I've been wanting to come up with a list of "go to" recipes that the whole family loves and I think I've narrowed it down to a weeks worth of delicious home cooked meals. My favorite part of
pinterest is finding recipes...trying them out...and then deciding if it's a
keeper.
So here is the fruit of my labor...if you're looking for something to make for dinner...try one of these!
Lazy Day Casserole- I serve this with a salad...it's simple and delicious and the fennel really sets it apart. I like the italian seasoning touch, it makes it a bit different then my normal roasted veggies with olive oil.
Beef + Broccoli- This comes from
Stonesoups 5 ingregdient 10 minute meals...and it's a real winner with Wes. I usually forget the cilantro but it does add more flavor and sometimes I even squeeze a bit of lime. Served with coconut rice it's a complete meal!
Maple Dijon Chicken- A huge hit with the fellas (as the site says) but it's critical to use fresh rosemary (IMHO) and I like to serve this with Israeli Couscous (what don't I like to serve that with) but it's also great with a little roasted cauliflower...my kid likes veggies!
Chicken Marbella- This has been a staple long before pinterest...I typically make it for new moms...the mix of flavors make this a savory sweet sensation. I never use the whole chicken, just 8 or so breasts and serve it with that famous couscous :)
Linguine with Shrimp- My MIL ( a big barefoot contessa fan) introduced me to this recipe...and the cooked lemon had me at first squeeze!
Paleo Chicken with "Peanut" Sauce- I'm not paleo but that didn't stop me from trying this recipe out and I'm so glad I did. Served over grilled chicken, accompanied by roasted broccoli...yum, yum, yum. Coconut rice often makes an appearance...like the couscous I kind of can't get enough!
Balsamic Onion Pot Roast- I don't bother searing I just dump and go...maybe even add a few baby carrots. It is critical to make the gravy at the end though...and then I transform the leftovers into shepard's pie with mashed potatoes and a bag of frozen peas, corn and carrots.
Ok, hope you enjoy, I know we do!
THANK YOU. I am pretty much the WORST at dinner. And just want someone to tell me what to do. I will benefit from the fruits of your labor for sure! Thank you! Hope you guys are doing well! - Lindsey
