Here's What's New....Straight Off The Chef's Knife!
WEDNESDAY: doesn't this look yummy? Very fall harvest like!- lean
chicken, sweet potatoes, apples, Brussels sprouts & yummy spices- I stumbled
upon it in my fave catalog, Penzey's Spice:) how can you go wrong with the
motto: "Love People, Cook them tasty food"
The
wonder of September begins! School is in session, a change of seasons, football,
cool nights, Indian summer days surrounded by the gorgeousness of the falling
colorful leaves... Add in the crunch a fall stride through the woods, fresh
apple cider and sugary cinnamon crisp donuts- ahhh my all time favorite season-
Autumn!
One more
HOT week is upon us, for sure, though, so we won't be roasting anything in the
oven quite yet this week!
Here's
what we've had and are having for the hectic week FamMenu:
MONDAY:
after a
farewell to "the Cobbage" .... :( it was leftover city USA around
here- buffalo chicken chili, da' bomb dip & tortilla chips.... Then it was
in to bedtime for the school & working' crew!
TUESDAY:we had a freezer/cupboard
clean out meal- I made spaghetti from a few opened, half empty boxes, and
rallied two sets of two different kinds of turkey burgers out of the depths of
the freezer to make a meat sauce, a few herbs and some tomato sauce, and voila,
dinner was served! Rounded out with a delish heirloom tomato & basil -both fresh from the herb garden & my Tonce's garden- salad
and a leftover loaf of Italian bread from the weekend, crisped up under the
broiler.
I'll let
you know if it's a hit!
THURSDAY:
grilled wild caught salmon, with herbs &
honey Dijon drizzle, sautéed organic broccolette &
portabella mushrooms, quinoa pilaf- Christina in particular LOVES quinoa:) (my
cute lil' first grader!)
Friday: pizza of some sort, probably
Papa Murphy's.... AftEr a long day of deliveries, Ant's official first day of
day are, an out of town working week for hubs and a short yet long first week
of school for the other four kiddos, a relaxing night at home is what I am
banking on!:)
Saturday:
Caroline
has been asking if she can make a recipe out of one my plethora of cookbooks- I
think this is the night! Some sweet & sour type meatball recipe from my
KitchenAid cookbook... Will add in some great local finds from the Rockford
Farm Market- will be there from 8am-1pm with Hummus!:)
SUNDAY:
breakfast
for dinner perhaps, pumpkin pancakes with Michigan maple syrup & yummy
streusel, sautéed zestar apples(a GREAT
variety that literally taste like fresh apple cider, yumola), a new Amylu
chicken breakfast sausage- sugar house maple! The label shows a nice short list
of ingredients, no nitrites or nitrates- woohoo!
Hope you
all had a great start to the school year! :)
