Tonight we're having a roasted chicken (free-range/all-natural from our local farm) and homemade stuffing if I can can figure out how to do it. I've been saving the leftovers from our homemade bread, chopping it into squares and putting it in the freezer. Recipe anyone? I was planning on just sauteeing some celery and onion, adding a tiny bit of chicken broth and mixing the bread in (before stuffing the bird).
I made black bean soup from scratch for lunch (with soaked dry beans and a container of leftover fresh salsa from the grocery store). MMM!
Seafood Lasagne that I created at www.letsdish.net Its my new thing. I do 8 or 12 meals that serve up to 6 people. Divide the recipes in half and fill my freezer with 16-24 meals that take me through the week nights while dh and I WOH during the week.
it was quite tasty... here is the recipe...we used cracker crumbs instead of bread and added spinach instead of parsley...
1/2 c. sliced almonds ( lightly toasted)
1pkg (4.5 oz) goat cheese
1tbsp fresh chives or green onion
1tbsp parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
4 chicken breasts
4 slices of white bread
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt - i would have liked a little more
in bowl, mix 2 tbsp of the almonds with goat cheese, chives, parsley, and some pepper.
cut chicken horizontally in half but not all the way through, put some filling in each breast
take crusts off bread and pulse in food processor until in fine crumbs with course pieces.
combine bread crumbs with remaining almonds, melt butter and drizzle over crumbs.toss with a fork.
in a seperate dish beat an egg, salt and pepper.
dip chicken in egg mixture, press chicken into bread crumb mixture and put in shallow greased cooking sheet or casserole dish
bake at 375 oven until crispy and no pink inside, about 30 minutes(ours needed to cook a little longer)
Leftovers tonight.....meatloaf, mashed potatoes, froz. veggies. All organic!
I made the meatloaf in muffin tins and stuffed the middle with cheese. It came out really tasty! I want to make more of these and freeze them as lunches/dinners for DS when we are having something he won't eat or can't eat...
