I've got to say that these recipes provided by e-mealz.com have been pretty yummy! Maybe I was just getting bored with the same old thing? I don't know... Monday night I made Cheaters Chicken and Dumplings. It had 5 ingredients and was served with a salad. The best part (in my opinion) was that you use refrigerator biscuits as the dumplings!! Yes, it tasted like refrigerator biscuits, but I like them so it was yummy! Maddie enjoyed it too so that's a recipe I'll be holding onto for a while. I used my own chicken broth that I had made with my roast chicken last week so that probably had a huge impact on the overall flavor of the meal. I'm excited to make more chicken broth! This canned stuff just doesn't cut it once you're used to the "real deal".
Last night I made Cheeseburger Soup. HELLO!! It was so good! Just brown the ground beef right in the soup pot with your veggies, then add some chicken broth (beef broth probably would've been good, too), boil it and simmer to let the veggies soften then add a bag of frozen hash browns! Ok, how many of you are with me...you can't go wrong when hash browns are involved :) Throw in some velveeta cheese and you're good to go. I had some frozen hot dog buns that I thawed out and made into garlic bread to go with the soup. Maddie didn't like this soup as much, but we had a long afternoon at the beach so I think she was just too tired to eat...she did enjoy the garlic bread.
Tonight I made a crock pot Turkey breast with mashed sweet potatoes. The turkey was incredible! The only things you put in the crock pot with it are orange juice, some celery cut up, salt, pepper and dry onion soup mix. I cooked it on low for 5 1/2 hours and it was PERFECT. Maddie enjoyed it as much as I did. But I was surprised she was really into the sweet potatoes...I don't make them often (last time I made sweet potatoes I made them oven fries...she liked that too) so I liked seeing her being interested in something new. The leftover turkey was cut up into chunks and is already in a baking dish for tomorrow night's dinner...Turkey Divan! I used Curry for the first time ever so I'm anxious to see if Maddie will like it!
Friday and Saturday I scheduled as leftover nights so I can take it easy and not have much clean up in the kitchen. Sunday we're having a brunch casserole (probably for lunch and dinner).
Sorry I'm not giving exact recipes...I don't want to get "caught" giving away information I paid for. I don't know, maybe it would be ok to give a recipe here or there as long as I'm not sending the pdf file of the meal plan and shopping list :)
