Monday-Chicken fajitas! I didn’t follow a recipe because I cheated a little! I bought a frozen packet of onions and peppers from Trader Joe’s. I poured half the bag into a skillet and cooked it on medium heat until charred, about 10 mintues. For the chicken, I bought a package of chicken cutlets and used half of them tonight. After the peppers and onions were cooked through, I added the chicken to the same pan and cooked for and additional 5-8 minutes.
Tuesday– Chicken stir fry with shredded brussel sprouts and cashews. I used the rest of the chicken cutlets with this recipe.
Wednesday– Cheeseburgers with sweet potato fries and broccoli. I learned from the last time, don’t cook the fries on the grill! So instead, I peeled the potato, sliced it, layed them on a cookie sheet, and drizzled with olive oil and salt. After baking them at 450 for 15 minutes, I then turned them over and baked for another 5 minutes. I also layed the broccoli in a small baking pan, drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and broiled them on high for about 10 minutes, stiring occasionally.
Thursday– Pasta with spicy chicken sausage and broccoli rabe. I followed this recipe, but cut it in half and used chicken sausage instead. I took the sausage out of the casing and cooked it like ground meat on the stove.
Friday-Pork tenderolin with rosemary potatoes and grilled squash. I used the last of our homegrown vegteables. The pork tenderolin was cooked according to the package directions. For the potatoes, I cut them into cubes, seasoned the fresh rosemary and salt and baked at 400 degrees until soft, about 45 minutes.
