Thank You Orgjunkie! Planning a week of meals based on what I found at the Farmer's Market, Price Chopper, and Prays was a breeze. Now I wont have to think about it at all- or at least not as much!

Monday- Hidden Valley Ranch Burgers on the Grill, Buns, Boiled New Potatoes, Garlic Bread, Apple Pie

  • Hidden Valley Ranch Burgers- mix 1 and 1/2 lbs of ground beef with 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and one envelope of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Powder. Squish together to mix well- Yummo on the Grill!

Tuesday- Turkey- What am I doing with a turkey that I bought in November?? Tossing it on the grill. Any ideas or suggestions?I am thinking marinade, rub, and split like a chicken...May end up getting take out if it flops! Mashed potatoes, cranberry bbq sauce

Wednesday- Breakfast for dinner. Frozen waffles, sausage, fruit, cereal

Thursday- Pasta and Pizza ( from scratch)

Friday- Steaks, portabello mushroom bake, red skin mashed potato

  • Mushroom Bake- Remove Stems and black "gills" (gunk) from underside. Saute whole in melted butter and olive oil.
  • Remove to individual ceramic baking dishes. Add a good Glop of Goats cheese in the middle.
  • In saute pan, add 2 tbsp butter (to what ever if left), 2 tbsp liquid/paste beef bouillon, 3/4 c REAL maple syrup, 1/4 c water. Simmer together and reduce bu 1/4.
  • Spoon sauce over mushrooms and cheese.
  • Bake in oven at 400 or under broiler if you are brave until cheese sets and melts a bit.

Saturday- Lemon Spaghetti, Zucinni cakes, garlic bread

Sunday- Potluck (Theme to be determined)
