This week I have 2 new recipe's I am giving a whirl and I am pretty excited about them.
Sunday: Sausage and Polenta Pies (New recipe)
Via Better Homes and Gardens |
Monday: Pork Loin Stir Fry
I happen to have these pork loin chops in the freezer that I portioned when we bought them - so I can just thaw what we need.
I usually just dig around for veggies in the fridge - and land on onion, bell pepper, and carrots. This week I grabbed a little bag of snow peas at the market to add some variety.
For the sauce I whisk up rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce or sirachi, and honey. If you have any ginger you can throw that in as well.
Here is a really old post about throwing that together Here.
Tuesday: Spicy Bean and Rice Burritos (New Recipe)
Usually Lee is all "Where is the meat?" This time, though, he agreed to try it.
Wednesday: Stuffed Shells
I made these a few weeks or so ago and everyone really really enjoyed them. I use low fat ricotta and lean or low fat pork sausage to give it a healthier edge. Serve with a salad and you have a winner.
Thursday: I have a cooking class at Sur La Table so Lee is either having leftovers (if there are any) or a good ole ham sandwich.
Friday: Out!
How about you? Do you menu plan or just wing it?

Tiff and I were just talking about how we plan out menus too. I've been in such a rut lately that I may copy a few of these!
I definitely meal plan, it makes life so much easier...plus I *think* I spend less at the grocery store that way. And pinterest is my go to place for new things, particularly chicken recipes for some reason. Haha!
My menu planning consists of which city I am in. Poor Dave fends for himself. I think he has an opening for a week day wife though. :)
