Menu Monday

October 12, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Good morning! I’m in New Orleans this week indulging in the fabulous food this city has to offer. Follow me on Instagram and you’re likely to see some drool-worthy photos of our meals. What I won’t be doing this week is cooking. In lieu of a regular menu I thought it would be fun to create a fantasy menu from some of the recipes I’ve pinned on Pinterest. There’s no way we would actually eat like this, certainly not all in a single week. But just for fun let’s see what I can come up with.

  • Creamy Lemon Chicken Piccata

  • Zucchini Carpaccio Salad
  • Soft Garlic Breadsticks
  • Lemon Yogurt Sugar Muffins

    Yeah… I think most of us gained weight just reading that menu, LOL!

    Of the ones you put together, my favourite is Wednesday’s meal (though without the chicken part, obviously).

    Here’s a meal I’d put together if I had those options though:

    *Squash Cassarole
    *Buttery Roast Potatoes
    *Green Beans
    *Roasted carrots
    *Garlic bread
    *Tossed Green Salad
    *Lemon yogurt cupcakes, or Banana Pudding Pie

      P.S. I’d have to make a few tweaks to some of the recipes though… To make them vegetarian friendly, I mean.
