Menu Monday 2/16 and Announcements

by Heather on February 16, 2009

Heather says:

I always look over our schedule when planning out menus, consequently it is also the day that our readers get to hear about upcoming plans and events. My three year old destroyed me computer, which partially explains my recent absence and the lack of recipe updates. Now that I once again have access to my photo editing software things should be getting back to normal. I’m very excited to announce that we begin filming video content for the site </drumroll> tomorrow. Unrelated, we will be mentioned in the May issue of Woman’s Day.  We’re very excited and boring our closest friends to tears.

Onto the menu, Mr. Heather is reaching the point in his diet plan where he can be slightly more flexible with his food choices, which makes my life easier.

Tell me, Home Eccers, what’s on your menu?

  • Monday – Spaghetti with meatballs, Caesar salad
  • Tuesday – Baked chicken (the exact spice combination has yet to be determined), green beans, zucchini and mushrooms
  • Wednesday – Cajun seasoned pot roast, with turnips, onions, & bell peppers, rice and gravy
  • Thursday – C.O.R.N.*
  • Friday – Cioppino, bread
  • Saturday – Pizza night: sauce, crust
  • Sunday – Hoppin’ John, cornbread, collard greens

*Clean Out Refrigerator Night

For the zucchini and mushrooms recipe, what happens if you don't put cornstarch in? Does it kill the recipe? I don't keep cornstarch, but it is because I don't really know how to use it. Thanks!

*doing the Happy Dance* for you, about Woman's Day.

I cooked up all my foods, on my menu, and put them in the freezer. The kids are sick and I think its Wednesday already.

I'm off, to Sam's, to get veggies and salad fixings. Need anything?

I need to come over and learn how to make bread, with you. Srsly. Desperately Srsly.

Oh My! Would you please share your recipe for black bean Harrisa burgers and squash beer soup. They both sound soooo good! Thank you. By the way Heather...congrates on your " mention" in Womens day. I dont normaly buy mags but for this one I will. You are awsome!

Mmmm. Great news about the mention in Woman's Day!

This week at our place should be lovely:

MON: Black bean harissa burgers with blasted broccoli
TUES: Squash beer soup with quesadillas
WED: Catfish (or salmon) tacos with whole wheat tortillas & chipotle slaw
THURS: Homemade pasta with white clam sauce & garlic bread
FRI: Dinner with friends -- Cowboy Chili w/ black-eyed peas, salad, brownies

That is really wonderful about being in Woman's Day. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the upcoming video and Woman's Day mention! (Applause, applause!) Bummer about the computer.

Monday - freezer night - homemade gumbo (frozen) over fresh rice with spinach salad and rye crisps

Tuesday - roast chicken, mashed potatoes, curried carrots

Wednesday - BFD - local sausage links, yogurt pancakes (pancakes made with yogurt instead of milk), fruit compote

Thursday - grilled pork chops, rice with mushrooms and lentils, mixed salad with tomatoes

Friday - baked salmon, citrus+parsley rice, homemade rolls, broccoli

It's two separate items. Cioppino is a seafood soup very popular in California. I am thinking of a crusty, round loaf of plain white bread to dip in the broth.

I have got to know what ciopinno bread is.....it sounds good! Its not the rest of your menu doesnt tho.
