Enjoy this weekly meal plan so you can focus on the man you love. Monday: Beef Stroganoff Tuesday: Baked russet or sweet potatoes Wednesday: Cream of vegetable soup Thursday: Baked salmon and broccoli Friday: Date night, kids get Pad Thai from a box w/ added broccoli and scrambled eggs Saturday: Leftovers or eat out with the family Sunday: Game day sloppy joes I usually go shopping on Monday after everyone is off to school and work. Sunday, after lunch or dinner, I grab my notebook and pen and ask HubbyHubby what he'd like to have for the weeks dinners and lunches. The kiddos chime in too. I take all suggestions into consideration along with what we already have in the freezer, what's in season, after school activities, and what's on sale. Hubbyhubby loves to make meatballs and
sauce with me on Sundays. He pours two glasses of wine and makes a nice charcuterie board of salami, cheese and olives. We snack, drink wine and cook together. Here's what you'll need: 1/4 cup lard or coconut oil 1/2 onion chopped 4 cloves garlic chopped 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning or fresh oregano, rosemary, thyme, savory, marjoram and basil finely chopped 1 bay leaf 2 jars crushed tomatoes 2 jars chopped tomatoes 1 tube tomato paste Here's what to do: Saute onions in lard or oil until soft in an8 quart stock pot Add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrent Stir in tomato paste and Italian seasoning, salt and pepper Stir in crushed tomatoes and chopped tomatoes Stir in 4 cups water Bring to a boil then turn down and simmer for 3 or until desired consistency. If you are short on time add less water. Next: 3 pounds of grass fed ground beef or any combination of ground beef, veal, pork, lamb 1/2 cup Italian parsley chopped 1/2 onion and 4 cloves of garlic chopped and sauteed until soft, set aside to cool (in a pinch use 2 teaspoons dried garlic and dried onion) 3/4 cup of Pecorino Romano cheese 2 eggs lightly beaten 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper lard or coconut oil Here's what to do: In a large skillet melt enough lard or oil to come up 1/2 way on the pan Mix all of the above ingredients together. Form meatballs and cook until brown on the outside, but uncooked on the inside. After each meatball browns drop into the hot sauce. This cooks the inside. What domestic task can you turn into romantic date time? Enjoy and be in health. This recipe was adapted with love from my grandma Anna Ciccarelli Chicken stock is so very, very healthy for HubbyHubby and the whole family.
On a cold winter day, I heat it up and add whatever veggies I have on hand for a quick nutrient dense meal. Here's what you need:
Here's what to do: In a large stock pot place the chicken and cover with cold water. Add the vinegar and let sit for 1/2 hour. This pulls out the minerals and calcium. Next add all the veggies except for the parsley. Bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook, covered for 6 to 24 hours. About 10 minutes before the stock is done, add the parsley. This adds extra minerals to the stock. Adapted from Nourishing Traditions. |
