SG Menu:
Snow is, AGAIN, on the way! So this week's menu is filled with warm and cozy comfort food that is sure to be filling. Because of the stick-to-your-ribs recipes this week, I also added 2 favorite fish dishes. Scallops in a Caper Wine Reduction (heaven!) and Salmon Pinwheels Stuffed with Lobster (from grocer's). Although the snow is going to swirl, Bobby is breaking out the grill. I miss a good grilled flank steak. So I am indulging my hankering and asking my hubby to put on his snow boots to grill!
If you try 1 thing this week it should be the marinade for the steak. This recipe is a staple in my kitchen. I use it on all meats- beef, chicken, pork. It is also wonderful to use as a dressing for roasted veggies. And don't forget to make it as a salad dressing. So yummy!

I never see flank steak at my local store. Of course my son is a meat cutter there, I guess I could ask! I make the same marinade...although I leave out the garlic and use dijon mustard. It is good. I like lots of your ideas this week!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice weekend:)

I cook dinner almost every day of the week, but mine are more quick and easy. Love the fact that you really get in there and have a wonderful variety of dinners each week. Yum.

ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy.. I'll be reviewing once we have it. :)
I did giggle at the pink in your starting pic. I thought maybe you were going to try the "Pink Soup" again. Everything sounds yummy. I will have to try that marinade. I keep my grill right outside the back door cause I use it all year! I get a hankering for BBQ and we eat in shorts picnic style in the living room.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, it's official! I'm inviting myself to your house for the week! Those capers and scallops... YUM! All of it sounds great.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Yum, yum and again I say YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEverything sounds delish!! My husband would love those scallops, think i'll try this recipe for his b-day dinner. Thanks for some great recipes!!
ReplyDeleteWell that is a downright gorgeous menu. You're absolutely right, too - I was just thinking the other day that I'd better get cracking on eating all my favorite cold weather foods before spring comes and I'm back to wanting cold cuts and salads again.
ReplyDeleteHi, These are all wonderful recipes you have shared with us. I'm now starving LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
I think I'll just copy your menu plan, make a list and head to the grocery store before the snow falls again! The good thing about living in a changing seasonal climate is the varied menus one can enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some great recipes! Joan
