Last week I made the mistake of not printing out the new recipes for the week when I wrote the blog post so I kept having to go back to the blog and look things up. This week I will print it out as I go to simplify!
I thought this week I would try something different - I asked my husband to pick out some recipes. I think he saw the task as work, but I hope that he took the opportunity to chose some good meals that he will enjoy.
Which leads me to my #1 question in the kitchen - Does he really like what I am cooking? My husband is sweet and will eat whatever I prepare or shop for him to prepare - but does he really like it?
So here are the husband's picks for the week!
{old favorites}
Crock Pot Lemon Chicken
Grilled Steak with Green Beans and a Salad (must be a "normal" salad - croutons and no fancy lettuce!)
Lighter Chicken Enchiladas
Cayenne Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa & Couscous Stuffed Bell Peppers (we have some frozen and want to see how they fared)
{new recipes}
1-2-3 Alarm Turkey Chili with White Rice
Lemon Pepper Marinated Pork Chops on the Grilled with Grilled Onions, Grape Tomatoes & Mushrooms
{baking project - if I have time!}
Black Bean Brownies as suggested by An Organic Wife

Sounds delicious, I wish I was your neighbor! :) (any chance you can point me in the direction of a recipe for that crock pot lemon chicken?)
ReplyDelete@Chantel I can't seem to find it online anymore ... but here is what I have written down.
ReplyDeleteCrock Pot Lemon Chicken
1/4 Cup Chicken Broth
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
3 Minced Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp Garlic Salt
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tbsp Pepper
2 Cups Red Potatoes
1 Small Squash
1 Small Zucchini
1 Onion
8 oz Mushrooms
2-4 Chicken Breasts
I just throw it all in the crock pot and cook for 6 hours, and add the lemon juice and some fresh lemon slices if you have them in the last hour of cooking.
"My husband is sweet" - that is so refreshing. Good for you! :o) (And am I allowed to visit if I admit I like cupcakes a bit more than cucumbers?)
ReplyDelete@Andrew - who doesn't love cupcakes?! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Brooke, I love lemon and this is now on next week's menu! (tonight I'm taking thin pork chops, season well with s & p and sage, arrange thin slices of lemon on top, wrap in two pieces of bacon with the ends tucked under and saute till done and bacon is slightly crisp--yum!)
ReplyDeleteSome of these recipes sound intriguing!
ReplyDelete@Chantel - sounds delicious!
