I think things will be back to normal this week... whatever normal may be! I'm actually planning on doing some cooking this week, and I'm doing it with a plan. I don't think I could handle too many of the fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants menu plans like I did last week! It works for a change of pace, but I always do better with a plan. And now that my cupboards and freezers are stocked, I have lots to plan with!
Monday
Grilled Chicken Salads (leftover chicken from Sunday's grilling)
Tuesday
Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry (recipe below)

Leftover night!

Tilapia (Any ideas for how to prepare this?)
Baked Yams
Green Beans
Sunday
Our small group is meeting, so I'll just be taking a side dish. I might make baked potatoes and take some toppings (sour cream, broccoli, cheese).

Yum that stir fry recipe sounds great, and I love that it is all stuff I have on hand. Its going on my list :) Thanks for sharing!
My family love Tilipia fried. I've also had it done streamed with veggies.
You have some terrific recipes this week.
I love MPM. I get so much inspiration from the participants.
pizza, pizza! How did last week turn out? Not bad, I hope. And we here in texas love tilapia.. I usually broil it 8-10min. You can season it however you want! I usually drizzle some olive oil, squeeze and bake with the lemon wedges n salt n pepper or press breadcrumbs and blackening seasoning... Need any other ideas, let me know.
For the Tilapia (we eat it every week) - put fish on a foil lined baking sheet (easy clean-up) rub both sides w/ olive oil and season with whatever you have on hand. I like to use lemon pepper or any grill seasoning. Put it under the broiler for about 8-9 minutes or until it flakes w/ a fork. So easy and yummy. P.S. I love to eat mine with spicy mustard!
I will have to give the Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry a try.
