Menu Week Twenty-three
Succumb to your warm fall feelings as you dip into Curried Carrot-Peanut Soup. The thick soup is delicious with little florets of broccoli to brighten it up. Have some... piping hot! Don't you love an all-in-one bowl of food? Stir fry a delicious mushroom and chicken mixture, then pile it onto Cauliflower Rice next to lightly cooked vegetables and you've got Mushroom Chicken Bowls. MOre fun with chop sticks! Caramelize some onions, cut then peel the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler, load it all into the crock pot with a perfectly seasoned pork loin, and you have wonderful Pork Loin with Butternut Squash waiting for you when you're ready. Season and cook chicken thighs, tomatillos and other good stuff on the stove-top with all the right flavorings and you are creating great Tacos with Tangy Cilantro Chicken! Heap the shredded chicken into lettuce leaves or warmed tortillas for non-SCDers and top with grated cheese for a wonderful Mexican dinner. The next night it's Quick Asian Salmon Salad, with chunks of broiled salmon served on a bed of delicious fresh stuff, all drizzled with a yummy Asian dressing. Day 6 is perfect for a savory Red Onion Frittata, which you can serve hot out of the broiler or at room temperature, cut in wedges. How nice to eat it with an SCD English Muffin, which you make yourself very quickly in the microwave oven? We also include info if you'd rather bake it. Toast the muffin and melt some butter on it and you're stylin'! And all through the week you and your people have been working away at the tin of Sugar Plums! They're so good! We always make them for Christmas... it just seems like the right thing to do.
