It may be spring, but it still feels cold to me! I'm still craving hot soup this week, even though I'm itching to start spring planting. We purchased a flat of pansies this weekend and started planting them. I need to start some seedlings indoors for our summer veggie patch. I'm giving up on tomatoes this year. We belong to a CSA and get plenty of organic tomatoes from there, so I am switching to try to grow lettuce, which I didn't think I would ever do. We have a wildlife issue, but hopefully the fencing will keep them at bay. My son also loves eating green beans off the plant, so we'll be planting them again this year with some peas. Ok, when will it start warming up??
So onto the dinner menu for the week:
Monday: Citrus coconut marinated Mahi Mahi with pineapple rice (Fish was purchased from Whole Foods, already marinated!)
Tuesday: Split Pea Soup (using leftover Easter ham) I make a low fat version from the American Heart Association's cook book. Couldn't find the recipe online!
Wednesday: Salmon Teriyaki with brown rice and green beans
Thursday: grilled chicken with lemony asparagus penne pasta
Friday: Leftover night...cooking from the freezer!
Saturday: TBD
Sunday: Skinnytaste Crock pot Buffalo Chicken lettuce wraps (love this recipe!) (We are going to the Phillies game this day, so it will be nice to have a meal to come home to that is healthy after eating ballpark crap for lunch!)
