We're trying Blue Apron this month ! Tonight's meal is Cod with arugula, beets and carrots. Hopefully this helps us eat healthier and gives us more variety! I'm excited to cook again.
Making lentils with onion and garlic and chicken broth then throwing in spinach, ground turkey and feta on top. Probably adding a lot of hot sauce afterwards, too. Never made this before, but Im just trying to use what I have in the house and be healthy at the same time. Should be interesting.
@HMcDade1 I love blue apron. My husband thinks it is a waste of money, but I like that it gets us out of our normal cycle of foods. I would probably like it even more if this was a meat eating household!
I just put an herb-basted turkey breast in the oven. I'm going to make mashed red garlic potatoes and a salad. I already made cinnamon banana bread today. Whatever got into me, I dunno.
Fried chicken, roasted sweet potatoes and salad. Our last blue apron meal of the week. Oh and if I find the time I'm making banana bread either tonight or tomorrow!
Tonight were here having pork ribeye with a jalapeño balsamic sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans. And I'm treating myself to Peach Bellini flavored sparkling water, pretending it's something with vodka.
@elenabrent They are my favourite lazy dinner (and since I'm moving this week is brought to you by the lazy dinner). I use a bread I like a lot, pizza sauce, whatever cheese I fancy- usually an old cheddar, minced garlic, spinach, pepperoni and goat cheese. Wrap them in tinfoil and toss in the oven for 20 min so they are gooey and slightly toasty. Other pizza topping are amazing but that tends to be my default
This is my favorite springy/summery meal. We usually eat it with tortillas. One can of drained corn, one can of rinsed black beans, one avocado, some Vidalia onion, several grape tomatoes, and I fake a "honey lime dressing" by whisking some honey and lime juice together with a little hot sauce. Salt/pepper/garlic to taste. You can add vegetables like cucumbers or other things like cilantro to taste. It's awesome because it only takes about 10 minutes to make, then you can let it sit in the fridge for a bit so the flavors can meld.
I've been feeling fancy the last couple days so here have been our dinners and my culinary adventures. Thyme, orange, and stone ground mustard crusted lamb chops. Served it with roasted Brussel sprouts and Parmesean cous cous.
Today I made a batch of spring rolls stuffed with blackened chicken, pineapple, spinach, basil, cabbage, and carrot. I made a peanut satay sauce to dip them in.
tonight is leftover "drunken spaghetti" (based off of Rachel ray recipe). I use thin spaghetti cooked in half red wine/half water (instead of just all water). Then I mix the cooked spaghetti with one cup reserved pasta wine/water, pan seared pancetta, garlic, and kale, and season it with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Top that stuff of will fresh pecorino romano cheese and voila! A Rachel Ray recipe that is actually done in under 30 minutes! Sad part is I tried to give my son a kid-friendly version (plain noodles with butter and parmesan cheese) and he didn't like it. Maybe because of the wine flavor? Anyways, I guess he gets to eat leftover grilled chicken and corn. Yay for leftover night!
@Weville that sounds amazing, but I'm a little disappointed because I was imagining sandwiches with pizza slices instead of bread and I was really excited about the possibilities.......
DD ate a ton (half my dinner), so second dinner was - Tortilla chips with white tuna salad and pico de gallo that we took home from a restaurant yesterday.
Tonight I'm keeping it simple with chicken Caesar wraps (grilled chicken, Caesar dressing, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, and red onion all in a wrap), root veggie chips, and pineapple.
Beef stew last night but I deglazed the pan with some sherry and it was SO good. Need some ideas for tonight, chicken caesar something sounds good now!
was planning on doing pan-seared pork chops with steamed asparagus tonight, but my morning sickness came back with a vengeance last night/today! Now nothing sounds good and all I want to do is take a nap. Hopefully everyone is cool with DQ blizzards for dinner.

I currently have ketchup, eggs, sliced american, random veggies. I think the most likely scenario will be a omelet.
