Holy Cow This week went by really fast!!

I hope you all enjoyed your meals last week.

I am going to be short and to the point this week because I am already running behind...I think I am going to start posting my blog on Thursdays...Is that o.k. with you guys? Wednesdays get here so quick!

So, The menu for next week is:

Meal 1:
Chicken Cordon Bleu with Roasted Asparagus

This is a traditional Chicken Cordon bleu recipe which is chicken breast stuffed with Ham and Provolone Cheese and then baked in the oven. It is served with a Honey Mustard Dressing. The roasted asparagus will be seasoned with butter and fresh garlic.

This recipe reminds me of the Turducken...you may be wondering what that is and only in Louisiana can they come up with something like this...it is a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken...crazy, huh? I have not been able to bring myself to eat one but they are all the rave!

Meal 2:
Soup and Salad
Baked Potato Soup Garnished with Sour cream, Cheddar cheese, Bacon Bits and Green onions.

For some reason I always think of soup as being a healthy dish...well...that is all about to change, ecspecially with all of these toppings! O.k, O.k, I will serve a salad with it!

Meal 3:
Chicken Enchiladas with Red Sauce, Spanish Rice and Fiesta Dip with Tortilla Chips.

O.k. I will try to make these Enchiladas as authentic as possible but the Fiesta Dip is a recipe I remember eating in Mississippi...We will call this a fusion dish. It is made with Black Beans, Black Eyed Peas, Tomatoes, Bellpeppers, Roasted Corn, Cilantro, and Italian Dressing. You can eat this as a salad or with Tortilla chips, which will be provided with your meal.

If you have any questions about these meals please let me know!

Hello my hungry friends!

I hope you are having a pleasant week...it's a little chilly outside, huh?

The menu for next week is...

Meal 1

Traditional Chicken Pot Pie and Watercress salad with Toasted Pecans and Dried Cranberries.

I made a chicken pot pie a while back and was not super happy with the recipe so I did some research and this one looks yummy and had a ton of great reviews. My sister-in-law also cooked it and said it was a very good recipe. I am also going to try and find a jumbo muffin pan so I can make these as individual pot pies. I love it when I have an excuse to buy kitchen stuff! ( The real reason I am making Chicken Pot Pie:)

Meal 2

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo with white rice and Potato Salad

One of my very pregnant friends requested this so I am putting it on the menu. You can't say no to a pregnant momma, right?!
O.k. if you are not sure what Gumbo is...Google it.

Meal 3

Smothered Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes and stewed green beans.

I have been wanting to do pork chops for a while and this is a recipe that reminds me of the way I ate pork chops when I lived in Mississippi, so I am going for it. I was looking for some unique sides that have not been on the menu before but these pork chops have a gravy so how could I not pair them with mashed potatoes and so far everyone has really liked the stewed green beans with bacon, onions and rotel tomatoes.(These are a little spicy)

If you are interested in one or all of these meals please order by Friday at midnite, but the sooner the better!

Happy Wednesday!

Thanks to everyone who ordered last week...I hope you enjoyed!

Menu for this week is...

Meal 1:
Chicken Pesto Penne Pasta with Spinach and Caesar Side Salad
Ed loves Pesto so he is going to be excited about this meal!

Meal 2: Taco Soup Garnished with Sour Cream, Cheese and Tortilla Chips

I checked the weather for next week and it is still cool enough for soup. I am assuming that I am not the only one who loves a bowl of soup on a cool day. This one is really yummy because of all the goodies on top!

Meal 3: Pulled pork sandwiches with Cole slaw and Homemade Mac' N Cheese

I am excited about this meal because I am trying a new Mac N Cheese recipe. They have this cute lil' store by house it is called Ma' N Pa' Grocery. Sarai and I walk down there every Tuesday while Ed is in school and we get a snack. I tried there Mac n Cheese and it was sooo good. I think I've figured out everything they put in it. It's almost like a mexican style Mac n cheese with peppers in it! ( but it's not spicy) Anyway, I can't wait to eat it again!

E-mail your order to celecia.martinez@gmail.com (this is a new e-mail address, if you mail it to the old one...I will get the order.) or you can text me...whatever is the easiest for you.

Menu for April 11

I hope all of you had a great Easter! We are still having Easter egg hunts around the house!

So, this is what I am cooking for next week...

Meal 1

Brown Sugar Meatloaf
I love Meatloaf, I just wish it had a different name. Any Ideas what we could call it other than Meat loaf?

In the mean time this meatloaf has a brown sugar and ketchup glaze. It's good! I promise!

Your side for the meatloaf will be Potatoes Au gratin. I made these for Easter and they turned out really good. They are like scalloped potatoes but better. Potatoes sliced thin and baked with Heavy cream, chives, Parmesan cheese, Thyme until bubbly and golden brown on top.

Meal 2

Roasted Chicken with fresh herbs and roasted vegetables. Served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
This Roasted Chicken is seasoned with plenty of fresh herbs like rosemary. All of the left over juices from the chicken and veggies are used to make a white wine gravy. Serve Roasted Chicken with Veggies and Gravy over the Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

I can't wait to eat this one. It's a perfect spring time dish with all the veggies and fresh herbs.

Meal 3

O.k. so I am not sure how many of you will order this one, but thats o.k. because I am really making this for me.
I made a ham for Easter and I saved the bone to make a classic southern dish...Red Beans and Rice.
Red beans are slow cooked Ham bone and smoked sausage and veggies for seasoning. Served over white rice and homemade cornbread. Enjoy!

If you are interested in ordering any of these meals let me know! $5 per adult meal. $2 for children.

Order by Friday Midnite...the earlier the better.

Thanks!
