Menu Monday: Nourishing Body and Soul

 

                Monday has returned, my friends. Another week is upon us, and here in Shafferland, we are hoping for a bit of a reprieve from unrelenting busyness. And maybe…some more fun recipes! Here were the ones we tried this week.

Monday: Cobb Salad with Lemon Basil Dressing

What We Loved: This website was suggested in a blog I read, and I decided to try some of the recipes for fun! This cobb salad was tasty, though in fairness we did not make the dressing. Used our trusty bottles of G Hughs sugar free dressings. (Italian for Ryan and Ranch for me!)

Tuesday: Rotel Chicken Bake

What We Did: I did not have a rotisserie chicken on hand, so I boiled chicken breasts and shredded them in the mixer. Other than that, I followed the recipe. Ryan ate his as a chip dip, and I used leftover bell pepper (from the cobb salad) to make “chips” to dip in this.

Wednesday: Ground Beef Philly Skillet

What We Did: I made this dish before church so it would be ready immediately after. I did use ground beef rather than ground turkey, and it was quite tasty. We ate ours plain, but you could eat it on bread or with chips.

Thursday: Ham and Veggie Frittata

What We Learned: I have made many frittatas in my day, and in the world of flavor, this was one of the best I’ve had. But PLEASE NOTE: It says to bake for 15 minutes. Try an hour. By the time we actually were able to eat, I was beyond hangry. But it was a good recipe if you have the time to cook it all the way through!

Friday: Pizza at Bible Bingo Night        

What We Learned: I forgot to take a picture! That’s what we learned! Our church had a Bible Bingo night and they ordered pizza for everyone. I was so busy talking, I forgot to take a picture of my plate, but you know what pizza looks like…right?

Saturday: Leftover Ham and Veggie Frittata

What We Loved: We had a long day away from home, since I spoke at a women’s conference, so it was nice to come home to an easy leftover meal. I paired it with toast, and we loved it!

Sunday: Leftover Ham and Veggie Frittata

What We Loved: Though our Sundays after church are typically restful, this one was not, so it was great to, once again, enjoy some leftovers!
