Meal Plan Monday

Before I get into my menu for this week, I wanted to give some reviews on last week's recipes.

Parmesan Tialpia

This one was good, but I wish that it had some spice.  I think next time I may add a little cayenne to the parmesan mixture.

Turkey Stuffed Peppers

These were delicious!  I used Spanish rice to make them because that's what I had on hand, and it turned out wonderfully.  Adding the chicken stock to the pan and covering it to cook was briliant.  This was the first time I've had stuffed peppers that were really cooked through.  The only thing I'll change next time take the foil off in the last 5 minutes and not add the cheese until then.

Roasted Squash

We love squash at my house and this is a great way to prepare it.  It gives the squash good flavor, but still allows the squash to shine.  I have a feeling we will be making this often.

Pork Tenderloin in Pan Sauce

Marcus loved this one ... and I thought it was good too.  I'm not much of a pork tenderloin fan in general, but if I'm going to make it, this is one of the best recipes I've found.

Roasted Mushrooms

These were amazing.  I made them exactly as the directions said, but realized after a few bites that I had forgotten to add the balsamic at the end.  So I jumped up from the table and brought it out, and it pushed this dish over the top.  After trying these Marcus said he thought he could eat mushrooms every day ... and I agreed!

Balsamic and Spinach Tomatoes

I made these for all my in-laws at Sunday dinner and they were a hit.  The last time I made these was in the middle of the week, so I had to put them in the marinade before I left for work and they sat all day ... and that was a mistake.  This time I maridaded them for about 4 hours and they were much better.

I found all of these new recipes on Pinterest.

Don't you just LOVE Pinterest?!?!

Marcus gives me a hard time whenever I get on Pinterest, but I've noticed he's started backing off as I cook more of these delicious recipes.

So here is this week's menu, again with several Pinterest recipes.

Wednesday: Cajun Chicken Pasta, Salad
