Since I didn’t share my menu last week due to my Chobani giveaway, I thought I’d share it this week. It worked out great, because I was able to photograph my meals so now you’ll have something pretty to look at!
I must say, we enjoyed some pretty delicious dinners last week.
MONDAY: Blackened chicken with cilantro lime quinoa and avocado cream
Oh my goodness, I can’t say enough about this meal. From start to finish, everything was delicious! I made a few changes- I baked the chicken breasts (instead of cooking in a pan) for about 30 minutes and I used sour cream in the avocado cream instead of yogurt. The avocado cream is sooooo good!
TUESDAY: chicken quesadillas (I made extra blackened chicken on Monday), refried beans
WEDNESDAY: Pot roast with potatoes, carrots and onions
Oldie, but goodie. I use the recipe on the Lipton Onion Soup box.
THURSDAY: leftovers
FRIDAY: Salsa chicken and quinoa stacks with MORE avocado cream!
SATURDAY: Ruth’s Chris 
Our good friends, Patrick and Laura, treated us to dinner before their baby girl arrives. We enjoyed seared filets with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus and sweet potato casserole. Oh, and chocolate explosion cake!
SUNDAY: Grouper Bienville with quinoa and roasted zucchini
I’m sharing the recipe for this very soon! Pan fried grouper with lump crab meat? Yes, please!
So what are you eating this week? Or what did you make last week?

That avocado cream looks so good I may lick my computer screen. Kidding. Sort of.
And, I think I need to try quinoa! I’ve never made it but it seems to be a staple at your house… is it more like rice or noodles? Hmm!
Here’s what’s cooking at my house this week: http://www.thetichenorfamily.com/2012/04/menu-planning-monday.html

Have you ever had couscous, Meredith? It tastes very similar, in my opinion. It’s more closely related to rice than pasta I’d say.

Yum!
I was just thinking, since you motivate me to make a meal plan list every week- you should do a “link up” to your blog every monday called “Meal Plan Monday” or something and we can all link together. I actually have my list today! LOL

I make avocado cream all the time! Sometimes I add cilantro and it’s SO DELICIOUS. If I make a giant salad for lunch, I’ll just put avocado cream on top sometimes and use it for the dressing. I’m also loving posting what we ate vs. what we’re going to eat. GREAT IDEA!!
Here’s what we’re having this week

I made your crockpot BBQ chicken for Anna yesterday and extra for us. That’s on the menu for tonight. (By the way, she said it was delish!)
Tuesday: Baked salmon with Salmon Magic seasoning, quinoa, green beans
Wed: Turkey and brown rice stuffed bellpeppers (from Sweet Tooth Sweet Life)
Thurs: Breakfast for dinner (biscuits, grits, eggs over med, sauteed spinach)
Fri: CA Pizza Kitchen frozen margarita pizza
I eat quinoa several times a week. I add the Better than Bouillon mushroom base to the cooking water. It’s great!
