This week my menu plans changed a little unexpectedly - my friend had a baby! So I'm making extra meatballs today to bring her family a meal later this week. The baby's a cutie too - I got to meet her at the hospital yesterday. She has the TINIEST HANDS I've ever seen on any full-term chickie.
Monday: turkey-jasmine meatballs with sauce over soba noodles, with roasted cauliflower (I'm skipping the baby bok choy part of the recipe)
Tuesday: soup from the freezer, with canned fruit and oatmeal muffins (if you have the BHG red plaid cookbook, you can find these muffins at the beginning of the bread page. They're only slightly sweet, with a yummy, satisfying flavor and texture.)
Wednesday: terriyaki chicken with rice and canned fruit
Thursday: cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs and canned fruit
Saturday: Indian Spiced Chicken casserole
Sunday picnic: bean and cheese burritos and fruit
I got my terriyaki chicken recipe at my bridal shower, and it's been a favorite ever since (though I typically make it with 1 lb. of boneless, skinless chicken meat):
Marion Lee's Terriyaki Chicken
-3-4 lb. chicken thighs or drumsticks
Sauce:
-3/4 c. soy sauce
-3/4 c. sugar
-1. tablespoon sherry
-1 clove garlic, minced
-1 1/2" ginger, crushed
Marinate chicken in sauce ingredients 4 hours or overnight. Bake in shallow pan (with marinade) at 375 degrees for 40-50 minutes (might be less with less chicken).
peace of Christ to you,
Jessica
