Saving Dinner 2014 week 12 Classic for 6

Day 1.  Citrus roasted chicken.  Good.  Would smash the rosemary more and use a bit less of it.

Day 2.  Beef and Tortilla casserole.  Tastes good.  Looks kind of gross, so not a for company dish.  Might look better if done puree the tomato and sour cream parts.

Day 2.  Red Bell pepper soup.  I made a half recipe and it would still feed 6 people.  Tastes good.  I froze the leftovers.  Haven't used it yet.

Didn't do Day 4 or 5.

Day 6.  Eggplant Marinara with Penne Pasta.  Really good.  Easy to make.  Feeds an army - easily 8 to 12.  Good the next day too.  Froze the leftovers, haven't used them yet.

Saving Dinner Menu Mailer Paleo Vol 2 week 4 2014

I'm doing the menu-mailer again, thanks to my mom and sister :-).  One of the frustrating things about using this in the past is remembering which recipes were well liked and would be good to make again.  Since I have the menus and grocery lists downloaded to my computer, I just need somewhere to list what was good and why, and any changes.  So I'm going to try putting it here (then Mom and Hannah can see what I liked).  Here goes.

Day 4 - Lamb Ginger meatballs.  Good, not too complicated.  I used ground turkey and served with egg noodles.  I used soy sauce, regular flour and honey.

Day 1 - Fish with Mexican Slaw.  Spicy.  Wouldn't make for the kids, but Brian liked and used the leftover (slaw) on eggs several times.

Day 2 - Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry.  Okay.  If I made it again, I'd use shredded bagged cabbage for making cole slaw.  Storing the Cabbage in the fridge and then only needed half was a pain.

Day 5 - Honey Orange Pork Tenderloin.  Very moist for pork.  Everyone ate it up, including the baked butternut squash.

Day 6 - Spiced Roast Chicken.  Isabele said she'd eat the leftovers for lunch.  (Isabele hates leftovers)  Definitely would do this again.

I didn't make the day 3 recipe - Garlic Herb Slathered Prime Rib.
