 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!
