Re: Meal Plan Monday 3/19

  • We've got some Hellofresh and Blue Apron meals planned for this week:

    HF- Meatballs on top of cavatappi
    HF- Blackened catfish (subbing salmon) with potatoes and summer veggies
    BA- Persian style chicken and crispy rice

    We'll likely have leftovers somewhere along the line too. Had HF beef tacos with guacamole last night - H totally kicked butt making these!

  • We're doing ribs and a side salad tonight. Maybe some roasted potatoes as well. Turkey breast and roasted veggies later this week. I forget what else we bought.

  • @nlc8424 we’re trying hello fresh for the first time this week!
    Maple chicken thighs with sweet potatoes 
    Slow cooker stuffed peppers 

    Tonight was a fend for yourself kind of evening. There’s chicken sausage fennel soup in the fridge, so my husband had a salami sandwich for dinner
  • I'm feeling better these days, but still not 100%. Still having aversions to some foods. Meat and raw onions are a couple that come to mind. 

    For this week we're making:
    -Shepherd's pie
    -Roasted veggie burritos (MH loves these and was so happy I was up to eating them this week) https://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/09/roasted-vegetable-burritos/
    -Lentil veggie salad https://www.skinnytaste.com/lentil-salad/
  • @SkilledSailor Thanks! MH is happy to have me back in the kitchen :D He will definitely be making a few of those meals though! That soup sounds yummy - do you have a recipe?

    @jaylii Those burritos sound delicious! I saved that recipe to make sometime soon  :)

    @southernlady07 I do! I love that it's getting passed on. I originally found it when someone shared it on TTGP. I substitute vegetarian ingredients, which I can share if anyone is interested.


    Zuppa Toscana

    Yield: 7 servings

    Ingredients

    1  2 tbsp. organic beef tallow

    2  1 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed

    3  1 large onion, chopped

    4  3 cloves garlic, minced (Use my favorite garlic press to speed things up!)

    5  1 tbsp. Italian seasoning

    6  1 tsp. crushed red pepper, or more to taste if you're brave!

    7  6 c. chicken broth (homemade, or try this organic free range, lower sodium chicken broth)

    8  7 medium red potatoes (about 2.5-3 lbs.), coarsely chopped (and unpeeled, if you choose!)

    5 oz. fresh kale, chopped. Frozen works fine, too.

    10          13.5 oz. can full fat coconut milk (My recipe originally called for only 8 oz. of coconut milk. I changed it to the full 13.5 oz. can because it is creamier this way! It does give it the very slightest hint of coconut. If you want to avoid the hint of coconut, lower it to 8 oz.)_

    Salt and pepper, to taste

     

    11          In a large stock pot or Dutch Oven, melt the beef tallow. Read my update above on how to get healthy, organic kitchen staples online at reasonable prices.

    12          Add the Italian sausage and cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned.

    13          Add the onion, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.

    14          Saute 3 minutes.

    15          Add the garlic.

    16          Stir for 1 minute.

    17          Add the chicken broth and potatoes.

    18          Bring your soup to a boil.

    19          Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes.

    20          Add the kale and coconut milk and simmer an additional 5 minutes until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork and kale is tender.

    Add salt and pepper to taste.

  • @SkilledSailor Thanks for sharing!! What kind of "sausage" do you use? I was thinking Italian Field Roast would be yummy :yum:

  • @southernlady07 Oh that would be good! I've been using Tofurkey's Italian sausage, just because my local HT carries it. 
  • Monday: shredded chicken sandwiches, coleslaw, sweet potato fries
    Tuesday:  veggie noodle spaghetti with ground turkey meatballs
    Wednesday: egg, cheese and spinach breakfast wraps with fruit salad
    Thursday: take out
    Friday: kabobs on the grill, kale salad

    a lot of this is not really cooking, it is assembling :)
