So my meal planning has become a biweekly routine and I feel lost if I haven't done it. I suppose that is a good thing, but it can also be very stressful. Self-inflicted of course. This time I thought I would share some more recipes with you...from my menu this week. Some I have tried, some I will be trying.
Recipes I've Tried, and Love....
Chicken and Cheese Enchilada Chowder- from Taste and Tell
This is my friend Deborah's very successful recipe blog...and this chowder is by far one of my favorite recipes of hers. We tried it by chance, and it has quickly become a staple in our home (in fact, Andy is eating some for lunch as I type this).
BBQ Chicken Pizza - from Cooking Light
I shared this recipe before on my blog, and still make it on occasion. We LOVE homemade pizza!
The only difference with this recipe is that I usually use a homemade crust...you can find it here.
Sweet Potato Fries - from Our Best Bites
Not only are sweet potatoes good for you, but these are baked...so I pretty much consider them guilt free (aside from the Fry sauce I make to dip them in, hehe) We love these!
Cobb Salad - from MyKitchenCafe
Minus the blue cheese, I love Cobb salad! I keep it pretty simple with chicken, avocado, turkey bacon, egg, tomato and maybe even a little black bean. Top with homemade ranch and you have a YUMMY dinner. Serve with these breadsticks and your life will be complete, for a moment at least!
Recipes I Can't Wait to Try...
Mini Cheese Meat loafs- from Taste and Tell
I am NOT a fan of meatloaf. I put this on my 2 week menu with a little bit of skepticism...but I figured I probably haven't had it in 15 years, so I might as well give it a shot. Another reason I decided to try it is because Deborah said her husband hated meatloaf, and he ate every last bite of these...that gives me a little motivation to give it a shot!
Turkey and Spinach Lasagna - from Tasty Kitchen
This may sound a little presumptuous, but if I could...I may just replace all ground beef with ground turkey. Ok, maybe not ALL...but I am really excited to try this recipe. For some reason it just sounds delish!
Fiesta Chicken Tacos with Mango and Jicama Salad- from Taste and Tell
I've already decided that if I can't find the Jicama, I am going to make this mango salsa...and maybe just serve it with this cilantro lime rice. mmmmm.
I have discovered that the dinner possibilities are endless! Now if I could just figure out what to make for lunches I would be set! Enjoy!
