Week 13, 2010

This week we are going to have meatloaf, a family favorite, roma chicken and salmon. I am going to try tarragon chicken and I have had a request for stuffed shells. I do not have a recipe for stuffed shells, I think the last time I made them I used the recipe on the box. So if any of you have a good recipe I would love it, I would like to try cheese and spinach, but don't know if I can sneak the spinach in, I was thinking in half and then I would have backup of plain cheese without cooking another meal. I am always open to other ideas if you have any secrets that work at your house. Have a great week!

Week 12, 2010

This week we have crockpot fajitas and pork medallions both passed on from other members. And a second recipe for cheeseburger macaroni that is similar to the one we tried a week or two ago, but is slightly different. My philosophy is if you post or give me the recipe I will try it, and truthfully my DH commented again this last week, that he really likes the variety in our meals these days. I am also posting parmesan fish, as we love this and we are trying Teriaki chicken, lucked out that this is a grill recipe and it should be warm enough to grill this week! YEA!
I am looking for more crock pot/slow cooker recipes so please post your family favorites, or you can always email them to me and I will post them as I put them in the menu.
I am also going to try something new in the newsletter to just put the link for the blog in and then you go directly there for the recipes. I am hoping that some of you will comment at the end of the post and offer up ideas of what you are cooking this week, not necessarily the recipes, just some more ideas. (You can do this, by clicking on the word comment at the top of the post for the week and it will allow you to post comments.)
Don't forget the search button on the top of the recipe page, you can type in words, ie chicken, and it will bring up all the recipes pertaining to that word. I am going to be adding more topics such as side dishes, desserts, and triggers like slow cooker/crockpot to make the search feature even better.
Hope everyone has a great week and thanks for reading and participating!

Week 10, 2010 Meal Ideas

Wow, I can't believe this is the 10th week already. Congratulations to Pattyt for winning the Pampered Chef product in the 2nd drawing for February. A special thanks to everyone who has either submitted recipes or just given them to me. I love to cook when it is something new and recommended by friends.

This week I think I must be feeling a little brave as all the recipes are new to our family! One night we are trying fish fingers, oven fried fish sticks (not the kind from a box; lol). This is my quest to add more fish to our lives; and well, my Catholic friends love me since it is Lent. I am always on the lookout for new and yummy fish recipes so if you have any I would love to hear about them.

Also on the menu we are trying sesame-ginger turkey wraps. This is a slow cooker recipe, yea! I think you could easily use either dark or white meat based on your preference and I would also think you could substitute chicken if you prefer. Looks pretty simple to me. I am also trying maple glazed chicken and sweet potatoes. This one looks really easy also. I love maple syrup, as well as, sweet potatoes. Then compliments of our group we are trying Julie's spinach and cheese lasagna and Patty's Cheeseburger macaroni. Thanks ladies for these ideas.

I hope this is inspiring you to making your life easier by planning your meals in advance of the 5 o'clock crunch; I just can not believe I did not make myself do this before. Have a great week. Sherri
