Happy Monday! How is it the last
week of June already?? Summer fun and summer foods are filling our days!
Here are some of the good things we enjoyed last week!
Monday: Frittata
What I
Loved: This was a
good, protein-rich frittata. It has more egg whites than full eggs (though it
does include some of both) and cottage cheese. It also has a lot of veggies and
some turkey bacon, so it was pretty AND filling. We had some toast with it, and
it was a good dinner! (Here is a similar, free recipe with fewer
veggies.)
Tuesday: Fish Tacos
What I
Loved: This recipe
was full of cilantro – both for the marinade for the fish and in the homemade
dressing for it. This was my first chance to cut fresh cilantro from our
garden, and it was so good! We ate our tacos open-faced because it was easier
that way, but they were yummy!
Wednesday:
Leftover Fish Tacos
What
Worked Well: I
wasn’t sure what the power might do this day if the storms came as predicted,
so this is something we could have eaten cold if needed. (Thankfully we could
still warm up the fish…but it was a possibility if things had been rough.)
Thursday:
Roasted Chicken with Baked Asparagus
What We
Liked: We love a
good rotisserie chicken, but we don’t have a Sam’s (or other similar store)
close by that sells them at super affordable prices. I decided it would be a
good idea to learn to roast my own, so I decided to try this slow cooker
recipe! It turned out pretty tasty – and it was so easy to throw everything in
that morning and enjoy it that evening (and subsequent lunches). I added the
trusty old baked asparagus for a side.
Friday: Wood Fired Pizza
Our Thoughts: We have a new wood fired pizza place
nearby, and we hadn’t tried it yet. So for our proper lake weekend date night,
we ordered carry-out and enjoyed it at home! We chose a two meat/three veggie
pizza, and it was good! I am actually not a huge fan of burned anything, but
Ryan loves it, so I gave my charred crust sections to him, and he enjoyed them!
Saturday: Nelson’s Chicken
Our Thoughts: Our church did a Nelson’s chicken
fundraiser, so we ordered chicken and potatoes. We took this for our dinner
when we got McDonald’s for Mom and Dad. It’s been YEARS (probably close to 20)
since I had Nelson’s chicken, but it’s still tasty! We enjoyed the seasonings
on both. I got two meals out of mine – and shared my potatoes with Ryan.
Sunday: McAlister’s Date
What We
Chose: Ryan and I took Jonathan and Julie’s daughter to an event on Sunday, so on our way
home, we had McAlister’s! (Where was this when we lived in Marion??) We always
pick two…and we both chose chili this time. I added the southwest salad, which
I love, and he picked a sandwich!
