like In & Out
Beef stew with plenty of vegetables
Hurst 15 bean soup with your choice of meat and seasoning to add for local taste
A pot of homemade chili served with baked cornbread
Here is one of the better and more authentic Louisiana Red Beans & Rice recipes. My wife and I cheat. There’s a local brand of red beans in a can we use to cut the cooking time. I’ll find the brand’s website and share here. http://www.camelliabrand.com/recipes...yle-red-beans/
Well, it's Tuesday today, but I woke up feeling really under the weather. I will continue next week.
