Menu Plan Week #21

My menu plan for week #21 includes 3 new recipes and several tried and true.  Happy eating lies ahead.

Tuesday:  Family Night. Spaghetti and Italian Meatballs and an Italian Lemon Crostata for Dessert.  The 10 year old has picked the menu for our second summer cooking class.

Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Under 30 Minutes Capture the pure taste of summer with this pasta. The secret: using raw tomatoes that have never seen the inside of a refrigerator. Recipe copyright 2012 by Eugenia Bone.

 

Italian Lemon Crostata – An Italian in my Kitchen

Lemon Crostata, a simple and easy Italian Dessert. Made with a flaky pie pastry and a delicious fresh lemon cream filling. This Italian Lemon Crostata is your perfect snack or dinner dessert recipe. I wish I could say this Italian Lemon Crostata was made from lemons from my own tree, but unfortunately the Italian and I have absolutely no luck growing lemons.

Wednesday:  Raid the Fridge

Thursday:  Sweet Italian Sausage Casserole (Tried and True)

Friday:  Chicken Enchilada Casserole

Chicken Enchilada Casserole (a.k.a. “Stacked” Chicken Enchiladas)

This chicken enchilada casserole recipe — a.k.a. “stacked chicken enchiladas” — is simple to make, gluten-free and also easy to adapt to be vegan. Oh, and it’s also CRAZY good. My favorite foodie week of the year has finally arrived. Yes, I’m well aware that most people I know get more excited about their annual Thanksgiving turkey-a-thon.

Saturday:  Second Round Meal from “Cook Once, Eat Twice”.

Sunday:  Grilled Ribeye Steaks for great Holiday Weekend eating.

Monday:  4th of July!

Grilled Burgers, Grilled Vegetables, and a Greek Salad.  I will try one of my sisters Burger recipes…the Greek sounds wonderful.

The best turkey burgers i have ever tried …. I freeze left-overs, and heat in the microwave later …

The only thing left is determining the perfect dessert to celebrate the red, white, and blue.  If I can find fresh rhubarb it will be a strawberry rhubarb pie.

Happy Summer Eating Everyone!
