Calzones Anyone?

For Delivery Tuesday, April 22nd

Ricotta Calzones w/Sweet Italian Sausage and Broccoli *(See Note About Cooking Instructions)
Homemade Marinara
Strawberry-Pineapple-Kiwi Fruit Salad
($35)

We LOVE calzones in our family and eat them at Mellow Mushroom every chance we get! To get our fix at home, I came up with these  Ricotta Calzones with Sweet Italian Sausage and Broccoli. It is as close as it gets to the great taste of your favorite pizza place with a healthy twist. These are made with ricotta, mozzarella, sweet italian sausage, finely chopped broccoli and a great mixture of seasonings nestled inside a wonderful pizza dough. They are served with Homemade Marinara.

To round out the meal this super colorful and yummy fruit salad is just the thing. This Strawberry-Pineapple-Kiwi Fruit Salad has a light dressing of lemon juice, honey and basil.

*Note - The Calzones will be delivered to you "ready to bake" in a 425 degree oven for approx. 30 minutes or until golden brown. Just like pizza these are best fresh out of the oven!

As always the Dinner's Done! meals serve 4-6. There will be 4 - 5 calzones with each order. These are pretty big and in our family we usually split one. I'll see how large they come out after I'm done preparing them and make sure you have plenty.

Please let me know if you want in on next week's order by Saturday, April 20th.

All About Spring

For Delivery Tuesday, April 16th

Lemon Chicken Pasta
Fuji Apple Salad
Freshly Baked Breadsticks
($35)  

Something about Spring makes me feel so energized! All the beauty of the newly blooming cherry trees and amazing array of colorful flowers is such a welcome sight. This week's meal is inspired by all things Spring! The star of the show is one of my favorite Spring recipes. Lemon Chicken Pasta is wonderfully bright and flavorful. It is a simple, perfect combination of bowtie pasta and sauteed chicken breast combined with a light lemony sauce that has fresh lemon juice and zest along with chicken stock, a splash of cream and a sprinking of pecorino romano cheese.

Salads and Spring just go together and this one is my take on the super yummy Panera Fuji Apple Salad.  It combines mixed greens with red onion, apple chips, glazed pecans, gorgonzola cheese and cherry tomatoes topped with a great White Balsamic Dressing. The dressing is white balsamic, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, organic frozen apple juice concentrate, olive oil and spices.

Who doesn't love Freshly Baked Breadsticks? These are fantastic and will make everyone so happy!

If you want in on next week's delivery, please let me know by Saturday, April 13th.

Thanks for looking!

Mexican Fiesta!

For Delivery Tuesday, April 9th

Organic Beef Enchiladas

Homemade Refried Beans

Mexican Rice

Pico de Gallo

($35)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break! To get you back in the swing of things next week's meal is one that is always a favorite. Organic Beef Enchiladas are simple and perfect for dinner any night of the week. My version of beef enchiladas are a bit healthier -- I grate together a small zucchini and onion to add to the organic ground beef. This adds fiber and extra vitamins. You won't even realize the veggies are in there. Add in my wonderful homemade red sauce, some green chilies and a little cheese and it is a done deal. . Each serving comes in at about 318 calories. 

Homemade Refried Beans and Mexican Rice are a must with these enchiladas. I make my refried beans (that aren't really fried) from scratch. Starting with slow-cooked pinto beans and building up the flavor with onion, spices and a little brown sugar.

The Mexican rice is a great combination of long grain rice, organic chicken broth, spices and salsa. Yummy!!

To top everything off, I have to include some Pico de Gallo. It is my all time favorite thing to top everything related to a mexican style meal with. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! It is a little like a chunky salsa with tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos with lime juice and cilantro. No more explanation needed.
