The Gardners

Weekly Menu

I won't be doing much for dinner this week. I won't have anyone to cook for until Thursday night. Several months ago Drew and I got a Costco membership and we finally used it today! We stocked up on meat for dinners :) but here is what I have planned from Thursday night on...

Monday- Hanging out with Natalie (teaching her how to be the perfect house wife...so she says)

Tuesday & Wednesday- eating whatever I can find

Thursday- Asian chicken with fried rice.

I got this recipe from my aunt and it is delicious.

2 chicken breasts (just because it is me and Drew)

a couple of TBS of soy sauce and garlic salt (I just eyeball it to my desired amount!)

Merinate the chicken in the soy sauce and garlic salt and a little bit of pepper for about a half hour. Grill chicken.

For the rice-

4 strips of bacon chopped and cooked (keep drippings)

1 cup of white rice

1/2 cup of frozen peas

about 4 Tbs of green onion

soy sauce

1 egg

cook rice according to package. In a pan cook the bacon, then fry the rice in the bacon grease. In a seperate pan scramble the egg. To the rice and bacon add peas, green onion, and eggs. Add desired amount of soy sauce and enjoy!

Friday- Football game, Drew's brothers are playing Legacy Christian Academy, who canyon creek beat last year in the state championship game! Go Cougars!

Saturday-

Breakfast- Pumpkin bread french toast.

I got a box of pumpkin bread mix at costco today so I am going to make the bread and then cook it like french bread. It will be served with awesome maple syrup.

Lunch- Baby shower for the Lovelace's

Dinner- Oven Roasted butternut squash ravioli with Brown butter sage sauce.

I got the ravioli from costco and the sauce recipe was on the back

Sauce:

4 Tbs. butter

4 Tbs. of fresh sage

salt and pepper to taste

grated parmesan

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir in sage and continue to cook until butter becomes frothy and sage becomes crisp (8-10 minutes). Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon warm sauce over pasta, sprinkle with paremsan cheese.

Sunday- I'm hoping that we can go to the fair this afternoon...we shall see

Lunch: Out with the family

Dinner: French dip sandwiches
