Going Tex-Mex Big Time

For delivery, Tuesday, January 29th

 I am so excited about this menu! Tex-Mex food is my specialty and this one will really take you south of the border. I make this Chicken Tamale Casserole when I am craving tamales that I had all the time in restaurants growing up in Texas. Homemade tamales are very time consuming, but this casserole is an easy swap for the more traditional tamales. Even better is this is an adapted recipe of mine from Cooking Light that comes in at about 350 calories per serving!! On the side, is a Smoky Chipotle Coleslaw that is super tasty. It has a wonderful smoky, sweet dressing that really stands out with chipotle, adobo sauce, and honey in it. This is also a light, healthy salad. I really want to give you flavorful, yummy food that is good for you.

Finally, I couldn't call this a Tex-Mex meal without including Rhonda's Texas Pinto Beans. I slow cook these overnight (no canned beans here) and add onion, jalapeno, garlic and seasonings with green salsa for amazing flavor. This is what leftovers are all about!

Healthy Comfort Food

For delivery, Tuesday, January 22nd

We're going old school with a healthy take on my grandmother's baked spaghetti recipe. Healthy Baked Spaghetti   is still so comforting and delicious, but good for you! That's my kind of comfort food. Made with organic lean ground beef, whole wheat pasta (don't worry you won't be able to tell the difference - I promise), a little green pepper, onion, and basil really give it some veggie goodness. I chop it up very small so even my kids don't realize it's in there! Great seasoning and about half the cheese my sweet grandma uses and it comes in at about 325 calories a serving! Along side this spaghetti I'm giving you a wonderful Caesar Salad with homemade Caesar dressing, fresh Parmesan cheese shavings, and sourdough croutons. This is one good salad, let me tell you. Kids usually really like this one. This dinner will easily give you leftovers as it serves 6-8 with pretty large portions.

Soup and Salad Night

January 10, 2013

We're lightening up the menu this week a bit with a great tasting, super good for you soup. The star of the show is a Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo featuring thyme-scented, thick, lemony broth, delicate orzo, and meaty chunks of roasted chicken.

We need a great salad to go along with this soup and I have just the thing.  Iceberg Lettuce Wedges with Bacon-Gorgonzola Dressing. This salad is simple yet divine with the cool crispness of the lettuce paired with sharp, creamy dressing, topped off with turkey bacon crumbles. You can assemble this yourself and add as much or as little dressing and bacon as you  like. 

We will round out this meal with some wonderful Grilled Ciabatta Bread.

Great Start to a New Year

January 3, 2013

Delivery on Tuesday, Jan. 8th

Happy New Year friends! This week's menu will help get you through this first week of 2013 for sure. I am going low and slow with some amazing Pulled Pork Burritos. This one takes a while to cook, so I'll have the patience and you get to enjoy. The pork will be rubbed with a blend of mexican seasonings and roasted along with carrots, celery, and red onions for a great stock to make the sauce for the pork. I have two great sides that can be used to stuff your burritos or if you just want to fill yours with meat, cheese and salsa and eat them on the side that works too! The Cilantro-Lime-Green Chile Rice is the perfect side dish or addition to the burrito. This Black Bean Salad is to die for. It has a great little dressing of spices, limes and olive oil mixed with black beans, corn, bell pepper, red onion,  cherry tomatoes, avocados and cilantro. For the vegetarian or vegan in your family this salad along with the rice will make a wonderfully full meal - so everyone will be happy!

Also included will be one of my favorite salads for this time of year, Fresh Greens w/ Raspberry Roquefort Vinaigrette. This salad has dried cranberries, green onions, and an amazing homemade dressing. We'll round out the meal with French Bread! I hope you will find this  just what you need to get you through this next week before Christmas as you are busy getting ready.

The Full Meal Deal

We're kicking it up a few notches this week with a dinner you won't want to miss! I am pulling out my dear mom's amazing recipe for Garlic-Lemon-Rosemary Pork Tenderloin. It is marinated overnight in this wonderful aromatic combination with olive oil. This is so good that I will hope you have leftovers for a pork sandwich the next day. Super Buttered Noodles are a great side dish to go along with the pork. This is one of the few dishes that we all agree we could eat every week. They are made with wide egg noodles, a little butter and sour cream and seasoned to perfection; topped off with some Parmesan cheese. Finally, so you can have your veggies too we'll include a healthy and delicious Broccoli, Grape and Walnut Salad. This salad has a tangy sweet dressing that really pops. I love to keep this in the fridge and eat it for lunch all week.

We're Off and Running

The first week of meal prep went great! Thanks so much to those who ordered meals and hopefully had a stress-free night with their family enjoying dinner with no clean-up. I got a lot of positive feedback about the portions (most of you said it was more than enough and you had left overs!). Love to hear that some of the kids who didn't think they liked beans and rice are now converts!! The salsa was a little too spicy, so I will tame that down a bit. Sorry, I know some of you don't have my Texas taste for the spicy hot. I also just got some very hot jalapenos at the market that week! What's next........... I am making up batches of my yummy California Turkey Chili. It is wonderful on its own, but also very versatile. You can serve it over pasta, on baked potatoes, in tortillas, whatever floats your boat. I am also offering a vegetarian option that will have carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms instead of turkey. Both of these will have all organic ingredients! To go along with the chili, you will get Mama Glee's Cornbread Muffins. Deliveries will be on Tuesdays from now on, as the consensus seems to be that we need meals at the beginning of the week rather than at the end of the week. Take a look at what's cooking for delivery on December 4th and let me know if you want in! We also have a wonderful dessert being offered this week - you won't want to miss this. Triple Chocolate Pound Cake (Chocolate Pound Cake with Chocolate Chips topped with Chocolate Ganache). I can't think of a better gift for teachers, co-workers, or neighbors. It's also a great thing to have on hand to take to all those holiday gatherings. We are even selling it by the slice so you can order just a piece or two to have for dessert with your meal.

For delivery Tuesday, December 4th

No Hustle and Bustle Dinner

California Turkey Chili w/ Mama Glee's Cornbread Muffins- $35
California Veggie Chili w/Mama Glee's Cornbread Muffins - $32

As always this will serve 4-6. I tend to make large portions, so you will probably have leftovers!

Optional Toppings: chopped green onions, white cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, sour cream - $5
Triple Chocolate Pound Cake - $3 per slice/$20 whole cake
