Menu #4 of 2012

With the kitchen renno underway these last few weeks our eating schedule has been less than routine. We are now at the point that we only have the flooring left (Hello, Home Depot, any day now?!!) and so the dining room table is clear and we can cook in the kitchen.

In the last two week menu Brandon and I seemed to have a hard time taking meat out of the freezer in the morning and so we have a few carryovers from the last menu. It seems like this is a pretty typical thing for us. For one of the night's Brandon couldn't find the recipe and so he made us a new recipe out of an existing cookbook for sweet-n-sour pork. It was delicious. He did a great job. The Greens & Grains Torta that we tried? Not so hot. It was everything I could do to keep a straight face eating it while the kids gagged it down. Needless to say, that one went directly to the trash.

Here are is the new menu. Like always, if you would like a recipe let me know. I promise I will try to be better at getting them to you right away. I've started a Reedy Family Cookbook and am creating an online document to keep our recipes so it will be easier to copy & paste & send!

• Ginger Pork & Broccoli
• BBQ Chicken Quesadillas (new recipe)
• Tortellini Meatball Soup (new recipe)
• Clam Chowder
• Egg Bake
• Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sammies - Jicama slaw (new recipe)
• Creamy Gorgonzola Fettuccine
• Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy - Fried Potatoes - Broccoli & Cauliflower
• Steak Fajitas - Mexican Rice - Refried Beans
• Turkey Chili
• Tuna Melts
• Whole Chicken stuffed with garlic cloves & rosemary - Veggie Rice - Corn
• Beef Wasabi Tacos - Fried Rice (new recipe)
• Olive Garden Chicken Marsala (here's hoping this is close to theirs)

I'm late submitting this so we've already tried the Ginger Pork & Broccoli. It was a good concept but way too overpowering with the soy sauce. There are so many other stir fry's that are better that recipe made its way to the garbage. Tonight we are having Creamy Gorgonzola Fettuccine. This is one of Brandon and I's favorite meals. It is vegetarian which we try to fit in at least once a week and it features garlic roasted asparagus. Yummy!
