Re: Thanksgiving week Menus
Today: Soup, lasagna (all from scratch including sauce)
Mon: Red Lentil Dhal with rice, broccoli and curried chicken
Tues: Chilean Quinoa with fiesta steak strips
Wed: Homemade Pizza
Thurs: Turkey day
Fri: Up in the air
Sat: up in the air
Gotta say, this menu planning takes the stress out of cooking and saves us money!
Steak strips:
Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 6 limes)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (10-ounce) boneless sirloin steaks, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups sliced onion
1 cup yellow bell pepper strips
1 cup red bell pepper strips
3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
Preparation
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add steak strips to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning bag occasionally. Remove steak from bag, reserving marinade.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add reserved marinade, onion, and bell peppers; cook 6 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Serve over rice.

Re: Thanksgiving week Menus
Jeannie could you please share your ginger soy salmon recipe?
Salmon is just one (of the many) things I could do better.

It's really just a throw together.. but my husband loves it.
In the morning I put the salmon in a baking dish and add soy sauce, a good bunch of fresh minced ginger (I use probably half a large root), 5 cloves of minced garlic, about 4 chopped scallions, the juice of a lemon and about 2 tablespoons of garlic. I let the salmon take a bath in the fridge until I'm ready to cook it - it marinates all day.
I pour off most of the marinade (sometimes I retain a little and heat it up as a sauce for the rice) and bake it in the oven on 325 until it's cooked through. Quick and simple.. but lots of flavor!

YES! I did make it once before with ground turkey - but I think I'm going to try using leftover turkey breast this time!
