Fall is OFFICIALLY here and you know what that means??? Crockpots, Soups, Stews and Cornbread ... lots of cornbread.
God did NOT disappoint with our weather this weekend either ... we were in the 80's for Saturday and Sunday (in TX that is a cold front!) and we continue to cooooool way down .. my menu making will become a lot easier because my family doesn't mind soup for dinner. THANK YOU LORD!
I became acquainted with SKINNYTASTE a few years ago and have been hooked to her blog ever since. Gina has a fantastic way of recreating treasured recipes and comfort food that my family loves, but with less fat, calories and GF in a lot of cases, but her dishes still have robust flavors and wonderful taste. I don't know how she does it, but every single thing I've tried has been a winner with my menchildren and husband. One thing I can't wait to make again is Gina's Stuffed Pepper Soup. Oh, my goodness ... I'm in love ... Hopefully in a few weeks ...
Meanwhile, we still have a few warm days this and next week, so my menu will be an eclectic mix for sure. I'm calling it All Request Week - you know like radio stations used to do??? :) **Picture Get Down on it by Kool & the Gang)
Sunday - Football wings, pizza and Root Beer Floats (by request of my kiddos)
Monday - Fish Fry (Also known as game night) BIG Salad
Tuesday - Chicken A la King, Sweet Peas
Wednesday - Honey Glazed Salmon, Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans
Thursday - Tilapia Pockets, Zucchini, Brown Rice
Friday - Sloppy Joes, Home Fries
Last week was BUSY, so I hope this week will be a slow one and we won't be eating on the run. I like to SIT down and enjoy the food and my family.
Have a great week!
Hey, I found your blog from the Kingdom Woman blog hop. I've looked through your posts and I simply must know what "Tilapia pockets" are! They sound yummy! Also, I see you whip up a pot of pinto beans and cornbread every now and then. My kids seem to prefer black eyed peas. I try to make them every other week, sometimes every week! God Bless.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, they are pockets made with Reynolds Wrap, fish & veggies and your own seasonings. You take the fish and veggies and layer on the foil. Season as you like, Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and then wrap both ends tightly. Cook on 375 for 30 to 45 minutes making sure your fish is flaky. Serve over rice, pasta, quinoa, etc. Easy clean up too. :)
