FamMenu...

Here's What's New....Straight Off The Chef's Knife!

Ok, so life has been a tad more hectic than usual as of late, so my FamMenu pstings have been far from regular. We will call it sporadic, at BEST!:)
Life is certainly simpler when no one is whining for dinner, and its already been planned! I post FamMenus online, but my goal this week, is to post it on our FamCalendar! I'll take a pic when I accomplish this small goal, I promise!
 So this week has been kind of boring in the creative department, plan to amp that up next week!

MONDAY- we had turkey, kale & brown rice soup, with lots of veggies in it, whole wheat rolls.

TUESDAY-pan seared cod with herbed butter, steamed green beans, roasted Italian style redskin potatoes, bread & butter.

WEDNESDAY- grilled organic chicken thighs  with sautéed mushrooms, BBQ sauce & melted Swiss cheese, brown rice, honey-cinnamon glazed carrots.

THURSDAY-homemade beef chili, cornbread, veggies & dip (homemade ranch- with my herbs that are STILL growing in this crazy weather! The Cilantro is going nuts!)

FRIDAY- pizza & a movie!

SATURDAY- working at the shop- then either out with hubs or easy food- turkey burgers with guacamole, oven baked fries, broccoli salad (he loves this stuff! Broccoli, bacon, sunflower seeds & raisins-classic!)

SUNDAY- PASTA! Sunday Spaghetti & Meatballs, italian bread with pesto sauce, salad of mozzarella, black olives, tomatoes, cannelini beans& red wine vinaigette. Ice cream!

Have a sunny stupendous week!

On the go with a Fam Menu Plan
The one thing that I am constantly asked for is suggestions on how to throw together healthy & quick meals for the Fam (that's seven at our house!).

Artisan Grilled Cheeses with creamy tomato basil soup, grilled honey lime chicken fajitas with fresh guacamole, peppers & onions on corn tortillas', greek style frittata- eggs with spinach, sundried tomatoes & feta cheese- side of fruit & power muffin, pork cutlets with sautéed apples & raspberry balsamic smashed sweet taters, quick herb-grilled fish with couscous & veggies.
