We enjoyed our cooking this
week!! Tried some new things, enjoyed most of them, and also ate a couple of
emergency Subway meals! Here’s what we had:
Monday: Asian Chicken Salad
What We
Loved: Healthy
recipes for Asian food always make me nervous, because I’ve learned (at least
for my taste buds) Asian food needs to be full fat/fried/not that great for you
to taste good. But this pleasantly surprised me. I did skip the wonton wrappers
because I didn’t want to buy a whole package for just a few. I air fried our
chicken, and it was tender and juicy!
Tuesday: Stuffed Pepper Casserole
What We
Loved: I needed a
recipe that made more than four servings, so this one won for this night. It
was easy to throw together in the skillet on the stove and made six servings. I
knew I wouldn’t have time to cook Wednesday night and would still need
leftovers for Thursday, so this was the winner. I used riced cauliflower
instead of quinoa, so I didn’t need the chicken broth. There were plenty of
juices from the tomatoes to make it work!
Wednesday: Leftover Stuffed Pepper Casserole
What We
Loved: We had to
leave almost as soon as Ryan came home from work so we could get to the T-ball
game in Greentown, so leftovers saved the day!
Thursday: Subway Sandwiches
What We
Chose: This was not
the planned meal for this evening, but when our water went out of commission, I
called Ryan and told him to bring home Subway. He got us each a footlong turkey
sandwich (on flatbread for me) so we would also have lunch for Friday. So very
thankful for emergency food options!
Friday: Steak Kabobs
with GrilledZucchini and Leftover Rice
What We
Changed:
Everything?? First of all, both these recipes were supposed to be grilled, but
it was hot, so I just did them in the oven. Also, I always think I will enjoy constructing
a kabob, and then I remember how much they irritate me to assemble. So for the
steak kabobs, I put stew meat and mushrooms and red onion on parchment paper
and baked at 350 for about 25 minutes. Then I added the tomatoes, because Ryan doesn’t
like his tomatoes cooked. I didn’t make the chimchurri sauce. So the recipe is
mostly unrecognizable. The grilled zucchini was a bit more of a recipe-follow
except I also baked them at 350 for the same time instead of grilling. Still
tasted great!
Saturday: Leftover Steak Kabobs
with GrilledZucchini and Leftover Rice
What We
Loved: We didn’t
have a lot of time to cook, because we were prepping for hosting our small
group for an ice cream bar. Leftovers for the win!
Sunday: Subway Sandwiches. Again!
What Happened: We had a different plan for dinner
and it ended up getting switched at the last minute, so we stopped at Subway to
get sandwiches. May I say once again how glad I am they brought back
flatbread??
