Heh. I haven't planned yet.. I'm behind!
But I wanted to say that you are EVIL for introducing me to fig and prociutto paninis. It's a sick addiction now.

your food planning always sounds so delish. i think i am going to make a very similar salad this week since i don't have walnuts, but have everything else.

Seriously.. you and Hayley AMAZE me. When I was pregnant I lived on pizza and mac & cheese.
And you can totally move into the house after the baby is born - but I'd probably spend all my time cooing and gooing at the little one instead of cooking!

you can basically treat yucca the same way you treat potatoes.
yucca fries with garlic aioli is awesome
ETA: jeannie, mojo is a marinade that is basically some kind of citrus and wine with different herbs and spices.
por ejemplo: lime mojo
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1/4 cup minced seeded jalapeño chilies
12 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
I make a similar one with orange juice for pork chops that is YUM. the longer the meat soaks, the better it tastes.
here is a recipe for a garlic mojo that is BEGGING for yucca
For mojo de ajo
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
6 fresh Thai chiles (red or green), seeded and minced, or 2 to 3 serrano chiles (including seeds), minced
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallot (4 small)
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Re: Share your weekly menu - 9/26
Thanks Hayley!!! i love your weekly menus!! and Ophelia too!
I gotta say I LOOOOOVE cooking but lately i havent had the time to spend on planning my menus due to being a working mom with an 8 month old. my dh works from home and takes care of her so as soon as i get home i take over - and i usually end up toting her around while i cook ,so my meals are still made from scratch but less elaborate! and ive been drawing blanks when it comes to planning for the week b.c i have 1000 other things going on!
anyhow, vent over!
my two meals planned so far:
tuesday night- chicken cacciatore
wednesday night- beef stew with quinoa
thursday- i have frozen tilapia filets so i'll think of something!

I buy the frozen yuca from goya and boil the whole bag in a pot using their instrctions. Once its done I dran then yuca and put it back int he pot. Then I take 1/4 cup of olive oil and add the juice of 2 limes and i tbsp salt and ehat in a frying pan. When its hot I saute 6-7 diced garlic cloves and 1/2 a thinly sliced onion until tender. The I pour everything into the pot with the yuca and mix it.
My mom always makes it for Thansgiving and Christmas and I love it!!!

Just a note about making yuca fries (offspring of Cuban parents here ). You actually want to cook the yuca completely before frying it (boil in salted water). This is done for 2 reasons - it tastes better and yuca can actually make you quite sick if not fully cooked through.
