Sunday: Like I said on the first post, we also do pizza on Sunday nights. It's a lot of routine, but I haven't got tired of the wonderful breadsticks yet! :-)
Monday: Pecan Chicken Strips
We normally make this with chicken salad. But today we are just doing strips. Here is what you need.
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1-2 teaspoons poultry seasonings
1 egg
Chicken strips
1. In a food processor, combine pecan pieces, bread crumbs, and seasonings. Mix until blended.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture. Allow it to drip slightly and coat with blended pecan mixture.
3. After the chicken is coated, place it on a baking sheet, covered with Pam and aluminum foil.
4. Bake at 350 for 20 or 30 minutes.
Tuesday: Enchilada Bake
This is probably one of my favorite meals. It can be made ahead of time and then placed in the fridge for future cooking! Plus it makes for great leftovers and is always good! Here is what you will need:
1 lb of ground beef
1 large onion
1 jar picante sauce
1 can black beans
1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing ( yes, it sounds weird, but its not noticeable)
1 package taco seasoning
6 flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1 package Mexican cheese
1. Brown hamburger meat with onion. Drain. Add salsa, beans, dressing, and seasoning and mix well. Stir in sour cream.
2. Cover the bottom of the pan with tortillas, that have been sprayed with Pam. Cover the layer with half the meat mixture on top and sprinkle with cheese. Add more tortillas, add meat mixture, and then add the rest of the cheese.
3. Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 10 more. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Wednesday: Pancakes, Sausage, Eggs, and Bacon
Some days you just want breakfast for dinner. This is one of those weeks. Combine with the fact of working and church, it's gonna be around 8 or so before we get to eat. Thankful for living so close to church!
Thursday: K's parents
The plan is to eat at K's parents. If not we have a free Lenny's sub that will get used.
Friday: Date Night
We have another gift card from our credit cards, so we are going to take advantage of that one. Just not sure which restaurant yet!
Saturday: Hamburger Sliders
I told you we are basing most of the meals off hamburger meat because that's what we have a lot of. Not sure if we will grill these on the grill or on the grill inside either way this is a way I will eat hamburgers.
The spaghetti and meatballs turned out great! I will end up posting that recipe soon. Crockpot marinara and meatballs, be on the look out! Enjoy coking! Anything look good, or what are you trying on your menu this week?
