Thursday, June 24, 2010

June 21st - June 27

Monday: Steak rolled with Peppers and Monterey Jack Cheese and Mashed potatoes

Tuesday: Eat out

Wednesday: White Chicken Enchiladas with Rice and Beans
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ Search for "Chicken enchiladas" and "Mexican Rice" If you have not seen Pioneer Woman's blog, you really need to check it out. She has some really good recipes!!

Thursday: Roasted Beef Tenderloin with green beans and macaroni and cheese
I got the beef tenderloin recipe off of Pioneer Woman's blog. Beef tenderloin is expensive, but you can tell the butcher how many you are feeding, in my case just two, and he will cut you a smaller portion. This can really save you some money!

Friday: Homemade Pepperoni and Hamburger Pizza
Recipe courtesy of Criquett Lehman

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Brisket with Baked Potatoes and Green beans
Brisket recipe is from Pioneer Woman's blog

June 14th - June 20th

Monday: Blackened Shrimp w/ Dirty Rice

Tuesday: Bowl of Progressive Chicken Noodle Soup (Travis was on call)

Wednesday: Poppy Seed Chicken w/ Asparagus
This recipe can be found in the May/June issue of "Cooking with Paula Deen". This was a casserole recipe made with chunk chicken, but Travis does not like how everything is mixed together in a casserole, so I cooked the rice for about 15 minutes in the oven using a mixture of chicken stock and water. Then I placed chicken breasts on top of the rice, cooked about 15 more minutes, and pulled it out to pour the sauce over the top. I cut the sauce recipe in half. I allowed the dish to cook about 10 minutes, and then pulled it out one last time to place the crackers on top. I can send you the original recipe on request.

Thursday: Mushroom Swiss Burger and Gorgonzola Fries

Friday: Paprika Chicken

Saturday: Ate Out

Sunday: Peppered Beef(Paula Deen Cookbook) with Fried Rice

As you can see from this menu, I do not cook many vegetables. Travis does not like vegetables...He's a meat and rice person.
