Since its Memorial Day weekend I went ahead and included Monday in this weeks menu. I will be going down to Bill’s house on Thursday after his son’s wedding and staying till Monday evening. I’m hoping the kids will come down on Monday and we can have a BBQ and hang out in the woods. :)
Monday: Pork Steaks, corn on the cob, salad
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: Pork tenderloin in pan sauce (March 2010 Everybody Cooks),
mashed potatoes, green beans
Thursday: Eat Out (getting tattoos at Bill’s)
Friday: Tilapia, steamed broccoli, rice pilaf
Saturday: quesadillas, chips and salsa
Sunday: BLTs, chips
Monday: Country Ribs, Mac and cheese, salad, chips, dessert (probably strawberries)
As usual if you want a recipe just ask.
How do you make your quesadillas? Are they just plain cheese, do they have a special 'sauce'? My son loves the ones at Taco Bell, but I really am intimidated by the whole idea of making them myself. (I have issues.)
ReplyDeleteWe do quesadillas the same way we do tacos at my house. I make the filling and then everyone builds their own. I buy the whole wheat tortillas, I use plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream (healthier and I can’t tell the difference), your favorite salsa, I make or buy guacamole and cheese.
ReplyDeleteI will cook chicken tenders with onions and green peppers chopping it up into small size bits so it makes it easier to work with. You can make it with just cheese or use taco meat if you like. You can use a premixed sauce if you like, but I don’t. At my grocery, you can buy Taco Bell products which includes the green sauce (my daughter loves it!) but I just use salsa after it’s cooked on top.
Then I just place a tortilla in a non-stick pan, top with whatever filling you want on half of it (cheese, chicken, beef- whatever you want to use), then flip the other half over it and grill it. Turning it can be tricky if you have a lot of filling, but using two spatulas usually works well for me. Then cut it like they do at taco bell and serve with salsa, sour cream, and chopped tomatoes and lettuce.
