THIS WEEK'S MENU 4/18-4/24

I'm back from Vegas, baby, and I'm getting back to business!  Here's my menu line up for this week!

MONDAY:  Squeaky Clean Slow Cooker Beef Bourgignon with Cheesy Quinoa.  I prepped this for last night then forgot to put it in the crock pot!  Oops!  http://thehealthyfoodie.com/slow-cooker-squeaky-clean-beef-bourgignon/  and https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2425851



TUESDAY: Asian Chicken Salad in Cucumber Boats  http://bydawnnicole.com/2014/05/oriental-chicken-coleslaw-salad-whole-30-compliant.html  Take some cucumbers and hollow out the center of them.  Pile the coleslaw inside so you don't need the bread!  Great idea!!  Found it on Pinterest, of course!  I'm going to serve it with roasted spring veggies!



WEDNESDAY:  Kale and Sausage Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust, Side Salad.  This just seemed so yummy and a great way to transition me into loving kale.  http://bydawnnicole.com/2014/07/crispy-kale-sausage-quiche-with-sweet-potato-crust-paleo-whole30-compliant.html  I'll serve it with a simple side salad.


THURSDAY:  Salt and Vinegar Chicken, Sweet Potato Skins.  The recipe I've attached for this uses chicken wings, but I think I'll try it on thighs instead.  Seems to be easier in my brain.  I'm keeping the insides of my skins (the guts of the potatoes) for my Shepherd's Pie for tomorrow.  http://www.casadecrews.com/2014/02/salt-and-vinegar-chicken-wings-for-sundaysupper.html  and  http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/10/savory-sweet-potato-skins/#_a5y_p=1038494




FRIDAY:  Bacon Avocado Burgers, Grilled Squash and Zucc.  Perfect for warm weather and grain-free!  http://thepikeplacekitchen.com/garlic-bacon-avocado-burgers/  I think I'll even take those really large mushroom caps (can't remember the name!!) and make them the bun!  I'll salt and pepper some veggies and throw them on the grill too!


SATURDAY:  Shepherd's Pie, side salad.  We went to a friend's house for dinner the other night and ate some Shepherd's Pie and it was so yummy!  It's what's for dinner tonight!

SUNDAY:  Skillet balsamic Garlic Chicken.  The side dish is still TBD.  Hmmmm... Any ideas?  Comment below.  In the meantime, here's the recipe for the chicken.
