Week 71 Menu

Sorry, no menu again this week...finishing up the trip in Utah then hitting the road. And when we get home, my mom is in town - yea! Even though I don't have a menu, I DO have a picture of the yummy Creamy Chicken Enchiladas I made the other week. It's a great recipe - try them! Warning...there are a lot of steps to make them, but it's worth the work.


Okay, people, last week I didn't have a menu, and only 3 people posted theirs! Memorial Day is a pretty good excuse...but the holiday is over. So get your menus up here! :)

Hi there -- I'm new to this website and I love it so far. One quick question about those creamy chicken enchiladas: what is the point of all the cream? Is it just to make the filling inside creamier? And if so, why not just add some of it to the chicken mixture itself? Also, do you usually have a lot of the leftover cream to pour on top? Thanks!

I'm loving the weekly menus. It has really helped me stay organized, and it also means I really only have to go to the grocery store once a week (if I remember to pick everything up).

Here goes for this week...

Tuesday:
-Pulled Pork Barbacoa Sandwiches
-Roasted veggies

Wednesday:
-Lemon Chicken
-Roasted Beets

Thursday:
-Relief Society activity, let Chris fend for himself!!! YAY!

Friday:
-Leftovers

Saturday:
-Out or Margarita Pizza

Sunday:
-If we go out on Saturday we'll do pizza, if we had the pizza, then I'll do Grandma buz's meat patties w/mashed potatoes and veggies.

BTW, I'm totally interested in hearing about Lindsay's Cheesy Zucchini and Corn dish. Would you be interested in sharing?!?

Lindsay said...

i'm happy to share the recipe for this easy side dish. nothing fancy-- just cut up some zucchini, cut some corn kernels off the cob (or use a bag of frozen corn), saute them in butter with a bunch of fresh minced garlic. season with coarse salt and cracked pepper. when the vegetables are cooked, add shredded muenster cheese and let it melt. it kind of turns into a big cheese blob of stuff, but it tastes wonderful and is nice to serve with mexican food (or whatever!).

brittany...the cream just makes it creamy :) helpful, I know. I supposed you could put some cream in the chicken mixture instead, but I like it without the cream in the chicken and I think the point is to have a cream sauce, as opposed to a red or green sauce.

and, yes, I always have TONS of leftover cream...I pour a bunch on top and still have leftover cream, so I supposed you could definitely cut down on the amount cited in the recipe! :)

hey that enchilada looked yummy!I wanted to share this, whenever I have any kind of chicken dish, with it I have this drink called purple. You must have heard about it since it's doing a lot of rounds in the celebrity circuit and is all over the news. Its tastes amazing with chicken, try it and let me know if you liked it or not. It is a health drink which is made up of 7 fruits juice and is high on antioxidants and you know about antioxidants right? it prevents premature ageing, what else do growing women want huh, LOL!! If you want more information to check whether what I am saying is right you can get it at www.drinkpurple.com . You can get it at GNC and drug stores.
