This week was full of them!
Sunday: I was not a fan of the Teriyaki Salmon. To be fair, I am not a huge salmon fan to begin with. I didn't make the steamed broccoli, instead I put the zucchini and shallots on the side instead of over the top of the salmon. I did like those, and they had also been teriyaki-fied, so I really am thinking I just didn't like the salmon. In my other salmon recipe (a butter/lemon/garlic blend) the fishy flavor is better hidden.
Monday: Monday was not Chicken Pot Pie, as intended. Monday was frozen pizza night because I realized that I didn't have enough time to make the Pot Pie before Chris had to go to sleep (he had been waking up at 3am for the exercise each day). Chris had a four cheese Freschetta pizza, which is what we usually share. I had a DiGiorno Tomato and Cheese 200 Calorie Portion instead. It was actually pretty good! However, I am a thick crust kind of girl, so I may or may not have later gone and cut the crust off of a piece leftover from Chris's pizza to have as a snack.
Tuesday: I did end up making KombatKween's Chicken Pot Pie this night. It was a hit as always. I love this meal. I detailed a variation of it in this post on my other blog last year. Any way you spin it, this recipe produces delicious results.
Wednesday: Wednesday I went ahead and tried Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich from the Pioneer Woman. This was a hit for Chris and a miss for me. I decided on this last weekend because I found some neglected cube steak in my freezer, and I usually love PW's recipes, but this...this just didn't do it for me. With the Lawry's and the Worcestershire, the saltiness was out of this world, and I don't even think I used that much. Chris loved it though, and it is supposed to be more of a man pleasin' recipe than anything, so it did it's job!
Thursday: Leftovers night. More Pot Pie? Yes, please!
Friday: Yesterday ended up being our Polish Sausage night. I wrote below what happened with that. Chris fell asleep before dinner, I fell asleep while he was asleep and woke up starving. I didn't want to take the time to cut up and saute potatoes, but I didn't have sour cream for baked potatoes. So, instead of a side of steamed broccoli, it went into the potatoes, and I whipped up a quick cheese sauce to go over it. The potatoes were great, and we hadn't had Polish Sausage in a long time. It was a hit for both of us, and so quick and easy!
Saturday: Tonight is Ryan's Shrimp Risotto from PW. I don't know if I'll be making the spinach salad because I forgot to hard boil some eggs, and I don't know that I want to wait for them to cook and cool. I'm so impatient these days! I'll be back with a review and a menu plan for the upcoming week after dinner.
