Menu Monday

Eric and I have been eating horribly it feels like lately, so I sat down this morning and planned out our menu for the week and am going to run to the grocery this morning. Yay for perks of working from home!

Sunday - We didn't have much in the kitchen, but Eric whipped up some turkey sausage and egg breakfast tacos and that did the trick! He sauteed some onions and garlic, then browned the turkey sausage and then cooked it all together with the eggs and then added some monterrey jack cheese. We served them on corn tortillas with salsa and they were quite the yummy, quick little dinner!

Monday - Gingery Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes - I printed this recipe off earlier this year from a Real Simple email and have not done anything with it. We have some new potatoes sitting around that need to be used up, so this asian inspired dish should be pretty tasty!

Tuesday - Chicken and White Bean Enchiladas with Creamy Salsa Verde - This a healthy version of enchiladas from Gina's Skinny Recipes. We had a lot of the ingredients on hand, so I think this will be good!

Wednesday - Chicken Francese - Another Gina's Skinny Recipes that sounds good! I will have to figure out a side. Maybe Eric can make his risotto!

Thursday - Tortellini Soup from the Tasty Kitchen Blog. It is supposed to be chilly on Thursday and I have a Stella & Dot trunk show that evening, so this is an easy throw together meal without a lot of prep.

I am making banana bread today from Elizabeth Ann's Recipe Box because I have a bunch of bananas that are about to get to the point where even I won't eat them, and if you know me, you know they must be quite ripe.

Allright - I am off the the store and then I gotta get some work done today!!

Menu Monday

Sorry for the lack of posts! Eric and I have been gone to California on our one year anniversary trip! We started in San Francisco, drove down Highway 1 to Monterey, and then continued down the central coast to San Simeon. I plan on doing lots of blog posts on our west coast adventures, but that would require me to get the pictures off my camera and picking out which photos out of like 500 to use! Since we definitely over indulged while on our trip on food and drink, we are back on the eating at home healthy train this week! Yesterday, I sat down with my recipes and picked out what we would be cooking for this week. I have seen people post their menu for the week on Mondays on their blogs before, so I thought I would try it too. If one turns out a winner, I will let you know!

Sunday
Swedish Meatballs from Gina's Skinny Recipes - We made these last night and they were so good!

Monday
Tamale Casserole from Spaghetti with Sprinkles

Tuesday
Creamy Pork Saute from the back of a Campbell's Cream of Celery can. I have made this before and it was really good!

Wednesday
Cod with Tomato-Fennel Salsa from a Weight Watchers cook book - We are having friends Brittany and Dave over, so I hope they like it!

Thursday
Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken from My Favorite Flavors

Stay tuned for some California posts!! I got the pictures of the camera at lunch today... Here are some Ollie pics from lunch just for fun! He always get so sad and serious when he knows I am about to leave.
