See run down of our Hello Fresh boxes below... but here's the skinny for this week.
Monday:
A few months ago I made a bunch of freezer meals and due to lack of desire to go to the store today I pulled out and heated up some Chicken Fajitas. Simple, Yummy, and in the house.
Tuesday:
Black Bean Cakes
This is one of my go to veggie recipes. It is so good and goes great with avocado and slider buns (stole this idea from my favorite place for black bean burgers Early Girl Eatery). Paring this with a simple salad makes for a great healthy and light meal.
Wednesday:
Minestrone Soup
No Knead Bread
We host a small group from church in our house and meet most Wednesdays. We do a pot luck style dinner. Our dinner crew has diminished greatly so I will most likely continue the main dish.
It is supposed to get cold again (come on Spring!) so I am going to make a soup and bread for dipping. I have made this bread recipe 2 times in the past. The first time it turned out beautiful and amazing, the second time it was like a brick. Lets see how time 3 goes...
Thursday:
Stuffed Peppers
I love anything Greek and while I didn't pull this out of the family cookbook - it is really good. Plus, you make it in a crockpot so its super easy!
Friday:
Chicken Cutlet with Asparagus and Mushrooms
New recipe. I purchased this awesome new cookbook about cast iron cooking - I couldn't find the recipe online, but this is the magazine where I got it.
Southern Cast Iron
Saturday:
The hubs has request either a filet or salmon for dinner. Since I am not sure what the weekly deals will be until Wednesday this one is a little up in the air.
Sunday:
I haven't gotten around to cooking my Sunday meal in 2 weeks so I decided not to put anything on the schedule. This will either consist of leftovers or maybe a dinner out - we will have to see how the weekend plays out.
Last Week Update:
So our experience with Hello Fresh was great, super fresh ingredients, organic meat, yummy recipes - but as a family of 4 (3 eaters) it wasn't quite enough food for us. Perhaps once J is old enough we will give it another shot. I did enjoy not having to plan or shop for 3 meals. I also have decided I will add grapefruit to my fish tacos in the future as I really enjoyed the acidity they provided.
And here's the truth - this schedule went to crap this week. I still haven't gotten to the Salmon and Asparagus ( I will try again soon) and I altered our Zucchini Lasagna into grilled Burgers and grilled Zucchini.
I'll give updates next week on how the new recipes turned out and any changes I would make. Stay tuned...
