Weekly Meals 6/4

We went strawberry picking this week, so guess what featured in all our recipes?

I started off by making Strawberry Jam because I was going to need it for some other recipes. It worked really well, but I wish it called for less sugar…I’ll probably cut the amount of sugar in half next time.

This morning for breakfast we had these PB&J smoothies. Hubs thought it wasn’t sweet enough and added sugar and more strawberries. I liked it as is though, I don’t need as much sugar as he does.

Also had this Ricotta & Strawberry Toast which was pretty good. We used a tangerine/strawberry marmalade, and it was perfect with the rest.

We’ve had this Strawberry Banana Bread before and it was amazing, so we decided this was the perfect time to make it again.

I made this Farro Caprese Salad which was pretty decent, but I over salted the farro a little. Definitely didn’t need as much, especially since it’s made with pesto.

This Strawberry Grilled Cheese would have been amazing if I hadn’t burnt some of it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I over toasted one side, but the flavor was good other than that.

Strawberry Balsamic Baked Wings had excellent flavor, but I think I’d do it a little differently. I’d like to do a straight double air fry instead of baking and then just toss them in the sauce at the end.

Last but not least I made these Strawberry Balsamic Glazed Meatballs. They were definitely the best, most well-rounded item of the day and that’s something I look forward to eating for the rest of the week. After I took the picture I threw some rice in the bowls and were ready to go!

All in all not a bad haul, plus a few snack size bags of fresh strawberries for snacks.

Weekly Meals for the week of 3/26/23

So for no reason at all, this week I decided to go with a *mostly* German theme.

Breakfast is not German, it’s these yummy PB Cup Overnight Oats. I’ve been making these for years and they’re always just a scrumptious way to start the day.

We made these Frikadellen, German burgers that we have never tried before. Had them on Kaiser rolls, very simple, but turned out pretty good. I cooked them in a pan, but that was getting the outside dark and not finishing the inside so I threw them in the oven til they got up to temp.

Served them with potatoes I know Alex likes, this Hot Potato Salad. I also made 2 veggie dishes that I know Alex won’t eat, this Cucumber Salad that I love, and this Broccoli Quinoa Salad that I’ve never tried before. Worked out pretty well, some good flavor. I wish there was a little more texture, I thought the pistachios would add more crunch but they didn’t.

I also prepped some Apple Glazed Chicken Breasts, although I baked it instead of grilling even though it was nice outside, I didn’t want the hassle of going outside for one of the pieces I was cooking.

I had Schnitzel on the plan and we bought the groceries for it, but I ended up not cooking it, just ran out of time.

So that’s it! Lots of good things, some new some tried and true.
