This week
was full of celebrations, so we have a mix of new and tried-and-true recipes
coming your way! I’m getting excited about grilling/salad season coming my way,
that’s for sure! Come on, lettuce, green beans, tomatoes, and the rest of the
garden! You can do it!!!
Monday: Leftover Grilled Chicken and Spinach Berry Salad
What we
loved: This chicken
and salad combo was the tail end of what we served for small group a couple of
days before. I was happy we had enough left to feed us this night! I always
like it when a grilled dish (especially) can last a few days. Work once, eat
for many days!
Tuesday: Inside Out Cheeseburgers and Cucumbers
What we loved: Ryan and I both loved the flavoring in this burger recipe. It
was really good! The cheese in this recipe was supposed to be tucked inside the
burger, but we just ate the cheese on top like a normal burger. (Here
is a similar burger recipe.)
Wednesday: Bible Study Snack Party. I took Better Than Anything Bars
What we changed: Our Bible study party took this night,
and everyone pitched in a favorite snack. This became my dinner, and my
contribution were these cookie bars. I did bake it quite a bit longer than the recipe
called for…it was hard to tell when it was done because of the melty chocolate
and the gooey caramel, but it definitely needed more than the time on the
recipe. Next time I would definitely make it a day in advance to give it
adequate time to fully set up before cutting the bars.
Thursday:
Dinner out at
Joseph Decuis
What we
chose: I haven’t told
you about my fancy birthday dinner yet, but Ryan surprised me with a meal at
Joseph Decuis, which is a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fancier place than we ever ever
go. We shared a hummus board and then I had a kale salad and seafood gumbo, and
Ryan had coq a vin. It was all very, very good. (The gumbo was super spicy, but
it was great.
Friday: Pizza from Casey’s
What we chose:
This was a last minute
choice that wasn’t the healthiest, but after working in the garden five
straight hours, no one wanted to cook, and we were out of leftovers. Pizza for
the win!
Saturday:
Sloppy Joe Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
What we
loved: This was a
nice full meal that made ample leftovers! The meat mixture has enough add ins
with the onions, peppers, and diced tomatoes, that it stretched the meat. I
love it when that happens. I made extra baked potatoes for us to split, so I
was glad we had a little more to go with the extra meat!
Sunday: Amish Breakfast Casserole (For Appreciation Breakfast) and Leftover
Sloppy Joe Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
What we loved: The breakfast casserole is a longtime staple in my recipe box, and I love it that I can assemble it the day before and bake it the morning I need it. That’s what I did for our hospitality team appreciation breakfast on Sunday! (I also served fruit and biscuits and gravy, but I did canned biscuits and canned gravy, so I can’t take credit.) Then we had the leftover sloppy joe sweet potatoes for dinner, and they warmed over very nicely!
