What have you made for dinner this week?
At the Eberhardt House, we've had
Grilled Chicken with Rice & Veggies
and Butternut Squash Soup
As you can see, I'm a big soup fan, especially during the winter months. It's an easy way to pack in extra veggies and makes for a great lunch the next day. Add a good side salad and maybe a slice of bread and I'm a happy girl.
I have had this request from a few people and I think it's a great idea!
Steve Avery set up an initial CFSV food blog. I have the link to the right in the "Quick Links" section. Many of you have great recipes that you make often or others want. So please, send me some of your favorites or "go-tos" and I'll post them for us all to enjoy!
One of our favorites this week has been grilled chicken fajitas. We use whole wheat tortillas and top the chicken with lots of grilled peppers and onions, cilantro and a little sour cream. We've also had Asian chicken stir fry with brown rice and lots of veggies as well as chicken tortilla soup. We love soups too :) One of our favorite breakfast recipes is whole wheat oatmeal pancakes with blueberries. http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2009/09/oatmeal-pancake-mix.html It's really quick b/c you make the mix ahead of time. They are really yummy and filling.
ReplyDeleteThis has been so much fun, great challenge Miki! We have had Chicken Enchiladas (thanks Dangerfields!), Pork Loin with broccoli, Tilapia with butternut squash, and tonight is Spinach and Parmesan stuffed Chicken with asparagus. We also made a spinach, red pepper and mushroom frittata that we have had all week for breakfast, it's awesome with cottage cheese (sorry Steve Avery).
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, save the large curds for me!!!

ReplyDeleteFor dinners, we have had Flank Steak Fajitas, Cauliflower soup with salad and breadsticks, Thai Peanut Chicken and Pasta chocked full of veggies (this is the BOMB!!) Honey Lime Shrimp over rice with carrot fries and tomorrow we will be having loaded baked sweet potatoes!!
My wife has made homemade chili. It is the best... The good thing is that she made enough to eat all week. So really nothing else to report on... Tonight is a different food, I'm excited,,,,,More left overs
ReplyDeleteI've made this week:
ReplyDelete--Chicken and Brown Rice dish in the crockpot
--Steak fajitas
--Chicken Soup in the crockpot (forgot to add the noodles at the end)
--Browned chicken over a great salad with veggies
--A Bitchin' Chili (simmering right now!)
Crockpot cooking is awesome, but I can't wait for it to warm up some so I can start grilling again!!! (no cottage cheese involved in any dish recipe, Laura. lol)
Oh, I have a really good smoothie recipe (nothing special, but good!) that I drink in the morning. Could also be a good Recovery drink! Good amount of whey protein for quick absorption into the muscles.
DeleteWell...thanks to my awesome husband and son, we have had what they've cooked. Traveling makes this challenge pretty tough...but I bet they are cooking up some more great dishes! So far we have had cedar plank salmon [no regards to CF Planks :)], steak, marinated chicken, egg sandwiches, and leftovers. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteGreat "challenge" for us this week as we plan out meals every Saturday anyway. This week we enjoyed chicken enchiladas with the Mathews, 2 baked chickens and augrautin potatoes, chicken and bacon sandwiches (with the left over chicken), vegi stirfry (with the leftover chicken) and enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. So glad last weeks challenge is over:) Wait til you hear what the kids have been doing for their lunches, they are rockin it!
ReplyDeleteI liked this challenge too because I am the worst at planning out meals for the week. Breakfast was a no brainer because I literally eat exactly the same thing every morning. Berries and Kashi wheat biscuits and 1% milk. I am so boring but I love how healthy I feel after eating it. Lost 10 point because we are eating out saturday night for my dad's birthday. I do love Red Lobster so I guess it's worth taking the hit. Sorry team, but I love my dad more than you. ;}
ReplyDeletefood. um. enchiladas. pasta. salmon. && i can't remember the rest.
ReplyDeleteOn Sundays I usually make a couple of meals for the whole week. This week I made a chicken stir-fry and homemade chili.
ReplyDeleteFood was the easy part of the week for me... pull ups, push ups, plank, etc. not so much!!! Our menu for the week has been, chicken enchiladas, breakfast for dinner, hawaiian haystacks, spaghetti, grilled turkey sandwiches with tomato soup, & taco soup.
ReplyDeleteSourdough bread, Pub enchiladas, dill pesto penne with citrus salmon (baked), linguine and veggie red sauce, chicken & bacon sandwiches. The abundant leftovers packed by my smoke'n hot wife along with fruits n veggies makes lunchtime oh so fun. Ez peasy challenge.
ReplyDeleteBacon and eggs
ReplyDeleteGrilled chicken veggies
Spaghetti squash turkey meatballs
Jalapeno burgers wraps with sweet potatoes
Steak and sweet potatoes
I ♥ sweet potatoes
Favorite easy meal: Coconut milk, Thai Kitchen green curry paste, meat, stir fry veggies. YUM.

I took Vacation so I could eat at home this week:
ReplyDeleteTurkey Burger Patties, Salad
Salmon, Green Beans, 1 Red potato
Chicken Breast, strawberries
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Turkey, Carrots, Peas
Tonight Saturday Chichken Salad
It was a good challenge but next week it should be to eat out every meal and lose weight.
Wow, that's dedication Kuder!
DeleteHahaha Kuder, I agree! That would be a great challenge! Eating out and still being able to make good food choices. I think you, at least, deserve the award for being the most dedicated this week ;)
DeleteWhat a great week! Thank you Miki, I needed this challenge!
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti Squash with meat sauce,
Taco Salad,
Roast Chicken with veggies,
Petite Pork Chops with apples and roasted asparagus,
Sirloin Steak with roasted veggies.
Tonight I put burgers on the menu, but we might just eat up the left overs instead.
And I sent pictures of my dinner to my team almost every day. I'm pretty sure they're super happy 'bout that!
Loved it!
DeleteI loved seeing your food! It helped keep me on track those nights when I was thinking, hmmm maybe the guys could eat out and I can just eat a smoothie real quick! We love to cook so it was actually great to have my boys helping me, and my one boy enjoyed your food pics as much as I did :)
DeleteI ate dinner every night so it's hard to choose what one to choose from! My favorite meal so far has probably been egg sandwiches! Gotta love 'em!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed homemade spaghetti sauce with chicken meatballs, sweet potatoes and chicken in the crock pot, honey lime shrimp, and a new homemade sloppy joe recipe with ground turkey.

ReplyDeleteThis week we've had pan Pan noodles, fried up with chicken and veggies; spaghetti with ficken and salad; chicken coconut curry; and of course, a bunch of left overs. There's also endless green smoothies and fruit and homemade granola (thanks Charise) with soy milk. This is the best challenge, personally. I don't really like eating out, so this has been fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the granola!
DeleteI've enjoyed a variety of delicious homemade meals this week, my favorites being chicken enchiladas, chicken bacon sandwiches, pesto pasta with salmon, and stir fry! So good!
