Meal Planning: Week of July 27th

Review from last week:

Friday night was 'zaw pizza and butter lettuce/pistachio salad with Kristin and Craig!


Saturday night was the XO dinner at Rachel's house: chicken skewers, beet salad, Chinese chop salad and Caprese salad (made with peaches - my new favorite)!
 




Sunday was grilled Tandoori chicken, mashed sweet potatoes and spinach salad with goat cheese, walnuts and a Dijon vinaigrette.


This creamy chicken and kale soup was okay - very healthy, but just okay.  I really did like the technique of making this soup "creamy", which was blending olive oil, chopped onion and chicken stock.  I think I will use this base for other soups in the future - perhaps a take on Italian Wedding Soup.


On Tuesday we had the most delicious dinner (and relaxing evening) with Denali, Kyle and Oliver!  They made 5-spice pork kabobs and rice, and for dessert: Donut shortcake.  Denali works for Top Pot - and not only did she come up with this amazing dessert, she sent us home with a box of donuts.  !!!!!!!!!!!
 

Flank and salad:

Mixed up the meal plan and made this Feta + Basil Lentil salad on Thursday.  So good!  This gal's cookbook is going on my wish list.

 

Tonight we are having the salsa chicken (and a big, fat Margarita - FRIDAY)!

Plan for next week:

Saturday: Greg is out of town for his friend's 40th birthday in Leavenworth.  My mom and I are taking Ben out for dinner and a movie :)

Sunday: Butter Chicken

Monday: Tomato Basil Soup and Spring Green Salad with Lemon Feta Dressing.

Tuesday: Leftovers (I'll be at a staff meeting/dinner).

Wednesday: Blue Apron Meal: Cod & Miso Soba Noodles with Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes & Eggplant

Thursday: Blue Apron Meal: Chicken Milanese with Summer Corn, Tomato and Cucumber Salad.

Friday morning we are headed to the beach for the weekend to celebrate Becca and Jess's wedding!  Looking forward to a weekend away with friends!
