Weekly Menu Plan: May 24- 30, 2010
This week I am revisiting some StoneGable standby recipes. They are easy, delicious and one's that are tried and true family favorites! A recent favorite is a wonderful pizza from Faithfulness Farm. My family thinks this pizza is the best! Thanks Mrs. P!
It would not be a good cooking week however, if I didn't have a couple of new things on the menu. I love to peruse all the great dishes posted on Foodie Friday. This week I just couldn't resist the sound of Orzo Asparagus Salad and Kickin' Pasta Sauce. Both are from very talented cooks in bloggland.
Monday:
Shrimp Scampi with Bowtie Pasta
Ceaser Salad
Recipe: Shrimp Scampi with Bowtie Pasta
This is a wonderfu and tasty recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I find her recipes consistently delicious and
quite do-able. Click HERE for recipe. I am making it with bowtie pasta instead of linguini.
Tuesday:
Grilled Chicken in StoneGable Marinade
Orzo Asparagus Salad
Recipe: Grilled Chicken in StoneGable Marinade
My go-to marinade will work wonders on chicken breasts or tenders. Click HERE and find this fabulous and my very favorite marinade recipe under Tuesday's menu.
Put chicken in a zip lock bag with marinade. Marinade for 30 minutes to 8 hours. Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade. Grill chicken.
Recipe: Orzo Asparagus Salad
This recipe comes from Red Couch Recipes, a blog I am smitten with. I think this dish sounds so delicious and I can't wait to give it a try. Click HERE for this spring inspired recipe.
Wednesday:
Ravioli with Kickin' Pasta Sauce
Greek Salad
Recipe: Ravioli with Kickin" Pasta Sauce
I really excited to try this yummy sounding pasta sauce that comes from Delightful Country Cookin'! This is not a delicate or whimpy sauce, but one that has meat and full flavors. Oh, this sounds perfect! I am putting it over store bought cheese ravioli. Click HERE to get this soon to be favorite recipe.
Recipe: Greek Salad
I could make this salad with my eyes closed. Very rich and satisfying and full of great and vibrant flavors! I love this for lunch and have it often. But my family craves it for dinner too. Click HERE for a salad you are sure to love too!
Thursday:
Bachlorette Party. Boys you have to fend for yourselves. You know the take-out numbers! There may even be leftovers (that is a bad word to Bobby).
Friday:
Homemade Pizza
Field Greens with Bleu, Dried Cherries and Pistachio Nuts in a Raspberry Viniagrette

Mrs. P from Faithfulness farm makes the best pizza. And even better than her pizza is her amazing blog. She is a great blog buddy of mine. For this adictive pizza click HERE for the recipe.

Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteAnother good week I see!!! :)
That pizza is making me soooo hungry!
Oh and you marinade sound divine! Question, I can never seem to get chicken breasts grilled properly, it just burns on the outside but stay sometimes raw inside... :(
Any cooking tips to get it evenly cooked and stay moist?
Love,
Bird

Sounds like another yummy week at Stone Gable! The Bachelorette party sounds like alot of fun! Having you there it would definitely be a blast!
ReplyDeleteYou know if I come to visit this summer I would definitely want to ride your mower! I am such a hick. I like test riding everyone's mowers. Is that crazy or what? The neighborhood we are attached to is very high end. My MIL hates it when I ride down to her house with the kids in the little trailer cart on the mower. Almost summer! 3 more weeks of school! Ugh, I so cannot wait!
Your menu sounds yummy. Let us know about the asparagus orzo, it sounds great! Looks like you have a lot of good posts coming. I can't wait! Carla
ReplyDeleteAlways inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI want some pizza!!!! Be blessed. Cindy

ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Another yummy sounding week! You know I'm going to check that kicking pasta sauce out--right now. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds delish! I'm still trying to buy my flank steak for last week's southwestern tacos in the crock pot. Every time I go to the grocery store they are out lately. Maybe everyone is reading your blog and trying to make your recipes!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pizza I found at pioneer woman's blog. It is made with tomatoes and eggplant. Wonderful!!
Wonderful!! Taking some great ideas from here, it has been a while since I thought of skewers.
ReplyDeleteI get so many wonderful recipes fro your weekly menu planner. I cannot wait to try some of these.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Yvonne,
