Happy Spring?!

For Delivery Tuesday, March 26th

Spring is here, but it sure doesn't feel like it. So, in anticipation of those warmer, sunnier days our menu this week will be all about Spring! We'll start off with Chicken Salad Croissants . These sandwiches have an amazing chicken salad filling. I start off with diced seasoned roasted chicken breast and add in pecans and walnuts, fresh herbs, and green grapes pulled together with a wonderful dressing of light sour cream, greek yogurt, and just a touch of light mayo.

As a second option for your sandwich (I'm thinking about the kids here), I will also offer  Ham and Cheese Croissants. These sandwiches have Applegate Farms Natural Deli Ham (Whole Foods) and Havarti cheese as their filling. I would recommend Dijon mustard and lettuce also - so have some on hand! I will be giving you a combined total of 6 sandwiches.When you order you let me know how many of each type of sandwich you would like (i.e. 3 Chicken Salad and 3 Ham & Cheese/or/4 Chicken Salad and 2 Ham & Cheese). You get the idea :-)

Along side the sandwiches I will give you the most amazing Lemon Roasted Potatoes. These scream Spring! Super yummy yukon gold potatoes with a dressing of olive oil, fresh lemon juice and zest, fresh dill and garlic. 

I will include a large bunch of fresh Grapes so if the kids order the Ham & Cheese they can get their fruit with dinner.

We have to have dessert with this meal! Brownies just seem to be the perfect choice. So, I'll be making up some batches of my Insanely Good Fudge Brownies for you.

Dinner's Done!

 

  

 

 

 

 

Here's How It Works

Thought I would re-post how Dinner's Done! works:
 An email is sent out every Thursday evening (usually by 9:00pm) with the menu for the next week. If you want in on the meal for delivery the next Tuesday you send me an email by Saturday evening. I email you back letting you know I have you down. Delivery every week is on Tuesdays. We only deliver in the Clemmons area. I send out a reminder email on Monday to put your cooler (with ice as weather begins to get warmer) and payment out on the front porch. That's it! The meal is the same price every week. Delivery is usually between 4:30-6:00. I hope this helps answer some logistical questions, especially if you are new to Dinner's Done!

In a nut shell:
Every week - 
Thursday - menu is sent out
Saturday - deadline for letting me know if you want in
Monday - reminder email sent out by me so you will put out cooler/payment
Tuesday - delivery between 4:30 - 6:00 (meal is waiting for you in your cooler when you get home)

Second Helpings For Sure

For Delivery on Tuesday, March 19th

Scoot up to the table and expect that your crew will want seconds and maybe even thirds of this flavorful and yummy soup. I know a few of you are soup skeptics..........but, even my picky soup eaters LOVE this one. A dear friend of mine who recently moved back to Texas gave me this recipe and it is a real winner. We're going organic this week -- Organic Pasta e Fagioli soup is chock full of amazing flavor. It is not a heavy meat soup (just a little pancetta), yet the beans and pasta make it very hearty, with lots of fresh herbs, veggies, and chicken stock. I'll serve it up with some Fresh Grated Parmesan and plenty of Warm Crusty Bread.

This soup begs for a great salad to go along with it - the Spinach Strawberry Salad w/ Candied Pecans, Feta, & Raspberry Poppyseed Dressing  will fit the bill. My kids like it with Ranch Dressing so make sure and have some on hand.

Carolina BBQ With A Twist

For Delivery Tuesday, March 12th

This week I am serving up some slow cooked Apple BBQ Pork Sandwiches. This pork is dry rubbed and marinated overnight then cooked slow with a wonderful combination of spices, apple juice, and apple cider for a sweet, smoky flavor.

 For a bit of a twist, I'm serving this along with a super healthy Broccoli Slaw Salad . The salad has dried cranberries and walnuts (on the side for my nut-sensitive families!) along with a greek yogurt (no mayo), dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and agave nectar (no sugar) dressing.

When having BBQ we can't live without a few Hushpuppies!



I'll also include some amazing Veggie Chips These are a great alternative to regular potato chips, but have great flavor and wonderful crunch. They are perfect with this meal and I promise your kids will love them!

Tinga Time!

For Delivery Tuesday, March 5th

Chicken Tinga Tostadas
w/fixings: refried beans, shredded lettuce, homemade Texas salsa, sour cream, , and cheese
Green Chili-Lime TexMati Rice
Fresh Fruit Salad
($35)

As many of you know, I was in Texas over the last two weeks helping out my mom and family during her illness. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. She is doing amazingly well! Sorry we had to have such a long break in me getting your weekly meal to you. I'm really going to reward you this week with an amazing meal!

Speaking of Texas, we are going for true authentic Mexican flavor with our meal next week!  Chicken Tinga Tostadas are a wonderful build-your-own meal. What is Tinga you ask? Shredded chicken breast with a smoky tomato, chipotle-chili sauce. You'll start with freshly made tostada shells, and load them up with the shredded chicken tinga, refried beans, salsa, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. You can add any or all the toppings! Kids love the refried beans and chicken with cheese. I would also highly recommend adding avacado on top.

To serve along side the tostados will be  Green Chili -Lime TexMati Rice. I have been thrilled to hear how many of you love this rice!

While you're getting the meal on the table, you can set out some Fresh Fruit for everyone to munch on or have it as dessert! The fresh fruit will  include strawberries, blueberries and pineapple.


Please let me know by Saturday, March 2nd if you want to be included in next week's delivery.

Food is Love

This week there will be lots of love going around! These Slow Roasted BBQ Chicken Tenders have an amazing BBQ sauce with hints of apple cider vinegar, garlic and brown sugar - yum.

 For the sides, I'm going back to my farm girl roots and making up a big batch of Home-style Green Beans, these have a little red onion, garlic, and lemon zest to give real depth of flavor. The Baked Cinnamon Apples are great with the BBQ chicken. What is better than a side dish that can also be dessert! 

 The Cheddar-Herb Biscuits need no explanation - they are that good.

Cozy Up!

For delivery Tuesday, Feb. 5th

This is one the kids are going to LOVE! My guys begged me to make this next week, so here we go. We’re cozying up with Baked Potato Soup.  This soup is made with russet potatoes, organic whole milk (no cream), organic white cheddar cheese, and organic greek yogurt. I use a very small amount of flour and butter to thicken, so this is a creamy and slightly chunky soup that taste rich, but isn’t. I’ll send along toppings of: crispy potato skins (instead of bacon!!) these are wonderful with a little sea salt and cracked pepper, extra sharp cheddar cheese, and green onions.

 

 Next on the menu is a super healthy and colorful Winter Fruit Salad with Citrus and Honey dressing . This salad has kiwi, red grapes, fresh pineapple, orange sections, and pomegranate seeds. The dressing is made with orange juice, lemon juice, honey and vanilla. Finally, I am offering your choice of Whole Food’s Cracked Pepper Bread or sourdough rolls.
