MONDAY



 Grilled Vietnamese Meatballs w/ Pineapple Fried Rice & Sesame Ginger Salad

"My daughter packed her portion for lunch today and I've got mine for lunch as well (I think we had more meatballs last night than the last time, so we we're actually getting a dinner and two lunches out of it).  Sticky rice is a favorite in our house, so that combined with the pineapple is a big hit. Bottom line...food was excellent, as usual!" - Suzanne


The sweet/savory in the turkey meatballs is a perfect match for the sweet/tangyness in the pineapples. Finish off with a salad of greens, shredded cabbage, carrots, scallions, cilantro, toasted sesame seeds and a sesame ginger dressing.

No oil used whatsoever in the fried rice!






TUESDAY


Peruvian Chicken w/ Garlic Rice, Plantains and Side Salad

"Last night's dinner (Peruvian Chicken) got a huge WOW!  Definitely a keeper! " - Suzanne  


"The Peruvian Chicken last night was delicious!!!  My mom, my husband and I enjoyed it very much last night.  Can't wait to have the left over for lunch today. YUM!!!" - Irene


Whole chicken marinated in a smoky cumin sauce. Just go ahead and put away your forks. The best way to eat this is to rip apart the meat with your hands, then dip it in either the Sweet Ranch or the Cilantro Sauce.  Follow up with a sweet piece of plantain.and some of that  rich and savory garlic rice.
(When I serve this to my family, I place the salad on the bottom of the rice and pour some sauce over it.  Otherwise, the salad won't get eaten!  Since I like different textures in my food, I actually prefer to eat it this way.)







WEDNESDAY

Slow-Cooked Pork Shoulder w/ Garlic Rice, Plantains & Side Salad

"Loved the pork and the sweet garlic ranch. Tasty!"--Irene


If you're not a fan of pork, this dish might just turn you into a pork lover. It is pure torture to be in the same room while this is slow cooking for 5 hours! The pork is incredibly tender, juicy and massively savory. It goes perfectly with the Garlic Rice. And finally, to top it off are 2 sauces that totally compliment each other: Spicy Cilantro and Sweet Garlic Ranch, which you can also use for your salad dressing!

I hope you enjoy eating this as much as I did making it!
