Not a lot of cooking happening this week, but here’s what I have planned:
Kale Pesto Pasta with Shrimp and Tomatoes, Salad
Cajun Red Beans and Rice with Andouille Sausage
Mushroom and Spinach Quesdillas with Guacamole
Sunday- just us- we went out for hamburgers!
Monday – our Monday staple! Salmon, roasted Brussels sprouts, rice and salad
Tuesday- chopped salad and baguette
Wednesday- leftovers
Thursday-stir fry with chicken
Friday- steak on the grill with grilled veggies
Saturday- in DC for the science march!
We had our usual Easter family pitch-in, but this year featured 3 different macaroni and cheeses. So much for coordination! My mother and my aunt each did a variation on the same crockpot mac & cheese recipe, which came out wildly different, which was interesting.
As for my menu, again I’ll post a link since I’m doing 3 meals a day. But the exciting news is we’re starting to get asparagus coming in from farm! It’s also the beginning of an insane time at work, so I’m doing 3 different crockpot dinners from around the world – Philly Cheesesteak tonight, a Thai green curry tomorrow, and I’m going to try to make Chicken Tika Masala in the crockpot Thursday. This all coming off of a tagine I made Saturday, so Rabat, Philadelphia, Bangkok, and Chandigahr (or Glasgow…) visit my kitchen in a week…

Hi,Vicki,
Do you have a recipe for the Beef Wrapped Asparagus Teriyaki Ramen? It sounds yummy!
I found the recipe in the cookbook Simply Ramen, here is a link:
https://www.amazon.com/Simply-Ramen-Complete-Course-Preparing/dp/1631061445/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492806327&sr=8-1&keywords=simply+ramen
You wrap the asparagus in thin beef strips, cook it in sesame oil, then pour soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic over the asparagus. Pour the sauce and asparagus out, and cook baby bok choy in the same pan in more sesame oil. Serve over ramen and broth, both of which she provides a recipe for. It’s really fun to have a more traditional ramen base, and we like trying fun recipes. Hope that helps!
Vicki
Thanks, Vicki
That indeed sounds yummy. I’ll have to check the book out!
you guys are the bestest! thank you as always for your menus and sharing of recipes!
