Weekly Menu #5


Now that we've had a few nice days, I'm really itching to cook on the grill. Just the other night we threw some hot dogs on the grill because it was a last minute decision and we didn't have anything else to grill, and then sat around by a fire once the sun went down and it was awesome! So we'll start incorporating a few more grill ideas as we move forward. Hopefully it will get so nice outside that we can do an entire week full of grilled dinners!

Monday
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Flattened Redskin Potatoes

Tuesday
Cha Cha Chicken Tacos with mango Tango Salsa

Wednesday
Spicy Italian Beef Sandwiches
Cucumber Salad

Thursday
Grilled Bourbon Pork Medallions
Grilled Rosemary Chive Potatoes
Waldorf Salad

Friday
Lazy Lasagna
Caesar Salad

Here are some suggested snacks and desserts to go along with your menu this week.

Sweet Cajun Chicken

My husband was supposed to grill tonight, but I could make him do it in the rain.  A little bit of rain yes....rain with thunder that shakes the house and lightning that  lights up the whole neighborhood-no.  So I decided to "grill" the chicken inside. No I am not talking a George Foreman Grill, I used something WAY better.  I used my square cast iron grill pan that I got a few weeks ago.  Scott said that it was just as good if not better.  It was AWESOME! But I can't let him out of his grilling duties that easy!  This marinade definitely makes the top of my list for marinades.  The combination of spices is perfect!  I will be making again SOON!
Ingredients:
  • 4 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Canola Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons of Cajun Seasoning
  • 2 Tablespoons of Dried Parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Combine all of the ingredients except chicken in a small bowl and mix well.  Marinate chicken in the fridge for about an hour.  
Heat cast iron grill pan (or outside grill) and cook thoroughly.  I didn't add any oil to the pan the marinade provides enough.
I served with Skinny Spinach Mac & Cheese and Herb Butter Corn on the Cob (which I cut off the cob this time)
ALL three of these recipes should be on your must make list!!!!!!!!
