It has been a while since I took the time to post an installment of my
What's Cookin'? series! I had to do some early planning this week because I am giving our nieces (ages 11 and 13) a cooking lesson on Saturday. I'm teaching them how to make Chicken Parmesan and sending them home with a recipe so they can make it for their families. We'll see if I can make an impression on the next generation's appreciation for the culinary arts...
At any rate, I have - as usual -
planned our meals for the upcoming week in advance. This week is different only in that I am actually posting it for all the world to see (or at least my handful of readers). Here's what will be cooking in my kitchen over the next few days:
Chicken, Rice & Refried Bean Burritos w/ Lettuce, Tomatoes & Cheddar-Jack Cheese
Polish Sausage, Potato & Onion Pierogies & Creamy Coleslaw
Eggs in a Rye Bread Frame, Hash Brown Potatoes w/ Sausage & Cheddar-Horseradish Sauce
Chicken Parmesan, Bow-Tie Pasta w/ Butter & Garlic & Tossed Salad
Bacon, Egg & Cheese "Boats" & Hash Brown Potatoes
Lamb Meatballs, Rice Pilaf w/ Toasted Walnuts & Oven-Roasted Asparagus
Chicken-Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes/Sweet Potatoes & Turnip/Mustard/Collard Greens w/ Bacon
Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches on Toasted Garlic Rolls, French Fries & Mixed Greens Salad
Homemade Macaroni & Cheese & Oven-Roasted Broccoli/Cauliflower/Carrot Medley
Homemade Ravioli Filled w/ Ground Veal & Ricotta in Garlic-Butter Sauce & Mixed Greens Salad
Asian Sesame Marinated Sirloin Tip Steak, Steamed White Rice & Broccoli Spears w/ Garlic
It feels good to post my menu again...really,
I will try to do it more regularly! Once in a while I've had requests for the recipes for dishes I've listed in my What's Cookin'? series. While I am very flattered, the fact is that most of the time I don't use recipes - except for baking, of course. My cooking tends to be of the "off the top of my head" variety. This week, however, since I need to write up a recipe to give our nieces, I will post my Chicken Parmesan recipe, so stay tuned if you want an easy, yet impressive recipe.
The part that may or may not get done is fleshing them out into tasty sounding meals to be posted on my blog. Oh, then it's easy to put them on our shared google calendar so Scott can see at a glance what's for dinner.
If it doesn't make it to my blog, it doesn't get on our calendar, so there's my motivation!
