Menu Plan Monday: I let my daughter pick
May 6, 2013
This is what the menu looks like when I ask for my daughter's input. Not bad on the days I have her. We're in the process of packing up for a move at the end of the month, so I'm trying to keep most meals to one skillet or so. Last week's menu bleeds into this week.
Monday: Asian Orange Chicken (I cheat and use Fresh and Easy Orange Peel Simmer Sauce and didn't bread the chicken (paleo friendlier) -- that makes this meal 30 minutes or less)
Tuesday: Skirt Steak with Arugula Salad - also 30 minutes or less
Wednesday: Leftovers for me
Thursday: Beef and Bean Chili Verde (she's finally getting tired of this one, but it's so quick and easy). Dessert of African Fruit Fool (adapted -- no papaya for me, no coconut for her, homemade whipped cream is the BEST)
Friday: More Chili Verde...
Saturday: Today is the day I planned to go to storage unit, clean crap out of it, load it with boxes that I won't need immediately. Perfect day to use the crock-pot and this recipe for Casablanca Chutney Chicken. Absolutely delish! And tastes better the next day. Serve over couscous (or not to keep it Paleo).
Sunday: It's Cinco de Mayo! Using one of the meals my father taught me -- Turkey (Chicken -- why can't I find turkey legs in the store anymore???!!!???) Mole with Spanish Rice
What are your favorite one pot meals?

Disney Cruise Line Recipe: Grilled Tuna with Truffle-Infused Potato Risotto
I loved dining at Palo, but did not try this particular meal. Now I need to go buy some tuna steaks and substitute in some Paleo friendly risotto. Don't forget steamed veggies on the side. And for mom, some Moscato :)

Risotto (adapted from Cynthia Underground)
Ingredients
-
Make the Cauliflower “Rice”. Using a food processor grind the fresh cauliflower until it is rice size.
-
Steam or Microwave for 5 Minutes.
-
Use a strainer if necessary to press out any addition liquid. Set Aside.
-
Saute the onion and garlic in the olive in a frying pan.
-
Add zucchini cook for 3 minutes.
-
Add “rice”, salt & pepper, cream and broth.
-
Cook until it starts to reduce approximately 8 min, add parm. cheese; stir.Voila, your done. Very easy. I like to toss some fresh chopped Italian (Flat Leaf) Parsley right on top before serving. This makes a great hearty main course dish.
