We returned home today from a fantastic Larson Family Thanksgiving holiday! 5 days in St. George with my children, my mom and her husband, most of my siblings and their children made for a very fun time! We enjoyed E-biking and hiking Snow Canyon, Big Shotz Golf, fantastic Thanksgiving feast, movies, games and lots of laughs!
I always love walking in my door when I've been away from a while. I love coming home! Now to think about food for the upcoming week. Here's my tentative menu:
Monday: Tortellini Vegetable Soup (I think I'll add chicken) with a yummy Kale/Apple Salad
Tuesday: Black Pepper Rub Chicken Fingers with Yogurt Ranch with a Pomegranate Green Leaf Salad
Wednesday: Healthy Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato Skins with a classic Green Leaf Salad
Thursday: Ratatouille with Spicy Italian Sausage and Creamy Polenta with Steamed Broccoli
Bloggin' again! Just got back from a vacation, so I'm feeling like cooking again! Here's my menu for the week:
Monday: Cool Ranch Chicken Tostadillas with Honey Lime Crema Pretty good recipe. We didn't love the tostadas, they ended up chewy. But the ones I did that were just single layer were good.
Tuesday: Creamy Garlic Corn Chicken with Cheesy Polenta Excellent recipe. Added the juice of one lemon to the chicken--YUM!
Wednesday: Sheet Pan Sticky Pomegranate Chicken and Honey Roasted Squash served over rice.
Thursday: Crockpot Chicken Meatballs with Creamy Orzo (I'll use arborio rice rather than orzo to make is gluten-free, as well as chicken stock rather than white wine)
Friday: Date Night!
Saturday: If there's anything left from this week's menu, it's on the plate tonight!
Sunday: Making this delicious White Chicken Chili for a family party. Some tips for this chili--heat the cream cheese and half the chicken broth in a glass bowl in the microwave for a minute or two, then use the immersion blender to get a nice creamy consistency without lumps. Also, I don't use low-sodium chicken broth and I probably add about 1.5 tsp salt to this recipe. Also, if I have time, I'll roast the onion and peppers.
Here's My Favorite Chili Recipe (the key to this recipe is to double, if not triple, the salt). I also find it most flavorful if I make it the day before. Make sure to serve with shredded cheese and sour cream!
