OK my plan last week was a bit too industrious. We ended up putting off the Dal burgers because they are really labor intensive and we're having them today instead. I roasted the eggplant and cooked the lentils in preparation.
First things first: Review of last week's recipes.
Vegetarian taco "meat:" I got 3 lunches out of this, will get another 2-3 this week too. It is filling, yummy and low-cal. next time I will add some salt though, I forgot and it showed.
Chicken Marsala - this was really good! But the only reason I was able to make it was because I was home with a sick toddler. It took a while because of mushroom cleaning/cutting, chicken trimming, dredging and cooking, sauce prep and thickening, noodle cooking, etc. Things that could be adapted to OAWC: cut up all of the mushrooms in advance, trim the chicken (the husband would prefer breasts to thighs in the future) and cook the noodles/pasta or whatever we're serving it with. The dish could easily be adapted to a crock pot as well.
Grilled haddock - we ended up having this with grilled potatoes which were GREAT. We sprinkled some salt and pepper on some medium white potatoes and skewered them with metal skewers. The husband grilled the heck out of them at really high temp until they were all burned and charred on the outside but lovely and yummy inside.
Our takeout night was salads with chicken and a side of yummy breadsticks. For anyone in the Western New York area - try Say Cheese Pizza for takeout!
This week's plan:
Sunday: Vegetarian Dal Burgers with spinach salads
Monday: Pasta with wilted spinach and ricotta sauce
Tuesday: Spinach mozzarella meatloaf, grilled potatoes, steamer veggies
Wednesday: Dinner at Grandma's
Thursday: Ground Turkey Chimichangas - previously on this blog here.
OAWC PREP:
Meatloaf (store in baking pan with press-n-seal in the fridge)
Ground Turkey Chimi filling (can be made in advance and stored in the fridge)
Everything else is easy-peasy day-of prep.
