Week 5

This week's menu is all planned out, my meats are all prepped and it should be fairly easy to stay on track.

Sunday & Monday
I also had one dual-cooking day. Today (Sunday) we are having the Portobello mushroom burgers but I also prepared the Chicken Ropa Vieja for tomorrow's chicken tacos. It's a crock pot recipe and when trying new things, I don't like leaving them unattended for the day.

Here is the Chicken Ropa Vieja before and after cooking. It smells divine and took about five minutes to prep.

Tuesday
Asian Turkey Meatballs with Lime Dipping Sauce
Cilantro Rice - this is seriously the best rice ever. I follow these directions, leaving out the lime and cilantro if it doesn't fit the meal. I won't cook rice any other way again.

Wednesday
Clean the fridge/leftover roundup - I hate finding food in the fridge days later so since I'm doing a lot of cooking the first part of the week, we'll use this night to have a free-for-all on the leftovers.

Thursday
Probably pizza for the girls because we have a date to see Tears for Fears

Friday
Greek Feta Zucchini Turkey Burgers

Saturday
Vietnamese Shaking Beef

Sunday
Father's day/our 7th anniversary - TBD
