Re: ****Weekly Menu 7/31****
Here's my plan for the week. Trying some new recipes. Fingers crossed they are good.
Sunday-Spaghetti w/meatballs and sausage, Italian bread
Monday-Chicken Marsala (Rocco), mashed red potatoes, asparagus
Tuesday-grilled steak, corn, roasted green beans, rissoto
Wednesday-Fresh mozzarella sandwich (skinnytaste)
Thursday-Chicken and Dumplings (Rocco)
Not sure for Friday and Saturday....we've got DH's work BBQ on Friday from 12-5 and DD's new school Grand Opening on Saturday so I likely won't cook those days.

Thanks! I've tweaked my recipe over time. Here is how I'm making it now:
Masala Meatloaf Recipe
Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 onion, chopped
10 sprigs cilantro (used 2 handfuls, chopped)
1 Tbsp ginger paste*
1 Tbsp garlic paste*
1 small green chili (seeded and chopped)
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp garam masala
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
salt to taste
extra virgin olive oil
Topping:
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a saute pan on medium heat, soften the onions in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil (a few minutes).
3. Combine onion and all ingredients (except for topping) in a large mixing bowl. If you're not a fan of spicy food, omit the green chili.
4. Place meat mixture into meat loaf pan (I did two 1 lb mini meatloaf pans 8"x4" or you could do one big loaf pan).
5. In a small mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce and ground cumin.
6. Brush top of loaf with tomato topping.
7. Bake for 1 hr 15 minutes. Continue to check temp of meatloaf until fully cooked.
Notes-
*To make the ginger and garlic paste, place an inch of ginger root and 4 cloves of garlic in a mini processor. Add some water (not a lot) and grind into a paste or liquid puree.

Tuesday: garbanzos con espinacas (garbanzos sautéed with spinach
Do you mind sharing the recipe for this?
Sure!! The recipe is from Smitten Kitchen.
1/2 pound (230 grams) dried chickpeas, cooked until soft and tender* or two 15-ounce cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
6 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound (450 grams) spinach, washed
A hefty 1-inch slice from a country loaf or about 2 slices from sandwich loaf bread (2.5 ounces or 75 grams), crusts removed and cut inset small cubes
1/2 cup (4 ounces) tomato sauce (I used canned stuff I keep around)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika**
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon juice, to taste
Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add half the olive oil. When it is hot, add the spinach with a pinch of salt (in batches, if necessary) and stir well. Remove when the leaves are just tender, drain in a colander and set aside.
Heat 2 more tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bread for about 5 minutes or until golden brown all over, then the remaining tablespoon of oil and the garlic, cumin and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more or until the garlic is nutty brown.
Transfer to a food processor, blender or mortar and pestle along with the vinegar, and mash to a paste. Return the mixture to the pan and add the drained chickpeas and tomato sauce. Stir until the chickpeas have absorbed the flavors and are hot. Season with salt and pepper.
If the consistency is a little thick, add some water. Add the spinach and cook until it is hot. Check for seasoning and serve with paprika on top, or on fried bread toasts (as the Spanish do).
