Simple Summer Supper

For Delivery Wednesday, July 10th

Tequila Lime Chicken
Orzo with Roasted Vegetables
Herbed Garlic Bread
($35)

What is better than a Simple Summer Supper full of seasonal, fresh ingredients and wonderful summer flavors! This is my favorite time of year for food with all the fresh veggies and grilling out. We're doing both this week. Let's get started with Tequila Lime Chicken. Lean chicken breasts marinated overnight in an insanely intense mixture of tequila, lime juice, orange juice, jalapeno, garlic and chili powder, then grilled to perfection.

I have been waiting for all the great fresh summer veggies to make this dish for you. To go alongside the chicken, we'll have Orzo with Roasted Vegetables. This is such a great dish that combines eggplant, bell peppers, red onions, zucchini and grape tomatoes all slow roasted to bring out their amazing flavors mixed with orzo pasta and topped with a fresh lemon dressing, a little feta cheese and fresh basil.

 

I'll include my  Herbed Garlic Bread that starts with ciabatta topped with garlic, fresh oregeno and parsley, and little olive oil warmed in oven until toasty.

Please let me know by Sunday, July 7th if you want in on next week's meal. 

Delivery will be on Wed. July 10th, not Tues. next week!

 

 

Mexican Many Ways

For Delivery Tuesday, July 2nd

Mexican Chopped Salad with Mexican Green Goddess Dressing
Organic Ground Chicken Tacos
Mexican Red Rice (Arroz Rojo)
($35)

As you all probably know by now, Mexican flavors are my favorite! I have been inspired this week by Gywneth Paltrow's new cookbook,  It's All Good. It's an amazing look at how we can still eat wonderfully flavorful foods, but keep it all whole and not processed.  I am giving everyone in your family great options this week. Every person can have Mexican food their way and you won't even realize how good for you it is. First, the Mexican Chopped Salad with Mexican Green Goddess Dressing is out of this world healthy and delicious. This salad has fresh corn, romaine lettuce, black beans, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro. The dressing is made with Greek yogurt, lime juice, a little jalapeno, olive oil and honey. It is very filling and can be eaten as a meal or you can use it to top off your tacos.

Organic Ground Chicken Tacos are a great, healthy take on our regular ground beef tacos. I'll add in some finely diced red and green bell pepper, onion, and a wonderful blend of Mexican seasonings with the organic ground chicken to really kick these up a notch.

At our house everyone has to have rice with their Mexican food, so I'm making one of our favorites - Mexican Red Rice (Arroz Rojo). This rice starts with organic Texmati rice, cooked in vegetable broth and a little tomato paste with garlic and onion. Simple, but perfect with all the other flavors we have going on. This rice could be added to your chicken tacos or serve as a base for your Mexican chopped salad. Like I said 'Mexican Many Ways'!

Please let me know by Saturday, June 29th if you want in on next week's meal.

 

 

BBQ Time!

For Delivery Tuesday, June 25th

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Buttermilk Coleslaw
Barbeque Baked Beans
($35) 

It's BBQ Time this week. I'm bringing you Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Buttermilk Coleslaw . This meal will give you lots of ways to get everyone fed with a summertime schedule. The pork is marinated with a spice rub then cooked low and slow for that wonderful smoky flavor. This buttermilk slaw only has a little buttermilk to give it some creaminess, but don't worry it has a vinegar base for you die hard Lexington bbq fans! I know who I'm cooking for.

Pulled pork sandwiches have to include some amazing bbq baked beans. These beans have a wonderful combination of brown sugar, molasses, bbq seasoning and homemade bbq sauce. Yummy!

Please let me know by Saturday, June 22nd if you want in on next week's meal.

Happy Summer!

For Delivery Tuesday, June 18th

Fresh Veggies w/Light Italian Ranch Dip
Tortellini, Shrimp & Spinach in Creamy Tomato Sauce
Fresh Bakery Bread
($35)

Happy Summer! I hope this finds you all breathing a sigh of relief and looking forward to vacations, pool time, reading, and longer, lazy days (yeah, right!) We can dream :-)  I'll try to help you get through at least one dinner next week with a starter of Fresh Veggies (Crudites) and Light Italian Ranch Dip. This is a great way to gather round and have everyone snack on their veggies while you get the main course ready to serve. Freshly cut veggies are served with a light and yummy dip that kids and adults love. If you have leftovers all the better as this snack is ready to go straight from the fridge.

Tortellini, Shrimp & Spinach in a Creamy Tomato Sauce is a wonderful pasta dish with a creamy sauce that isn't heavy. I know its swimsuit season!! Shrimp, tortellini and spincah are mixed with a light, yet creamy sauce for fabulous flavor with out weighing down the dish. The secret is plain Greek yogurt mixed in with the marinara sauce along with a little white wine and Parmesan cheese. This holds up well to rewarming, so it will be good to go when your crew can get to it.

 I feel like I have to give you guys some fresh bakery bread to go along with your pasta.  I'll get whatever looks best that day! 

Please let me know by Saturday, June 15th if you want in on next week's meal.

 

 
 

Greek Week

For Delivery Tuesday, June 11th

Chicken Gyros w/Toppings (Pita Bread, Tzatziki Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion)
Cucumber Tomato Feta Salad
Greek Style Potato Wedges
($35)

We're going Greek this week! My inspiration for this meal came to me as I thought about how sad I was that we missed going to the Greek Festival this year. We love the gyros and it is my "must have" every year. So, here we go......Chicken Gyros w/ Toppings. These gyros start with a delicious marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and oregano. The chicken is then grilled and sliced so you can pile it on warm pita bread and top it off with plenty of cool, creamy tzatziki sauce. I will include fresh veggies to add as you like: sliced tomoatoes, red onion and lettuce. 

 

 

I have to include this amazing  Cucumber Tomato Feta Salad. This is a Greek favorite and it is wonderful to use as a topping inside your gyro or on the side. The salad has fresh seedless cucmber chunks, sliced cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta cheese in it. Combined with fresh basil, red wine vinegar, olive oil and honey. It is great as leftovers the next day, too!

 

 

 

Greek Style Potato Wedges will make you and the kids happy. These potato wedges are roasted until tender and crispy with delicious seasonings of lemon, garlic, greek oregeno and a little sea salt. Yummy!

Orange-Almond Spring Salad w/Orange Vinaigrette
Fresh French Baguette



Last minute change of plans, so I'll be here to give you Dinner to the Rescue! I know these last few weeks of school are killer......so, I'll try to make your life a little easier with dinner on your porch when you get home. My Chicken Spaghetti Casserole is low in calories, but big on flavor and hearty. This is a family pleaser with chicken, spaghetti, celery, red bell pepper and onion pulled together with a great sauce topped with cheese. This recipe has been in our family for as long as I can remember and it's a huge hit!

 I'll toss together a super healthy and flavorful Orange -Almond Spring Salad with Orange Vinaigrette. This salad starts with spring mix lettuces topped with mandarin orange sections, almonds, celery and a wonderful orange vinaigrette dressing. 

To round out the meal I'll include a fresh french baguette. This is the perfect bread to go along with your chicken spaghetti and salad.

Healthy Asian Take-Out

For Delivery Tuesday, May 14th

Healthy Asian Take-Out
 
Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps 
w/toppings: chopped peanuts, cilantro, and Spicy Lime & Ginger Sauce
Orange Chile Noodles 
Cantaloupe & Strawberry Salad

I am so excited about this meal! The Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps are my take on P.F. Changs amazing appetizer, but they are a meal in themselves. The filling is lean ground turkey with fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce and a mixture of minced veggies (carrots, green onions and water chestnuts). You wrap this yummy filling up in side a tender Boston lettuce leaves and top with chopped peanuts, cilantro and my Spicy Lime & Ginger Dipping Sauce. 

 

  Orange Chile Noodles are the perfect dish to go along with the Lettuce Wraps. Thin Chinese egg noodles with a slightly sweet orange sauce made with ginger, orange juice and zest, brown sugar, soy sauce and a little sweet hot chile sauce. I will give you extra of the hot chile sauce so you each family member can adjust to their liking!! Topped with scallions.

We'll round out this great Asian Take-Out with a Cantaloupe-Strawberry Salad. These are the fruits of the season and will be sweet and fresh!
