Supper Club

Last weekend, my mom and I were on our way to Alabama. Whenever we make the 5 hour trip together, we always catch up/vent, etc. This time, venting happened to be about cooking. I like to cook, she does not. But the one thing we agreed on is the planning of the menu. Each week, we both plan a menu, and then go to the grocery store to buy what we need for that week's meals. As per my previous post, T and I always get in a menu rut so I'm always looking for new ideas. As we were talking about it, I had an idea. We would start a Supper Club. Get as many people as we can to submit a recipe, and then everyone else will have some ideas they can pull from.

So here's how it'll work. Each week, you can submit a recipe to kala_jones@att.net. I will compile the recipes and post it towards the end of the week (I always grocery shop on Sunday) and then you will have a full week's worth of recipes to use.

So I am posting our menu for this week to get everyone started.

 

April 7, 2013- April 13, 2013

 

Sunday- Chicken Casserole

       1 pound boneless chicken, boiled and chopped

       1 can cream of mushroom

       1 bunch of broccoli

       1 can mushrooms (I use a large can because I like lots of mushrooms!)

       1/4 cup cheese

       3/4 cup mayonnaise

       1 beaten egg

       1 sleeve ritz crackers

       Combine chicken, cream of mushroom, broccoli, mushrooms, cheese, mayonnaise, and beaten egg. Pour into 8x8 pyrex dish. Top with crushed Ritz Crackers and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees

Monday- Calzones- the recipe for Calzones can be found here

Tuesday- Curly Noodle Supreme- can be found here 

       I use a couple different ingredients from this recipe though. I do not use canned veggies. I cut up fresh tomatoes and use frozen corn (I use the steamer and then dump it straight into the pan with ground beef. It has a little sauce with it that flavors the ground beef. With that being said, I DO NOT use the flavor package with the ramen noodle. It is full of sodium and not good stuff. I just crunch up the noodles and add them.

Wednesday- Chicken Stuffing-

        1 pound chicken, put in bottom of crockpot

        1 cup chicken broth, pour over top of chicken

        1 can cream of chicken

        1 box stuffing (I use Stovetop Whole Wheat Chicken)

        1 cup sour cream (I use 1 cup plain Greek yogurt)

        Mix cream of chicken, stuffing, and sour cream  and pour on top of chicken. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until stuffing is fluffy and chicken is done.

Thursday-Dinner out (sorry but cooking 4 nights in a row is too much for me! I need a break!)

Friday- grilled pork chops, mac and cheese, salad- We will marinade our pork chops with dale's sauce and salt and pepper and then grill

Saturday- fajitas, rice, refried beans (with guacamole and sour cream)- this is a new recipe I am trying this week and I hope its good. It can be found here

Feel free to mix these recipes any way you like. If you are busy tomorrow night and want to have a crockpot meal, then go for it. Also, feel free to add anything or change things. Post in the comment box what your favorite recipe was!

Hope this makes your week easier. Go ahead and submit your recipes to me for next week (April 14th- 20th)!

Enjoy,
