This week was a typical week for us, here, but soon we will heading into school and lots of prep-ahead coming!
But for now here is the menu: 08.23.21-08.29.21 Weekly Menu
Chef Salad: which is pretty self-explanatory but I do love to make my own homemade Russian dressing for this.
Venison Stroganoff: I basically used a ground beef stroganoff recipe and upgraded for our c/f home so:
1 pkg egg noodles
2 lbs ground beef (or ground beef if you don't have a cow allergy)
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 can chicken broth (or beef broth if you don't have a cow allergy)
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
8 oz plain coconut yogurt (or sour cream if you aren't d/f)
Cook noodles. Brown ground beef with pepper and oil. Whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, mustard and worcestershire sauce add to the meat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add yogurt and cook until heated. Serve with noodles.
Labor Day Chicken: which is what my family calls a vinegar based marinade for chicken. Why you ask? Well...typically will have this chicken at summer holiday picnics. When I asked them one day what they wanted for dinner they said that chicken you made on Labor Day, and ever since then it has affectionately been called Labor Day chicken in our home. This recipe has also been known by others as Firehouse chicken, Speadie Chicken, Brook's Chicken, or Cornell Chicken. All of it is very similar. As you can see this is a well loved recipe:
Raspberry Glazed Pork Chops: so this is not as complicated as it sounds. Basically buy some Shake and Bake and boneless pork chops. Bread the chops and bake as directed on the box. Then take a jar of seedless raspberry jam and thin it out with some balsamic vinegar and heat it up. Viola! a nice drizzle of raspberry on your breaded pork chops.
Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs: this one is a bit labor intensive, but a great prep ahead meal. I have tried this recipe with store bought meatballs... not as good... make the meatballs from scratch... you will thank me.
Taco Pie: this is a recipe I got from a friend years ago:
Creamy Vegetable Rigatoni: this was an older E-Meal recipe. It was super yummy!
There you have it folks! Have fun cooking this week.
