Post Your Weekly Menus ~ Part III

Sposa06 - this is the recipe I use for the stew. I buy the seitan but one of these days, I need to try making it.

Seitan mock beef stew

We either marinate then grill flank steak (also good in burritos/quesadillas), or we get NY strip or ribeye (for my husband- too fatty for me). For steak just to eat, we usually do it in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop/oven.

looch: do you have a recipe for the lemon shallot asparagus?

Our menu this week is so boring, I'll spare you all!

Those who've made French Dip...can I have the recipe that you used? I made French Dip this weekend and it was pretty good but I wanted to compare recipes and maybe change up a few things next time. Also what meat worked best? I used a Chuck roast but it wasn't as tender as I was hoping.

Thanks very much, larslobster! That sounds so good—I will have to try it soon! I need to try making my own seitan eventually, too. I've read several recipes for it, I just haven't taken the plunge yet.

I am writing my menu/grocery list right now, so I figured I'd share. I just plan for 7 meals in a week and cook whichever one sounds the best to me that day. We are trying to lose/maintain weight loss, so we eat a lot of stuff from cooking light.

Chicken and Couscous salad
Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Crema (There are not that many things that my 3 year old and 5 year old will both eat happily, but weirdly, this is one of them.
Caramelized chicken and sweet potatoes
Chicken broccoli casserole
Pesto chicken pasta
Chicken Tamale Casserole (another one that the whole family devours and is quick and easy)
Bean burritos
