Let’s Get Cooking

July 24, 2013 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Wednesday is back again and I am holding my head just barely above water. I started working in the office again this week and it has been quite a shock to my system. Commuting + working + therapy + all the other stuff in life has definitely kept me busy and exhausted. Fingers crossed it gets easier really soon! You aren’t here to hear me ramble on though…you are here for recipes so let’s get cooking!

Sunday: Seared Asian Salmon with Caramelized Onions and Lemon Cilantro Edamame Puree

Monday: Pea toast

What to Cook Wednesday

July 10, 2013 By Shannah 2 Comments

Hi guys! Yes, I am actually here. So, I know this blog has been a little bit more sporadic than usual but recovering from surgery was far more involved than I really expected. Crutches, physical therapy, getting help to put on shoes…yeah, it has not been pretty. Bottom line: I am on the road to recovery so things should start to get back to normal around here soon. Thanks for hanging in there with me 🙂

Now, let’s get on to some delicious food ideas in the regular What to Cook Wednesday post.

Sunday: Chicken pockets are one of Mathlete’s favorite meals. These stuffed chicken pillows look like they are sure to please.

Monday: Meatless doesn’t have to mean boring. How about some sweet potato and black bean tacos to keep your taste buds awake?

Weekly Menu Plan

June 19, 2013 By Shannah 2 Comments

So, I am totally not going to lie. This weekly menu plan almost didn’t happen. I’m having surgery tomorrow followed by a few weeks on crutches. Knowing that I won’t be up for making dinner for a few days {at least} made it hard for me to focus on preparing a menu. The reality in our house for a week or so will probably be frozen pizza and take out.

BUT, you {hopefully} aren’t having a surgery which means you probably still want some delicious food to cook/eat. So, I give you What to Cook Wednesday…

Sunday: How about we start off our week with a trip to the grill? I am thinking Vietnamese grilled pork chops sounds like a delicious way to spend a Sunday evening.

Monday: We’re going meatless and chilled this week! Chilled avocado soup just sounds like such a fabulous way to beat the heat on a really hot summer day.

Happy Wednesday! In our house, Wednesday equals menu plan day. That is how What to Cook Wednesday was born and I look forward to it each and every week. Finding menu plan ideas for myself and, then, sharing them with you is always super fun. Although, I will admit I get a little hungry looking at all this delicious food 🙂

Before we get started, I wanted to let you know {remind you} that you can do a What to Cook Wednesday here! It is a great way to get exposure for you, your blog and {if you want} your recipes! Don’t worry, you can sign up for one even if you don’t write/make food on your own blog!
Interested? Just drop me a line to justusfourpartners {at} gmail {dot} com and I will give you all the deets.

Now, let’s look at some foooooddddd

Sunday: Mathlete loves Greek food. So, it only makes sense to make sure he gets some of it on Father’s Day. This year, I’m thinking Greek style grilled pork chops will be on the menu.

Quicky Menu Planning {WTCW #103}

June 5, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

What do you get when you combine one {already} busy mom with the last week of school? NO time to do anything extra at all and some quicky menu planning!

Now, a smart mom/blogger would have planned this out weeks ago and written up the post, complete with fancy collages and descriptions, too. BUT, I never claimed to be a smart mamma 😉 So, What to Cook Wednesday is lacking in the pretty collages and commentary this week. I wouldn’t leave you hungry though so read on for some great menu ideas.

Weekly Menu Plan Ideas – WTCW #93

March 27, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

What to Cook Wednesday (WTCW) is super fun for me! It helps me come up with new weekly menu plan ideas while also sharing with you some awesome recipes from around the web!

Do you ever make any of the recipes I share? Maybe you have some recipes of your own you’d like to share here…If you do, shoot me an email because I would LOVE to have you guest post for a WTCW segment to see what menu plan ideas you have.

Now, let’s get on with our recipes!

Sunday: Corned beef did not make an appearance in our house for St. Patrick’s Day. So, I’m going to make up for it and have baked honey mustard corned beef this week instead.

Monday: Stir fry is such an awesome option for a quick weeknight meal. I’ve got Asian stir fry with noodles on my list for the week because I know our Monday is going to be a busy one.
