By 2 Comments

Welcome to the first WTCW of 2013 from me!  I hope the new year is treating you well so far.  I dove head first into some pretty hefty healthy eating goals which {so far} are going well.  You’ll see a few of those healthier recipes appear here each week I am sure 🙂

Want to see some of your own {or your favorite recipes of others} here?
Each month, I am opening WTCW posts up to guest bloggers.  Interested?  Email me at justusfourpartners {at} gmail {dot} com and I’ll send you all the info you need!

Now, how about we talk food?

Sunday:  I haven’t done much cooking with lamb but I love the sound of lamb and potato enchilada casserole.

Monday:  Let’s go meatless with super kid friendly chili bean tacos.

Tuesday:  Baked potatoes have become great blank slates for lots of different kind of meals.  Cheeseburger stuffed baked potatoes eliminate the need to make a side of fries!

What To Cook Wednesday – Guest Post

By Leave a Comment

Did you know that every month I feature one of YOU as a guest poster for What to Cook Wednesday?  It is a great way to get some exposure for your blog AND, if you like to cook, your recipes too!

Interested?  Email me at justusfourpartners {at} gmail {dot} com for all the details!

Today, Heather from Heather’s French Press is here to share a weekly  menu plan with you!  If you have never visited Heather’s blog, you should!  It is filled with delicious recipes that fill my “must make” list!

****************************************************
I hope the new year is off to a great start for you all.  Here’s a peak at  how we are starting 2013.

Sunday –  family dinner night is even more special on Sundays, and I LOVE trying new things like this Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Asparagus.  It was a HUGE hit!

Monday – and we’re off to another busy week.  Slow cooker meals like this Balsamic Pork are perfect for busy weeknights.

Tuesday – has always been Taco Tuesday.  My kids simply will not have it any other way.  We like to mix-it -up a bit with these baked taquitos.
Wednesday – trying to lighten things up – we LOVE pasta, but these zucchini noodles make a healthy {and delicious} alternative.

Thursday – Quick meals don;t have to taste like quick meals.  This cordon bleu is SO easy, and you would never know it.

Friday is pizza night!

Saturday – the weekend at last. Time to celebrate with lasagna roll-ups

.Have a great week:)

Thanks Heather! Those all look so delicious…my mouth is watering just thinking about them. I’m definitely loving the idea of the balsamic pork!

WTCW – New Year’s Edition

By Leave a Comment

Ok, it is the last What to Cook Wednesday of the Year!  Let’s celebrate with something a little outside the WTCW box. 

Today, I’m sharing ideas for New Year’s Eve Party food!  AND, they are all tried and true.  Yep, you read that right: I have made every single one of these {I’ve included a few notes on some of them based on my experiences too}!

Ginger Shrimp Potstickers with Spicy Peanut Sauce – We totally adapted this one and made them wontons vs. potstickers.  It allowed me to bake them {spray the pan and them with cooking spray} vs. cooking them in a pan.

Cranberry Meatballs – My only tip: double the recipe because these babies go fast

Let’s get to some recipes, shall we?

Sunday: I love malt vinegar. If you are hunting for the bottle at your local Five Guys, it is probably on my table. So, of course, when I saw malt vinegar chicken, it had to go on my list!

Monday: Want a healthy option for dinner in between indulgent eating at various holiday events? Check out this layered Mexican casserole.
