Menu: Apr. 11th-14th

MONDAY

 
Crispy Cod w/ Zucchini & Peppers Orzo
& Grilled Garlic Bread

*2/$25 or 4/$45

"OMG - THE ENTIRE MEAL WAS WONDERFUL!!!!  The fish was perfect (loved the sauce), the orzo was to die for (I could have eaten the entire container) and the garlic bread - what can I say delicious (I'll start grilling mine from now on) Fantastic meal!!!" - Karen


"Just wanted to let you know Monday's dinner was delicious!  Everything was so good, I will definitely be ordering it again. " -Felecia
 
 

I really can't tell you what I like most about this dinner.  It could be the crunchy yet soft grilled garlic bread, the rich orzo with sweet veggies or the meaty panko & herb cod fillet that would make it easy for anyone to give up eating meat. I actually ate all my garlic bread and was half way through the orzo before I realized there was more dinner to enjoy.  You will be pleasantly surprised to know this entire dinner is butter free.  Only olive oil was used.


TUESDAY


Kung Pao Chicken w/ Noodles 

"I absolutely LOVED your take on the Kung Pao Chicken! It was delish!! And since it was homemade with fresh ingredients, I'm sure it was WAY healthier than take-out. I don't have to feel bad about eating KP Chicken, and it's one of my favorites. So thanks!!" - Amy

 
Crispy chicken tossed with a savory sweet kung pao sauce and peanuts. 
Served with stir fried veggies and noodles. (Peanuts packed separately)


 To reheat chicken, place in oven at 350/375 til crispy.  If you want to and have the time, you can also throw the peanuts in there to for a few minutes to "wake" them up. 




WEDNESDAY


Lemongrass Ribs w/ Sweet Slaw 
& Scallion Fried Rice
*2/25 or 4/$45* 

"These are really really really good!" - Faye

"The ribs last night were delicious!!!  I wish there were more!" - Irene

"We really enjoyed these. A new flavor for both of us!" - Darlene 
Baby back ribs marinated in a lemongrass barbecue sauce and sloooowly cooked until the meat nearly falls off the bone.  


THURSDAY

Crispy Ginger Fish w/ Rice Noodles

*$2/25 or 4/$45*

"This is mine and Irene's favorite!" - Hilda

  I make this for a lot of our family gatherings (especially the Asian ones).  Yes, it's a whole fish, with bones and all!  If you've never tried eating fish on the bones, you definitely need to start with this.  The fish is rubbed with garlic and ginger and fried til nice and crispy.  To serve, just take a knife and lift at the two cut slits and pull apart from the bones. Place fish on top of rice noodles, salad and drizzle on some fish sauce.  
(If you're absolutely terrified of the fish head, just let me know and I'd be glad to remove it prior to packing!) 

To Reheat:  You can either bake it at 375 til crispy or do a quick broil for a few minutes.

"Loved the sliders and everything about the layers of goodness - cilantro, sauce, jalapenos, slaw....everything!" - Amy  

There's just so much to this, so I'm just going to list the details:
  • 4 Mini burgers made of ground turkey marinated with scallions, carrots, garlic, and fish sauce.  
  • Whole wheat buns
  • Sweet Slaw (No mayo.)
  • CGOA (Cilantro Garlic Olive Oil Aioli- A bit of mayo replaced with a whole lot of garlic, cilantro and olive oil)
  • 4 Spring Rolls:  Honey Ginger Chicken, Loads of Veggies, Whole Wheat Noodles & Peanut Sauce
When I served this one night, my son looked at me as if I was serving cake and ice cream for dinner.  What a fantastic meal and treat at the same time.
