Dinner Menu Week Thirty

July 31, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I’ve gotta be honest with you. I don’t have the time or energy to reinvent the wheel this week. So we’re going with a bunch of oldies but goodies, and quick and simple meals. We’re actually taking off on Monday to stay in a cabin for much of the week,which always throws things off a bit.

Dinner Menu Week 30

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT:

Chicken Spinach Penne Bake

Recipe here.

Blackbean Quinoa Chili

We often have some of this already made in the freezer, which is super handy to just pull out the night before and thaw. If you don’t have any, you can get the recipe here.

Foil Pocket Salmon, Artichokes, Risotto

Start the artichokes, recipe here. Then put your salmon in a piece of foil. Lay some fresh herbs on top (parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, etc.), sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Fold it up into a pocket and cook on the grill for just about 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile cook up the risotto. We use the frozen ones from Trader Joe’s.

Build Your Own Pizza

I like to do this to use up small bits and pieces of food we have left over in the fridge, much like this Spinach, Mushroom, Pesto Pizza.

Quinoa Chili Enchiladas

Roll some of the leftover chili in corn tortillas. Layer in a baking dish. Smother in enchilada sauce (from a jar or can is great) and grated cheese. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

Grilled Chicken, Steak Fries, Caprese

Marinate some breasts and thighs overnight in your favorite dressing. While they’re grilling, make the steak fries and caprese salad.

Baked Mac and Cheese

Recipe here from Real Food Real Life.
