Weekly Menu: 2/11/13 - 2/17/13

Update from last week:  We tried a few new recipes last week.  I'll be adding the Beef and Broccoli, Ranch House Pork Chops and Chicken Cordon Bleu to the recipe rotation.  They are that good.   

 I had to do a little re-arranging since I defrosted three pounds of hamburger meat on Saturday and need to use it ASAP.  So we had tacos on 2/10 instead of the pot roast I had planned.  Oh well, we'll have it this week!  I hope you find some inspiration this week from Momma Aimone's kitchen.

 Monday
Meatballs
Pasta and Pasta Sauce
Garlic Bread
This meatball recipe is my go-to whenever I have some extra hamburger meat lying around.

 Tuesday
Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken
Quinoa and Black Beans II
The cilantro lime chicken is also one of my go-to recipes.  Quick, easy and filling because it includes black beans and corn.  Try it, let me know what you think!

 Wednesday
Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice
New recipe.  I'm a little leary because you have to cook the rice ahead of time.  We'll see...

 Thursday
Slow Cooker Bourbon Chicken
New recipe!

 Friday
Slow Cooker Pesto Ranch Chicken
New recipe!

 Saturday
Slow Cooker Rump Roast
Mashed Potatoes
Veggie
We were supposed to try this recipe on 2/10, but we ended up having tacos instead.  Will let you know!

 Sunday
Top secret joint blog post I am working on with my dear friend Patty Richey over at Good, Better, Best.  More to come...

Stocking Your Freezer: Pumpkin Bars

The holidays are upon us.  Halloween is tomorrow and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  It's also the time of year to start baking.  And who doesn't love to bake!  Problem:  Baking takes time.  Solution:  Bake once and freeze!  Today, I'm making pumpkin bars for a little shindig after our neighborhood Halloween Parade.  But I'm doubling the recipe so all I have to do next time is pull the bars out of the freezer, whip up some icing and voila!  And a big shout out to my girlfriend, Katie Cook Guymon, for bringing these bars into my life. Pumpkin Bars (recipe courtesy of Paula Deen ) Ingredients 4 eggs 1 2/3 cups sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 1 can pumpkin (15 oz) 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Direct...

Stocking Your Freezer: Pork Chop Marinades and Rubs

Pork Chops were on sale last week at Giant.  We love pork chops!  And you can do the same thing with pork chops you do with chicken - freeze it in a marinade or rub.  Below are a few recipes for my favorite marinades/rubs to help you stock your freezer.  Then, when you are running short on time in the morning, just pull out of the freezer, defrost while you are work and throw in the oven at 350 degrees for 45-60 mins.  Voila! Marinated Pork Chops  (from allrecipes.com) Ingredients 3 pork chops 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons ketchup Directions --In a small bowl combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar and ketchup. --Place pork chops in a Ziploc freezer bag and pour sauce into bag. --Zip, label and freeze.
