Another Menu

I’m glad that I posted the last menu because it is easy to go back and figure out what we’ve eaten recently. Here is the menu from this last go around:

Southwestern Lasagna
Tater Tot Casserole
Homemade Mac & Cheese
Greek Chicken Pasta
Debbie’s Lasagna
Tacos
Spiced Pork Chops
New England Corn Chowder
Skillet fish w/Tomato
Asian Beef & Broccoli

Skillet Fish with Tomato and Feta

Skillet Fish with Tomato and Feta
http://www.savingdinner.com

Serves 6
6 cod fillets (or other firm white fish)
4 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and pepper, to taste
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups Feta cheese, crumbled

On a dinner plate, combine flour and salt and pepper to taste. Dredge fish in mixture. Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium high-heat.  Brown fish well on both sides, then arrange in an 8-inch square baking dish.  Add remaining oil to the skillet and cook the onion and garlic till soft. Add the tomatoes (with juice) and spices, then salt and pepper again. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer to reduce the sauce, about 10 minutes. In the meantime, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Pour sauce over fish, sprinkle Feta over the top and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.

Split Pea Soup

I found this very easy crock pot recipe for split pea soup from my friend and yours, Flylady. Here is the recipe. I cooked a ham last Sunday and used some of the leftovers in the soup. As she recommends, it is best served with grilled cheese sandwiches or some Rhodes dinner rolls. Since you would be starting the soup early it is easy to set the rolls out to thaw and rise at the same time. Chris always likes to crunch up some saltines in his bowl and also adds some cracked pepper. Enjoy!

Menu for the next couple of weeks

In order to streamline my grocery shopping I’ve been trying to get a full two-weeks worth of groceries all in one shot. The menu sometimes lasts a little longer if there is a left-over night or if we go out to eat. It is nice, however, to have everything we need in the cupboard.
