Real Food Menu for Week of 8.3.2020

August 3, 2020Food, meal prep, , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Is there some sort of turkey shortage going on? We’ve been looking for turkey cutlets for weeks with no luck. The meat department manager at one of our Kroger stores told us they “discontinued” them. What? So strange. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to try the new turkey dish below, so in the absence of turkey cutlets, we used chicken breasts.

Mark’s Breakfast:
Cinnamon Roll Noatmeal – Here’s an old friend! Back when I was doing keto (hello, 2019!) we had this for breakfast quite regularly. I add 3/4 tsp. of cinnamon and a smidgen of nutmeg (’cause it’s my favorite spice and I add it to nearly everything!) to the dry noatmeal mix from here…

Make it a little extra special with this cinnamon roll drizzle:

Mark’s Lunch:
Keto Cobb Salad – We like to grill a few chicken breasts on Sunday evening to have on hand for quick lunch prep.

Mark likes this with Pioneer Woman’s dressing from the layered salad.

Dinner:

Garlic and Herb Turkey Cutlets – New! Savory and delicious! Perfect for using those fresh garden herbs. If you can’t find turkey cutlets, butterflied chicken breasts work just as well. Give this one a little time to marinate before cooking.

Greek Salad – We never tire of this refreshing salad, especially when the tomatoes and cukes are rolling in from the garden.

Baked Salmon with Lemon Butter – The fastest entree you’ll ever throw together. You can have this in the oven in five minutes, tops! I didn’t bother to make the side of lemon butter. Serve with a nice salad or veggie.

Strawberry Chicken Salad – Don’t let the garlic in the dressing scare you away; you won’t get dragon breath. For the creamiest dressing, try to use your avocado during the fifteen minute sweet spot between unripe and rotten! 🙂

Snack:
Avocado, Raspberry and Crumbled Cheese Toast – New! I love a good avocado toast, and this one makes a perfect breakfast, snack or light lunch.

A lil’ sweet treat for Mark:
Keto Lava Cakes – Yep. It is a theme. Top these babies with fresh raspberries leftover from the avocado toast above, and sprinkle with a zhoosh of powdered Swerve.

I hope your week goes smoothly and you’re able to find (or order) everything you need from the store!

Real Food Menu for Week of 9.15.2019

September 16, 2019meal prep, , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I had a hot minute to pop into a thrift store on Friday evening, and scored some vintage Pyrex bowls for a Hamilton Beach mixer. I also bought a Pyrex square baker. ‘Cause I need more stuff! In my defense, I’ve already used everything but the pour bowl.

We’ve been busy in the Arthurized Home Test Kitchens, prepping 7 new recipes for this week’s menu! We’ve found several keepers and a new favorite vegetarian soup. This one will be in the rotation frequently. Let’s dive in, shall we? (To the menu, not the soup.)

Breakfast:
Sausage Breakfast Scramble – New Recipe! Here’s a bowl of savory, comfort food for breakfast. We made the Italian version; omitting the salt and using just one half cup of cheese. But, if you like two cups, toss it in there! I don’t judge.

Lunch:
Lemony Avocado Tuna Salad – Mark doesn’t care for avocado, so we sub in chopped cucumber. It’s every bit as delicious.

Dinner:

Baked Salmon with Lemon Butter – New Recipe! The fastest entree you’ll ever throw together. You can have this in the oven in five minutes, tops! I didn’t bother to make the side of lemon butter. Because dang, that’s dedication to your butter, there. Clearly, I’m just not at that level.

Middle Eastern Chicken Kebabs – New Recipe! When we’re cooking for a crowd, we use bamboo skewers, but when it’s just the two of us, we use stainless.

Basic Tahini Sauce

Forty-Clove Chicken Filice – New Recipe! Take some help from the grocery store on this one, and buy a package of peeled garlic cloves. Ain’t nobody got time for peeling forty cloves of garlic! Don’t be afraid of all that garlic; baking just makes them sweeter. You won’t repel vampires.

Green Curry of Broccoli Soup – New Recipe! She’s no beauty queen, but if you’re looking for a mild curry, I’ve gotcha covered. Mine is the vegetarian version, topped with a little parmesan and a few toasted pepitas.

Ropa Vieja

  • Servings: 6-8 very hungry people
  • Difficulty: Easy

My very Americanized version of this hearty shredded beef dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 package (1 oz.) dry onion soup mix – or make your own like this: https://feedingbig.com/clean-eating-onion-soup-mix.html
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 c. red wine
  • 3 T. coconut oil
  • 1/2 c. salsa – look for salsa with no added sugar
  • 1/2 c. water – optional (I almost never add this)
  • Garnishes: Any combination of sour cream, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, olives and avocado
  • 3-4 cups cooked rice of your choice or cauliflower rice for low-carb

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Heat oil in dutch oven, over med-high. Add beef and brown on all sides.
  2. Reduce heat, add onion and cook until soft but not browned.
  3. Add onion soup mix, wine, salsa and water (if using). Bring to a boil.
  4. Cover and place in preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Check occasionally to make sure there is sufficient liquid in the pan, add more wine if necessary.
  5. Shred beef before serving. Serve over rice, or cauliflower rice for low-carb. Garnish as desired. Enjoy!

Snack:
Parmesan chips – New Recipe! – These chips are dangerously addictive! They would be great on a little appetizer tray. Scale this recipe to the number of servings you need. I used my 1″ cookie scoop to portion them onto the Silpat. The Silpat is great for this, because if you’re baking several batches, you won’t need a fresh piece of parchment paper each time.

Treat:
Keto Key Lime Pie Jars – New Recipe! There’s no need for chemical food dyes in this pretty, green dessert. An under-ripe avocado lends unpleasant sharpness, so use a guacamole-ready avocado for smooth, buttery flavor. I used powdered Swerve in the filling and increased it slightly. Add extra lime juice to the filling if you like.
As an experiment, I pressed plastic wrap onto the surface of the filling to remove the air, and placed these in the refrigerator and freezer. These kept just fine in both places for a few days. The avocado did not oxidize at all. I imagine they would keep longer in the freezer. If they’re not eaten first!

I hope your week is off to a great start!
