Menu - Week of September 21, 2009

Good dairy products, that's what I'm talking about...

I have discovered Greek yogurt and I cannot get enough of it. It is delicious! So delicious, in fact, that even my very picky 9-year-old eater loves it. He enjoys it because he can flavor it however he likes. He adds vanilla and a little bit of sugar and can eat the whole container in one sitting. Our local HEB has several brands and I have tried two and I honestly cannot tell the difference so at this point, I am getting the least expensive brand: Stony Field Farms Greek Yogurt, 16 oz. for $3.29. I eat it for breakfast with berries and nuts. It is so different from regular watery, sugary yogurt and so much better for you! I love it. I am also enjoying using goat cheese in salads. It makes the dressing silky and tastes delicious. It's kind of expensive, but it's worth it.

Ok, so here is what I am thinking for this week:

  • Monday - Picadillo con Papas (ground beef with potatoes stew), Rice, Refried Beans, Goat Cheese Salad with Craisins, Grapes
  • Tuesday - Bean and Cheese Quesadillas, leftover Rice, Steamed Veggies, Apple Slices
  • Wednesday - Steak Fajita Tacos on corn tortillas with Cilantro, Onion, and Salsa; Veggies with Dip, Grapes
  • Thursday - Mom's Night Out; will probably make some quick pasta for the kids and David
  • Friday - Potluck Dinner with Friends: Grilled Beef Short Ribs and Chicken Breasts, Salads, Mexican Martinis.
  • Saturday - Leftovers
  • Sunday - Borracho Bean Soup, Rice, and Fruit
Provecho!
