Real Food Menu for Week of 3.15.2021

I’ve recently learned about colcannon for St. Patrick’s day and I’ve gotta say, I’m intrigued, but skeptical. My concerns are threefold. Will the combination of cabbage and potatoes ruin perfectly good potatoes? Will the potatoes ruin perfectly good cabbage? If I fry up the leftovers, have I actually made Bubble & Squeak? So many questions.

On my friend Sue’s suggestion, we’ll try this little Irish goodie for dinner on St. Pat’s with that steak tagliata. Here’s what we’re eating the rest of the week:

Mark’s Breakfast:

Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats – When berries aren’t in season, these oats are a nice breakfast option. They’re great eaten cold with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or heat and eat minus the toppings.

Mark’s Lunch:
Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup – While we’re on a cabbage roll….(heh. see what I did there?)

All the flavors, none of that pesky stuffing and rolling cabbage leaves. This soup stores and reheats well. The recipe says it yields 12 servings. Maybe if you’re feeding tiny people? This makes 8 hearty bowls of soup.

We like a ‘lil parm on top.

Dinners:

Curry Roasted Carrots (new Recipe!) Here’s a flavor combo we haven’t tried before. Why not give it a whirl? We love curry and we love roasted veggies. Turns out, it’s delicious!

We’ll serve it with this salmon:

Chop Chop Fresh Veggie Salad – So crunchy and fresh! I love that these veggies are available year round, so we don’t have to wait for garden produce to enjoy this salad.

Sliced Steak Tagliata – This delicious steak dinner is super simple to prepare and would make a nice meal for foodie guests. It looks fancier than it is. Instead of sweet potato fries, we’re giving a side of colcannon a try.

Veggie Packed Fried Rice – New Recipe! Coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari are good substitutes for soy sauce. Whatever sauce you use, reserve a little to drizzle on top when serving.

Snack:
Popcorn, bananas, apples, grapes and cucumber slices with hummus.

Treat:
Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies – I was recently chatting with a friend about how I sneak chickpeas by Mr. Arthur’s discerning palate. This treat is one of those ways. We like these blondies with Lily’s chocolate chips.

I hope your week is a happy one, filled with only pleasant shenanigans!

Real Food, Real Life Menu for Christmas Week

Our Christmas celebrations are generally low-key. We have brunch at Pa Kettle’s house, exchange gifts and return home for a long afternoon nap. Christmas night is spent watching movies and relaxing. We’re incorporating a new tradition for 2020, Jolabokaflod. The quick and dirty is this: spend Christmas Eve in bed reading a new book and eating (or drinking) chocolate. I think I’m gonna like this tradition!

Instead of preparing a full menu this week and next, we’re eating quick and easy meals. Some are simple salads, others are soups and main dishes we’ll pull from the freezer. This is where that meal prep really pays off in spades.

Mark’s Breakfast:
Cherry Breakfast Rice Bowl – New Recipe! – The flavor combination of orange and cinnamon remind me of Christmases past. For a hearty (man-sized) breakfast, double the brown rice and spices.
https://www.cleaneatingmag.com/clean-eating-recipes/cherry-breakfast-rice-bowls

Mark’s Lunch:
Mediterranean Pasta Salad – So satisfying! Red lentil penne holds up well in this salad, but any sturdy noodle will work. Don’t forget the feta for that creamy, salty goodness.
https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/mediterranean-pasta-salad

Dinners:
Double Baked Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potatoes – Don’t skimp on that adobo sauce. So yum!
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/these-double-baked-chipotle-chicken-sweet-potatoes

Cuban Style Rice and Beans with Turkey – New Recipe! She’s not the prettiest dinner, but she certainly is tasty. The poblano adds a layer of flavor, not heat.
https://www.cleaneatingmag.com/recipes/cuban-style-rice-beans-with-turkey

Kale Salad with Apricots and Almonds – We just can’t get enough of this simple salad.
https://www.whatwouldcathyeat.com/2012/04/kale-salad-with-apricots-and-almonds

Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup – All the flavor, none of that pesky rolling of cabbage leaves. The recipe says it yields 12 servings. Um. Maybe if you’re feeding tiny people, or consider a cup of soup a serving? This makes 8 nice bowls of soup.
https://www.veggiebalance.com/cabbage-roll-in-a-bowl-slow-cooker-recipe

Snacks: With all the Christmas treats available right now, we’ll stick with fresh apples, bananas, pineapple and baby carrots with hummus for dipping. I’m taking some help from Aldi where the hummus is concerned. Their organic hummus is really delicious.

Treat:
Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies – It’s long past time to bring back these little goodies. We like them with Lily’s chocolate chips.

The holiday baking is done. Santa and Mrs. Claus have hung up their aprons for the season.
Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Real Food Menu for Week of 5.11.2020

We brought our plants indoors Friday evening in anticipation of frost or a freeze. I’ve got asparagus babies ready to go into the ground along with some milkweed for the butterflies; dianthus and petunias for the window boxes on the garage.

It really was too cold this weekend to work outside except for a few hours Sunday afternoon, so we’ll set those garden tasks aside for a few more days. You know you’re a real adult when the highlight of your weekend is freshening up the mailbox with new numbers and a coat of paint for the flag! #sadbuttrue

Here is this week’s menu:

Mark’s Breakfast:
Paleo Almond Flour Biscuits – An old favorite from my keto days.

Lunch:
Slow Cooker Cabbage Roll Soup – Simple, comfort food at its best!
https://www.veggiebalance.com/cabbage-roll-in-a-bowl-slow-cooker-recipe/

Convert Kale Salad – Hands down our favorite kale preparation. We’ve tried several different versions of kale salad but we keep coming back to this one.

Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas – Gotta fix these occasionally to keep my Carnivore in Residence happy. Don’t be afraid of all those spices. They’re a really nice blend, without a lot of heat.
https://kirbiecravings.com/sheet-pan-steak-fajitas/

Quick and Easy Chicken Salad – We love this one. Make it even easier by using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/quick-easy-chicken-salad-recipe/

Lean Bean Meatballs with Greens and Rice – A new favorite dish!

Snacks:
Bananas, Apples, Popcorn – blah-ditty, blah.

Treat:
Peanut Butter Cookies – if you’re expecting the peanut butter sugar-bomb of traditional cookies, you might be surprised with these. To my palate, these little bites have a peanut butter/banana flavor with just a hint of sweetness.

I hope your week is off to a smooth start! Make it a good one!
