Week 7 2014 Menu

Hi everyone!

We had a rough weekend. Amelia was sick throughout so I didn't sleep much. Will did plan a wonderful Vday dinner for us - oysters and king crab legs. Saturday, we hung around with the girls and prepped for a brunch that we were hosting on Sunday. Then yesterday, our offices were closed for President's day, so Will and I went to see Monument's Men. I thought it was good. Will hated it, though.

Here's this week's menu- nothing too elaborate, except I'm really excited to try Lou's Chicken Marbella recipe.

Monday - Rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes
Tuesday - Leftovers (or Will has to fend for himself - I have a class at CrossTown Fitness to check out!)
Wednesday - Chancho en pepsi-cola (a Yoli recipe, I'll save the breakdown for another time if we haven't shared on here already)
Thursday - Beth's Poblano Pepper Tacos
Friday - Chicken Marbella
Saturday - Shrimp tacos (or something like that)

By the way, for the brunch, I made two types of breakfast casseroles - one vegetarian, one not - , along with steel cut oats. I'd never made steel cut oats before, but really recommend them! Much heartier than the quick cook stuff and it's the exact same product.

The vegetarian breakfast casserole came out amazing so I really recommend it:

Mediterranean Breakfast Casserole
cubed challah bread
eggs
milk
cottage cheese
feta cheese
basil, chiffonade
jarred roasted red bell peppers, chopped

preheat oven to 375
lay the cubed challah bread in the casserole dish and sprinkle the feta cheese and roasted bell pepper on top
whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese and pour over bread mixture in casserole dish
top with basil
bake in the oven until it starts to brown on top and is no longer wobbly if you jiggle it (super scientific metric, nbd)

Also - these are my sous-chefs:
