Avoid the cold – cook at home!

Posted on November 19, 2011

Well, I think the cold has decided to stay, and for many of us that means more time at home.  Lately it seems my biggest challenge is getting the boys to remove their homework from the table so we can eat, and for that I am truly thankful!

Here are some highlights of what members are eating this week.  Note that there are some men making plans this week – let’s hear it for the guys! 

orange-juice Joy is making French Toast and Breakfast Ham.    Tasty and fast – a nice way to start the day.  Leslie is raising the bar with  Sun-Dried Tomato Omelet, Toasted English Muffins, Cottage Cheese and Pineapple Chunks.   Have breakfast at Paul’s and you’ll enjoy  Cheddar Baked Eggs, Bacon, and Bakery Croissants.  I’m not a fan of making bacon in the morning because I can smell it all day.  Last week I took some turkey ham and sliced it into bacon sized strips and browned it in a pan.  The boys liked it better than bacon because it was meatier.

 lunch Our membership is split pretty evenly between those who take lunch, and those who are at home for lunch.  Colin is packing Roast Beef Coleslaw Sandwiches, Apple, Mozzarella Cheese Stick, Alicia  Chicken Tapanade Sandwiches, and Raspberries.  Donna is baking BBQ Beef Biscuit Cups,and serving them with  Apples.  The biscuit cups are really popular with kids – and are easy to customize. 

menu We have some restaurant quality dinners happening this week - Joy is splurging on  Salmon Steaks with Fresh Salsa and  Real Caesar Salad (you can leave out the anchovy if you like – or buy a tube of anchovy paste which lasts longer).  At Mary’s they’ll be enjoying  Pork Scallopine With Marsala and Mushrooms, Parmesan Orzo Primavera, and Steamed Broccoli.   Wyatt is whipping up Pork Piccata, Fried Apples and Roasted Root Vegetables – very seasonal and I”m sure very tasty!

Have a great week and stay warm!
