A Return to the Favorites {Menu Planning Monday}

August 23, 2010

My inlaws will be staying with us this week (hip, hip, hooray for reinforcements!!) and I’ve decided that we will use this last full week of August to revisit and enjoy some of our favorite meals of the Summer.  The best thing about these recipes is that they are not only scrumptious but healthy!  (and, in case you need further endorsements . . . The Little Lady and Mr. Boy both gobbled each of these main dishes UP!)

Monday:

Grilled Mushroom and Tomato Basil Panini

(this is an original creation we ate a few weeks ago — need to write up the recipe!!!)

Tuesday:

Practically Guilt Free Hotdogs with Grilled Veggies

(Originally from the menu, Planning Meals & Giving Away Prizes.  This is our new favorite method for preparing hot dogs.)

Wednesday:

Broccoli and Ravioli with Pesto Sauce

(Originally from the menu, Menu-Planning Monday The Healthy Way.  Everyone in our family LOVED this and it’s a FABULOUS way to get in some green veggies!)

Thursday:

Crock-pot Thom Kha Gai Soup

(Originally from the menu, Let’s Thai This One More Time .   This soup turned out soooo good, but it still wasn’t quite the same as what we get from our favorite Thai places.  I’m going to modify the original recipe; nothing too radical, but I do want to add a few ingredients that were missing.  I’ll let you know how it turns out and will share the updated recipe if it’s as good as I think it will be!)

Friday:

Shaved Asparagus Pizza

(Originally from the menu, Revisiting Food-Porn.  THIS is my new favorite pizza — it’s divine.)
