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!

 

 

 

Please let me know by Saturday, June 8th if you want in on next week's delivery! 





 







Dinner to the Rescue!

For Delivery Tuesday, May 28th

Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
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.

Please let me know by Saturday, May 25th if you want in on next week's meal. 

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!

Down Home Goes Up Town

For Delivery Tuesday, May 7th

Organic Meat Loaf
Crusty Macaroni & Cheese
Bistro Salad
($35)

Where did Spring go?? Well, to comfort us this week in the chilly, drizzly weather I'm going down home with my adaptation of my Mama Glee's meatloaf recipe. My Organic Meat Loaf has organic lean ground beef with a wonderful mixture of organic chicken broth, tomato paste, Worchestershire sauce, and breadcrumbs to keep the meatloaf moist. It is topped with a sweet ketchup mixture that my Mama Glee is famous for!

My guys have been begging me to make their favorite homemade Crusty Macaroni & Cheese and it goes perfectly with this meatloaf. This has a smooth, creamy cheese sauce made with White Cheddar and Gruyere topped with Panko bread crumbs. 

To get our  veggies in with this meal we'll go Up Town with a Bistro Salad. This is a yummy, simple salad with fresh herbs and an amazing champagne vinaigrette dressing.

Please let me know by Saturday, May 4th if you want in on next week's order.

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.

Please let me know by Saturday, April 6th if you want in on next week's delivery!
