March 14th - March 20th

Some great sales coming up this next week at Publix - Remember the sale starts on Thursday. Center Cut Pork Rib Chops will be on sale for $3.49/lb which makes it a good time for Margarita Pork Chops - yummm!  Another great sale is the Sirloin Tip Roast for $3.99/lb - make your favorite roast recipe or try my Garlic Roast Beef Recipe. Bone-in Boston Butt Roast is going to be on sale for $1.99/lb, and with Madison being home for Spring Break we will be eating Pulled Pork. She loves it and hasn't had that in a long time, so I'm happy for the sale on the roast.  Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Cutlets are going on sale for $3.99/lb. That is a good price and they will make quick work of the new Chicken Parmigiana recipe I posted on the blog this week. They are already thin and ready to be breaded!

Feb 21, 2013

February 21st - February 27th


Madison is coming home TODAY and spending the weekend here! She has an appointment with the oncologist on Friday. I'm so happy we'll get to see her and spend time with her this weekend, but I wish she didn't have to make that long drive for an oncology appointment. Kind of a bummer, but we'll make the best of it. The appointment should just be routine to establish her as a patient so she can be monitored for recurrence of the melanoma. We are already planning to enjoy an early lunch before her appointment. I have a coupon for Outback, so that will be a nice treat (now I just have to remember to print the darn coupon)!! 

Next weekend she is riding in the Regional Finals show at her college. She pointed out of her division this year, which makes her eligible to move on as an individual to compete against others in the region who pointed out as well.  We'll be there cheering her on!!  I know she is still in pain at the site of her recent surgeries, so I'm hoping that subsides for her before the show next weekend. She's a tough cookie and will tough it out either way, I'm sure :o)

Because I'll be gone, I won't have a menu for next week, but I'll try to take a look at the Publix sale flyer and make some suggestions on the Facebook page. Be sure to like the page for those updates!



Thursday - Stir Fry Pork with Rice - I'll be posting this recipe on the blog this week with some changes, but it is great as it is. The first time I made it there were NO leftovers! Don pigged out! This go around I will plate it for the picture before I let him anywhere near it!
Friday - Chicken Pot Pie
Saturday - Burgers with Caramelized Onions, Sauteed Mushrooms, and Fontina Cheese (see recipe below) with baked french fries  
Sunday - Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs (see recipe below and be sure to prepare a day or 2 before you are ready to use) with Rice Pilaf
Monday - leftovers
Tuesday - leftovers
Wednesday - Roasted Chicken Breasts with a garden salad

Burgers with Caramelized Onions, Sauteed Mushrooms, and Fontina Cheese: Caramelized onions take about 45 mins. You need to cook these slow, but they are worth it! Cut 2 sweet onions in 1/2, peel, and slice thin. Melt 3 tablespoons butter over mid high heat and add the onions. Stir until they begin to brown. Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook and stir. The onions will begin to brown and might stick a little to the pan. Keep stirring. Eventually you will notice they will  begin to release their juices. Keep stirring and scraping up browned bits in pan until the onions are soft, brown, and delicious - about 45 mins. For mushrooms, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cover and let cook until mushrooms release their juices - about 5-7 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until they are softened and juicy. Ground chuck is on sale this week at Publix so pick up about 1 lb (makes 4) and mix it with some salt, pepper, & garlic powder and form into patties. Sear these in a hot pan for about 5 mins on each side (cooking time will vary depending on thickness). Assemble burgers on buns with caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms and a slice of Fontina cheese. Melt the cheese and enjoy!

Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs: Combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup butter, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/6 cup mustard (I use yellow mustard, but you can use whatever you prefer), and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until you have a smooth sauce. Allow to cool.  Once sauce is cooled, place chicken in resealable freezer bag (gallon sized), and pour sauce over chicken. Freeze until ready to use. When ready to use, thaw just long enough to remove the contents from the bag. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the frozen chicken and sauce in an ungreased 13x9 casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes. Separate chicken into a single layer with the meaty side up and bake for another 30 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over so the meaty side is down and bake another 45 minutes until the sauce is browned and thickened. Prepare the rice pilaf during the last cooking time.

July 19th - July 22nd


My menu is abbreviated this week. I'm going out of town! My allrecipes.com Allstar trip is HERE! I'm not excited at all...haha  

I have been volunteering with allrecipes.com for a year now as an Allstar Ambassador.  This year is allrecipes.com 15th birthday celebration, and they are flying the ambassadors out to Seattle for the celebration. There are about 70 of us going from all over the country! It is going to be a whirlwind trip, but tons of fun! and I'm so excited to meet all of my fellow ambassadors in person!

Madison is going with me, and we are getting there a few days prior to the birthday festivities. We have never been to Washington state before, and we have some exploring to do! We are going to spend 2 days on Mt. Rainier hiking and exploring before we head into the city. We plan to eat our way through Seattle, but it is okay because we also plan to do A LOT of walking!

Happy Birthday allrecipes.com!!

Thursday - Creamed Chicken with Rice (see recipe below)

Friday - Garlicky Pork Stir-fry (I already have all the ingredients on hand for this, so if you plan to make it - be sure to add the ingredients to the grocery list)


Sunday - Baked Ziti

note: I chose these recipes this week to have lots of leftovers so Don won't starve next week while Madison and I are out of town. I am going to package up individual servings he can just take out of the fridge and pop in the microwave!  So I imagine there will be enough leftovers from this menu to get you through the rest of the week.  Also, I won't be posting a menu next week (July 26th - August 1st) as I won't be back in town until Sunday, and I expect to be exhausted...in a good way!!

Then slice the chicken and add it to the cream mixture.  Serve over cooked rice.

June 28th - July 4th



Thursday - Spaghetti and Meatballs with a garden salad.  Gia Russa Pasta Sauce is on the BOGO Free sale.  This is my favorite jarred sauce. I usually make my own, but when this is on sale I snatch it up because it is on the expensive side typically.  This sauce is lower in carbs than most and has a great flavor - try it and let me know what you think!  Muellers Pasta is also on the BOGO Free sale!  You can also pick up a fresh  baguette for just $1 at the bakery!  They are on sale 10 for $10, but you can buy just one!


Friday - Blackened Tuna Steaks with Mango Salsa and a salad.  I have not tested this recipe, but it has a lot of great reviews. I really want to incorporate more fish in our diet, so I'm going for it. Tuna Steaks are on sale this week at Publix. Hopefully this will be a fish recipe I can eat - I'm not a fan of the fishy stuff. I'll let you know how we like it.  Mangoes are on sale too! NOTE: I usually like to make a recipe exactly as stated the first time, but I fear the heat in this dish might be a little much for me, so I am going to reduce the cayenne by 1/2 and probably the paprika too - then I'll taste it and make any necessary adjustments according to my tastes. Avocados are on sale, so I will add one to the salsa (I LOVE Avocados). I am also going to halve this recipe to serve just 2 people (I don't want leftovers in case we don't like it)


Saturday - Date night! 

SundayLondon Broil with a garden salad.  
London Broil is not a tender cut of meat by any stretch of the imagination, however, if you marinate it overnight and cut it thin enough (I use an electric knife for this), you can have a nice low-carb meal at a great price. It is on sale this week for $3.99/lb, so I'm going to pick some up and marinate it in Italian Dressing (A vinaigrette type dressing - not the creamy kind. I usually buy whatever is on sale - Kraft is on the BOGO Free sale this week).  


Directions
On Saturday (or the day before you plan to make this) score the meat by making diagonal slits about 1/8-1/4 inch deep across the top of the steak (depending on how thick your steak is) - then make a 2nd set of diagonal slits to make crisscross diamond shapes. Turn over and repeat this scoring technique. Place in a large glass container; salt and pepper generously on both sides and pour about 1/2 - 3/4 cup of dressing on the meat. Turn to coat well.  Let marinate in the fridge overnight.


I always like to let meat come to room temp before cooking to ensure it cooks evenly throughout, so I take this out of the fridge  a couple hours before I plan to make it. There are several ways you can prepare this steak, but you should always cook it hot and fast to a maximum of mid-rare for optimum flavor.  First things first - throw out the marinade. I generally like to sear it in a very hot oven-safe pan (coated with a little olive oil). Sear for 1-2 minutes on both sides and then place in a pre-heated 425 degree (F) oven for about 5 minutes - longer for a thicker cut of meat. Remove from pan and let rest for 10 minutes (on a plate or cutting board) and then slice as thinly as possible on the bias (crosswise at a 45 degree angle).  If you don't feel you have a pan large enough  you can also broil it on high, but searing first is great for adding flavor. Broil usually 5-7 mins each side depending on the thickness of the cut.  Remember when broiling to always leave your oven door ajar and turn the exhaust fan on high. No matter how you cook it be sure you have your instant-read thermometer on hand to check the temp. I cook this between 120 and 125 degrees (F) and let rest for 10 mins. I prefer closer to the 120 degree temp. Grilling is an excellent way to cook this as well!  
NOTE: Make up a chimichurri sauce early in the day and it will pair nicely with this! (Be sure to add the ingredients to the shopping list if you plan for this)



MondayBBQ Chicken Sandwiches and Coleslaw.  Love these Sandwiches! I don't like the coleslaw in the recipe. I stick with our fave Sweet Restaurant Slaw!  Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce is on the BOGO Free sale this week, so pick up 2 of them and keep one in the pantry. We LOVE the sweet and spicy sauce!


Tuesday - This is definitely going to be a leftover night for us so nothing goes to waste. We will have plenty of leftovers in the fridge this week I'm sure.


Fourth of July Wednesday - I haven't discussed holiday plans with Don yet, so I'm not sure what we are doing for the 4th, but with the sales this week I would suggest buying the pork spareribs for 1.99/lb and making slow cooker bbq ribs and coleslaw.  If the weather cooperates and you really want to get outside and bbq, ground chuck is on sale - so burgers are the obvious choice - I would go with the Guacamole Cilantro Lime Burger because they have SO much flavor, and I think I've decided they are my fave! Ball Park Beef Franks are on the BOGO Free sale this week too and hot dog buns are on sale in the bakery!  and Sweet Georgia Corn on the Cob is on sale 12 for $3 (remember you don't have to buy 12 pieces to get the sale price. If you buy just 4 pieces of corn it will be just $1, 8 pieces will be $2, see where I'm going here...)  


NOTE:  If you are using the grocery list on here, be sure to add what you need for your 4th of July celebration.  Don't forget dessert! These cupcakes are da bomb!

It was a great week having Madison home!  We made a bunch of stuff while she was here and took lots of pictures to share on the blog. I can't wait to get all those posts done and published!

She's off to work in Canada until the end of July!
Publix has summer vegetables on a really great sale this week along with Tilapia, Ground Round and Shrimp!  Have a great week!

Saturday - Guacamole Cilantro Lime Cheeseburger with chips and fresh salsa (add fresh garlic to this salsa recipe and I am only using 3 serranos - that is plenty hot. Don't forget to remove the seeds before chopping!) For the guacamole I use 2 avocados, garlic and salt to taste, and 1/2 a lime. I mash it all together and put in the fridge for several hours or overnight. 
Sunday - Garlicky Pork Stir-Fry (see recipe below - it's another one of our faves!)
Monday - California Grilled Vege Sandwich and fries

Place cubed pork into a ziploc bag with 1/2 cup cornstarch and shake to coat. Heat oil in a large skillet over mid-high heat.

Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, pepper flakes and sugar and add to skillet. Stir-fry until veges are tender to your liking. (Pork should be cooked through at this time, but always check to make sure it is just slightly pink in the center of thickest piece). Serve over rice or noodles.
