Kirsten's Random Utterances: Dinner Plan: 6/7/10

Weekly Dinner Plan

Monday: Maple-mustard barbequed pork chops, couscous, salad

This week I will actually make this meal, instead of “forgetting” to take out the pork and ordering Thai instead.

Tuesday: Oven-baked “fried” chicken, salad, rice

I love this chicken- so simple, it's become one of my “go-to” recipes. BTW, making brown rice in chicken broth makes it very flavorful and eliminates the need for butter and salt!

Wednesday: Ravioli, salad

Pasta Prima's Chicken and Mozzarella Ravioli has been sitting in my freezer, waiting patiently to be made, and my mother-in-law sent us home with a yummy marinara that she just made on Sunday. Perfecto!

Thursday: Chicken Tandori, red potatoes, salad

This recipe comes from Food Network Magazine (May issue, p.75). The article is entitled “Weeknight Cooking,” so it'll probably be nice and easy, plus it's only 9 grams of fat. Woohoo! The recipe is also online: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/chicken-tandoori-recipe/index.html

Friday: Chicken burgers

These are pre-made from the butcher, and they are so delicious. We haven't had them in a long time!

Saturday: BBQ

We have not yet decided what we're going to have, but it will be on the grill!
