So for 2011 I decided to try something new with this blog. Creating a menu for the week and then just highlighting one of the recipes from the week. The menu posted will most likely be what we had the week before mostly cause I am not that good at planning meals out a head of time. Here is this weeks menu.
Sunday: Cafe Rio Pork Salads
Monday: Grilled Chicken with sauteed onions and mushrooms, green beans, and a baked potato.
Tuesday: Chicken Alfredo over noodles, green salad,and french bread.
Wednesday: THIS WEEKS FEATURED MEAL. Turkey burgers, Jello, and french fries.
Thursday: French dip sandwiches with au juice, and Green Beans
Friday: Pork Chops with Rosemary, cheesy potatoes, Green Salad, and a roll
This weeks featured Meal comes from my sister Heather:
What you will need:
Turkey Burger (Any type of ground meat would probably work)
Worcestershire sauce
Onion powder
Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper
Bread
Butter
potatoes
Jello
For the Burgers you will need to take your ground meat and add a little bit of Worcestershire sauce, Onion Powder, ground cumin, salt and pepper. Sorry I don't have exact measurements Heather made this part and just put what looked good. Next make your ground meat into burgers. This will need to be cooked either on the grill or in a frying pan. Next peal and cut your potatoes into fries. If you want a healthier alternative you can boil the fries for about 10 minutes and then bake them in the oven. For baked fries just coat with a little bit of Olive oil and bake at 400* until crispy. We ended up turning the boiler on for a few minutes at the end to help our fries turn a nice golden color. Remember to watch your fries if you do this as the broiler will burn them pretty fast. You could also just use the deep fryer for your french fries if your not worried about being Healthy. For the buns we just used wheat bread that had been lightly butter and toasted it in a pan on the stove. This meal was served with some Jello that had been prepared earlier in the day.
Look at me it's 2011 and my family has had a home cooked meal almost every day. Thanks to Heather for making us dinner on Wednesday and Janice and Richard for having dinner ready when I got home on Thursday and Friday!
Hope this menu helps you with your Dinner preparations. Please let me know if you like the menu idea or if you would rather I just post Recipes.
