Wednesday: Butter beans (taking them to Wed night Church supper)

@chrisnjay05212010 I wish DH liked lamb. We eat all kinds of wild game, but he says lamb tastes very gamey. We had it at a nice Greek restaurant in Atlanta the night we got engaged! I am encouraging him to try it again, but I don't think he will.

@GABride2010- typically my DH is not a fan but for some reason he enjoys the little lamb chops, im not sure if its b/c its such a small amount of meat that you cook them more rare so they are still tender. He hates regular gyros! They are also very pricey so i ONLY buy them when i see them on mark down. Our grocery store will mark down meat on Fridays to sell it so if i see it on sale i usually grab it and then make it right away. Its far and few between so that might break it up for him.

GABride2010 · October 2014

I may have to just make them one night and see if he likes it! How do you season them? Do you marinate them?

chrisnjay05212010 · October 2014

You should!! I marinate them for an hour or so, depends how much time i have. Here is the marinade

1/4c vinegar
2tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp garlic minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
2 T olive oil
Chopped dried onions

Mix ingredients together and add chops. I had about 11 chops. Marinate for a bit. Grill 3 mins per side.

Last night my grill ran out of gas. So i pan fried them in 2 Tbsp olive oil for 2-3 mins a side and then put them in the oven at 400º for 5 mins. They came out just as good!

GABride2010 · October 2014

@chrisnjay05212010 That sounds delicious. I will definitely have to try that sometime soon!

Tonight we're having mac and cheese with broccoli and sun dried tomatoes. DH will be on a business trip all week so I'll be eating through those leftovers and some chicken soup from last week.

GEOG · October 2014

My DH is also not a fan of lamb! must be a conspiracy or something

Sunday - Fish with wild rice and salad

Monday - Soup from the freezer (we have so many!) and bread

Tuesday - Sausages with cheddar, broccoli and barley sweet potatoes

Wednesday - Stir fry

Thursday - Out

Friday - Out

Saturday - Lasagna

Are you heading anywhere special @bluebirdMB ?

GABride2010 · October 2014

@GEOG what kinds of soup do you have?

BlueBirdMB · October 2014

We have the whole week off. 4 days up in Quebec City, then home. I have a meeting in Boston, but it's brief and hubby and I will hang out in the city the rest of the day. Then it's Halloween and we're actually going to a party (we haven't participated in Halloween in years!). I. Can't. Wait.

Sounds great!!! Enjoy

Thanks!

GEOG · October 2014

I LOVE Quebec City! It's such an amazing place. The Old Town is so hilly I justify eating everything in sight since you get such a workout walking around. Enjoy your time off @BlueBirdMB

GEOG · October 2014

Hey @GABride2010, we currently have these soups in our freezer:

Acorn Squash Soup (delicious! We made it for a crowd and everyone was raving about it)

Southwestern Sweet Potato Soup (It's got a nice little kick to it)

Curried Chicken and Rice (I good one, it's interesting that they puree the rice, I had never seen that before)

GABride2010 · October 2014

@GEOG Thanks for sharing those recipes with me! I will definitely have to try those soon!

BlueBirdMB · October 2014

@GEOG I 100% agree- eating is totally justified because of the walking! I've been there before, but H hasn't and he's in for treat! I've already planned out our eating adventures lol
