Week Three Menu Sept 2nd

Blue Cheese Burgers
These ground beef burgers are a fun change from the regular hamburger. Bits of spices and bleu cheese crumbles fancy up this American standard. {Comes with buns}

Sticky Coconut Chicken
The glaze is really sticky and you really can not taste any coconut. These chicken thighs are marinated in a coconut milk marinade and then grilled on the BBQ. There is a sweet Asian glaze that goes over the top when they are all finished. Think sticky teriyaki chicken only better. {Comes with rice}

Pasta Pesto
A simple pasta dish that will have you coming back for seconds. Penne pasta tossed with a traditional basil pesto sauce with bits of bacon, mushrooms and peas then topped with parmesan.

Burrrito Stack
This was a recipe that my kids found in the Family Fun magazine and it has been a hit every time that we have made it. Layers of flour tortillas, shredded beef, black beans, cheese, salsa and Mexican spices make for a great Mexican style lasagna.

Lemonade Chicken
Boneless skinless chicken breasts marinade in a homemade lemonade concentrate sauce. Take these out an grill them for tangy but slightly sweet delicious meal.

Getting Started

I wanted to let you know about a service that I am going to be offering to my family and friends {and friends of friends}.

I talk to people all the time about meal planning and what they are having for dinner at their house. I realize that all of us get stuck in a rut making the same things over and over. Many of us are running in so many directions that we barely have time to run through the drive thru for dinner.

Many of you know that I love to cook. I love to plan the food. I like to shop for food. I like to make the food and it goes without saying that I like to eat the food. As the school year starts up and so does soccer, karate, piano, etc. I know that everyone gets busy. I am looking for families that would like some help getting dinner on the table.

I am putting together a menu { 5 meals} that will be changing on a weekly basis. These meals come from family favorites, friend's favorites, my favorite food blogs and wherever I can find super dishes. I will prepare your meals,package up the meals and have them ready to be cooked at your house. I will give you all of the cooking instructions. These meals can go into your fridge and/or freezer to be used throughout the week.

These meals are available for pick up or can be delivered to your door for a small fee. There is no long term commitment. You can order when you like. These are meals that I feed my family so they are kid friendly but very tasty for adult palate.

Check back often to see what is on the menu.
