Another gem from the two-month meal plan:
Seared Tilapia with Asparagus and Spicy Mint Gremolata, 4.5 out of 5
I was sort of surprised at how much I liked this. The mint gremolata went perfectly with the seasoned tilapia. Want to eat it again. This very moment.
As part of my two-month meal plan, here are a couple of the recipes from last week’s experiments. (Remember that they only get a 5/5 if they really blow our minds):
Dirty P’s Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs by Guy Fieri, 3 out of 5
Tasted like some sort of mix between typical teriyaki and my mother-in-law’s Filipino chicken adobo — I’d rather just have her adobo.
Salisbury Steak With Mushrooms, 4.75 out of 5
We added a TON of Worcestershire sauce and cut the mushrooms up tiny since Jordan has this mental thing about eating fungus. Made parmesan-infused mashed potatoes as a side. Enough for leftovers and it tasted even better the next day. Jordan agrees.
A couple weeks ago I confessed to creating a meal plan schedule to save myself the stress of deciding on and shopping for meals. Here are a couple winning recipes from the last week (the only reason they don’t get 5 out of 5 is because I’m saving the 5 rating for something that literally blows my mind):
Chicken Fingers with Curried Ketchup, 4.75 out of 5
This made our house smell so good, it was so easy to make, and the taste was phenomenal. Could use the sauce for so many things.
Rachael Ray’s Creamy Chicken and Mushroom One-Pot with Pot Pie Toppers, 4.75 out of 5
Left out mushrooms, subbed carrots for parsnips and 1% milk for cream. Jordan added lime juice to his. Still craving this. Was so sad when the soup was all gone.
