Review time! The turkey kebobs were our favorite new recipe of the week. Lots of Asian flavor and the grilled pears were sweet and tastey! Next is the one you all (all 2 of you!) were waiting for - the Hummus Sesame Noodles. This meal was good, but nothing specatacular. It was a little odd having hummus on noodles, but other than that, the flavors were good and the snow peas and green onions gave a nice freshness. I don't think I'll be making it again, though. I much prefer hummus on pita (as you'll see in this week's menu).
We got an impromptu invite to a friend's house for dinner tonight so the Red Rice with Chorizo will roll-over to this week. Until then! :)
Monday - Red Rice Chorizo
Tuesday - Anniversary Dinner - Grilled Steak and Veggies with Cheesey Mashed Potatoes
Wednesday - Portabella "Burgers" with Steak Fries
Thursday - Chilie Lime Cobb Salad
Friday - Middle Eastern Sliders
Saturday - Smothered Bean Burritos
Sunday - Spaghetti and Meatballs

May 25 - 31
As usual I'll kick-off this post with some quick reviews. The Chilie Lime dressing on our Cobb Salad was great! It was so light and refreshing with a kick of spicy. Ari and Keira both loved all the ingredients in the salad so it was a hit all around! The Honey Mustard Lime Chicken Legs were a bit disappointing. Not as much flavor as I'd hoped. Maybe if I double the sauce recipe. The leftovers were turned into our Firecracker Enchilads and were great in there, however. Our pesto came out fantastic and I was able to put the leftovers in the freezer for quick and easy dinners down the road. We still have plenty of basil in the garden so I think I'll get a pesto stock pile going!
Now for this week:
Monday - Tacos
Tuesday - Chicken Stir Fry with Brown Garlic Sauce
Wednesday - Turkey Kebabs
Thursday - Red Rice with Chorizo (actually Soy-rizo. I hope it's good!)
Friday - Ravioli with Tomato Sauce
Saturday - Pizza
Sunday - Hummus Sesame Noodles

Back in the swing of things! Our camping trip was canceled due to flooding of the park so I was able to catch up on some things this weekend. Luckily our camping meals transfered nicely to the BBQ and made for easy fixin's for me :)
I forgot to mention a review in my last post. The Firecracker Enchiladas were great! The chipotle peppers made for a nice smokeyness without being too spicy (much to Keenan's dismay!). Using a rotissere chicken helped with the prep too!
From this past week, the Asian Chicken Wraps were very tastey and a great summery dinner. They have a peanut-lime dressing that brings it all together.
On to this week...
Monday - Chillie Lime Cobb Salad
Tuesday - Honey Mustard Lime Chicken Legs with Rice and veggies
Wednesday - Pesto Chicken Pasta (made with basil from our garden!)
Thursday - Ravioli with Tomato Sauce
Friday - Firecracker Enichiladas with Rice and Beans
Saturday - Chicken and Tofu Stir Fry with Brown Garlic Sauce
Sunday - Burgers and Potato Salad

Postponed
We had an impromtu trip which had us out of town from Thursday until Sunday. Now I have a few carry-overs from last week and a "day off" tomorrow (at least from grocery shopping anyway). It's a good thing since I'm too tired to make a list tonight. I may post our short week menu later this week, but then again maybe not. We'll be leaving again Friday to go camping!
Happy Menu Making! :)
