Weekly Menu - 1/17
I know it's early but I just ordered peapod so I planned out my week with dinners:
Sun - Eggplant sautéed with olive oil & garlic & Warm Vegetable Salad from Giada (recipe below)
Mon - I have yoga so something easy for DH - Beef Stew in crockpot / rice / salad
Tues - Yoga class again so something easy - leftovers / salad
Wed - shrimp with broccoli & whole wheat pasta / salad
Thurs - pork chops (not sure how I am making them yet - maybe just bake them/ broccoli / salad
Fri - chef nite off!!
Warm Vegetable Salad, courtesy of Giada DiLaurentiis
2 whole red peppers
1 1/2 pound assorted red and white new potatoes
3/4 pounds green beans, trimmed and halved
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped oregano leaves
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the broiler. Place the red peppers on a foil lined baking sheet and place under the broiler. Turning every 2 to 3 minutes cook the peppers until the skin is blistered, about 8 to 9 minutes total. Place the blistered peppers in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and allow the peppers to sit for 10 minutes to allow the skin to separate and to let cool.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a cutting board. Add the green beans to the pot. Cook the green beans until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the green beans to a large bowl. Slice the potatoes in half while still warm and combine them with the green beans in the large bowl. Add the dressing at this point so the potatoes absorb the dressing. Add the scallions, parsley, and garlic
Remove the peppers from the plastic bag. Peel off the skin from the peppers. Slice the pepper flesh into wide strips and remove the seeds and veins. Place them in the bowl with the potatoes, and toss to combine.
Dressing :
In a small bowl combine the oregano, lemon juice and zest, and white wine vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the salt and pepper. Toss the warm vegetables with the herb vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

Re: Weekly Menu - 1/17
Monday: DH is cooking- I think Shell steaks and sweet potatoes?? 
Tuesday- Homemade Pizza and salad
Wednesday- Beef Chili with Chili Cheese Bread
Chile-Cheese Bread
Savory Baking, by Mary Cech
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 cup) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles
3 Tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno chile, veined and seeded
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
Preheat the oven to 375, and grease or spray an 8x3 inch loaf pan.
Sift together the flour, salt, pepper, sugar, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add the cheese and gently toss and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Whisk the milk, oil, egg, green chiles, jalapeno, and red bell pepper in another bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and cheese mixture, and pour the milk mixture in the center. Briefily blend with a spatula, only until the dry ingredients are just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and place in the oven. Bake until the top is golden-brown, and springs back when touched in the center, about 45-50 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and cool completely.
Thursday: Chicken Cutlets (breaded and panfried) with the Warm vegetable salad Kris01 posted from Giada and rice.
Friday- Eating out with a friend
Saturday- Roast Beef with mashed potatoes, mixed veggies/asparagus, dinner rolls
Sunday- will be watching Football somewhere
