Menu Plan Monday: We HEART Mexican Food

*Just a heads-up that I’m doing a GIVE-AWAY on Thursday!!!

How is it Monday again?!  This week we have the pleasure of Josh’s sister, Sarah, visiting!!!  Yea!  Here’s what we’ve got planned.

• Sunday: BBQ for 2nd Mother’s Day!
• Monday: Left-Over Honey Molasses Drumsticks, rice, and veg
• Tuesday: Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein, egg rolls
• Wednesday: Chicken & Green Chile Quesadillas, chips & salsa
• Thursday: Chicken Enchiladas, chips & salsa, refried beans
• Friday: Left-Overs
• Saturday: Cilantro-Lime Chicken, sweet corn, refried beans  (yes, we might do chips & salsa again- don’t judge us)
• Sunday: Tortellini & Pasta Sauce

A Ceilidh Dance. That may be redundant.

Added bonuses

On Friday, we are going to our first Ceilidh.  It is a very Scottish dance where the guys wear kilts.  Sweet.

On Saturday, I am throwing together a little Ice Cream Social for my friends to meet Sarah.  We will have ice cream sundaes and cherry cokes or coke floats- have I mentioned that I love Coke?

BBQ turkey burgers

Josh threw together this recipe from several different ones online- delicious!!

1# ground/minced turkey

1/2 of a yellow onion, minced

2 T breadcrumbs

1 beaten egg

1/2 t Dijon Mustard

3T crumbled bleu cheese or Feta (we did Feta b/c we had it on hand)

1 T Worchestire Sauce

3-4 fresh basil leaves, chopped

S/P

Hand mix it all and grill!

Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein

Ready-to-Wok Udon noodles

1/4 c peanut butter

1/4 c soy sauce

1 1/2T br sugar

1T lemon juice

1/3 c hot water

1 clove chopped garlic

2T olive oil

1lb chopped chicken (uncooked)1 medium bunch broccoli, cut

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 c peanuts

In a skillet, saute chicken and onion in oil.  After 3-4 minutes, add broccoli.  While cooking, make sauce: combine peanut butter thru garlic in a jar with a lid so you can shake it.  Once chicken is almost done, add sauce and cook until done.  When chicken is fully cooked, add noodles and saute for a few minutes to get them soft.  Then, add peanuts.
