Menu Plan Monday

This week is going to look a lot like last week because for some reason or another we skipped a few of the meals.  (I blame McDonalds for practically giving away their Southern Chicken Sandwich on Thursday.  It was free with a purchase of a drink.   After trying it I can see why they needed to give it away.  If I wanted a chicken sandwich that tasted like Chick-Fil-A then I would just go to Chick-Fil-A!  I don’t even like Chick-Fil-A that much anyway, so I’m annoyed that they tricked me into eating their knock-off.)

There were two new recipes that we did try last week that were AWESOME!!  The first one was a new stirfry recipe from Allrecipe.  The chicken was so moist and I know the secret is coating it with cornstarch.  Please don’t tell me that it is unhealthy because I really liked this and I don’t want to feel a bunch of guilt when I make it again. Oh yeah, this one will definitely be repeated often around here.  

Another recipe that we tried that was really easy and everyone loved was the Mexican Turkey Skillet. It was so good that I thought I’d share the recipe with you. 

**I printed this recipe months ago and it didn’t have the name of the website where I found it, so I can’t give a credit.  If you are the cooking genius that invented this delicious concoction, I’d love to know you and hug you and tell you how much I love you for your recipe writing skills.  How is that for a credit?**

 

Mexican Turkey Skillet

8 oz. shell pasta (cooked accord. to pkg. directions)
1 lb ground turkey
1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can corn (undrained)
1 pkg. taco seasoning (I used Mild. - It also has lower sodium!)
2 T. cilantro (from tube)
1 T. chopped garlic
salt and pepper to taste   

Mexican Cheese (1cup shredded)

Brown turkey in skillet coated with nonstick spray. Add the rest of the ingredients.  Heat for 5 minutes.  Top with some Mexican cheese and cook five more minutes or until melted.  Enjoy!

Here is my menu for this week:

Wednesday:  Pork BBQ Sandwiches, spinach, mac n cheese

    You know, I was offered the chicken breakfast sandwich when I ordered my daily cup of coffee - at first I said no and then I thought “now that’s stupid, it’s free, just try it.” So I did. And it was stringy. Like really stringy, it made me gag and I spit it out and now I’m angry at McDonald’s forever.

    eww.
