Menus

[nwhiker]

I'm going to have to admit that my menus are just going to remain like this, uninspired and boring, for the time to come. I did make a variation on this version of jeera aloo this week and it was quite good and went well with the fake tandoori chicken.

If I can, I want to make this on Sunday: Dijon and Cognac beef stew this weekend. Perry doesn't like mustard, so he may protest, but, eh, I'm tired of making the same stuff.

Wednesday: chicken enchiladas (with olives, yum!)


Thursday: baked potatoes, broccoli cheese, sautéed mushrooms


Friday: chicken breast, roasted potatoes, green beans


Saturday: matar paneer, naan, roasted cauliflower


Sunday: Dijon-Cognac beef stew, noodles, probably more green beans


Monday: spaghetti with meat sauce and mushrooms.


Tuesday: leftovers



If my kids protest pasta on Sunday AND Monday, I will point out to them that they are more than willing to ear ramen day in day out, so they can lump it. Heh.

Inspired by you, one of my goals for this year is to plan meals ahead of time. That jeera aloo is intriguing!

Some of my go-to entree recipes from NYT:
* roasted hake with sweet peppers (Z wants us eating more fish. I don't use hake, and only put olives on half since i don't like olives)
* Cuban pork tenderloin (T calls it "pork from tenderloy" - long story)
* oven-roasted chicken shawarma

M, T, & Z like chicken wings (I do not) - he found a recipe where you cook them in crock pot on low for 8 hours then finish with sauce under the broiler. Trader Joe's sells a bag of 3 lbs frozen wings and he uses that.

Not an entree: sweet potatoes with oven baked feta, from _Sirocco_ cookbook. The baked feta is what makes this dish imho.
