We have a busy week on tap, so the crockpot is definitely playing a major role!
Monday - Tilapia for Monday. I'm think just baked with a little lemon pepper and parsley. Nothing fancy, I would like to find some asparagus on-sale - but we'll have to see.
Tuesday - First of our crockpot recipe off the WW recipe review board:
Crockpot Steak San Marco
2 lbs lean stew meat
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 packet onion soup mix
1 tsp oregano
garlic powder to taste (all I had was garlic salt)
2 TB red wine vinegar
2 TB canola oil
Evenly distribute the meat in the crockpot. Mix other ingredients together and pour over meat. Cook low 8-10 hours
I will probably serve over noodles. I remember making this once a long time ago and liking it!
Wednesday - We've still never gotten around to those cube steaks in the freezer. This week I vow they will become chicken fried steak!
Thursday - The other appearance from the crockpot, also from the WW recipe review board:
Crockpot Chop Suey
2 skinless boneless chicken breasts -- halved
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger -- minced
1 cup celery -- sliced
5 ounces water chestnuts -- sliced and drained
1 onion -- sliced
2 cups chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup mushrooms -- sliced
1 pound bean sprouts -- drained
2 cups cooked brown rice
1. Cut chicken into strips about 2-inches long and 1/2 inch thick. 2. Place in crockpot with salt, ginger, celery, water chestnuts, onions, bouillon, and soy sauce. 3. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours. 4. Turn control to high. Add mushrooms and bean sprouts. Cover and cook on high 15 minutes. 5. Serve over hot rice.
I've never made this one - it sounds good!
Friday - I don't think the pork chops every really got made either - it's been too long since we had shake n' bake.
Saturday - I heard a rumor: it's suppose to be nice. FINALLY! I had this Unbelievable Chicken has made an appearance before - but never actually made it onto the table because it was too cold to actually grill. I HOPE THIS IS THE DAY!
Sunday - It's potluck at church. One of my "Cookin'" friends turning me on to this Rice A Roni Salad last year. It's very good and I haven't made it for awhile. I'll might try a dessert also - this yummy looking cake is yet again, from the WW Recipe Review board:
