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
- buttered pasta
- Zucchini Carpaccio Salad
- Soft Garlic Breadsticks
- Lemon Yogurt Sugar Muffins

- French Onion Pork Chops
- Restaurant-style Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Bacon Green Bean Bundles with Brown Sugar Glaze
- tossed green salad
- Pina Colada Cupcakes
Wednesday:
- Southern Smothered Chicken
- rice
- Squash Casserole
- Southern Green Beans
- Southern Cornbread
- Southern Banana Pudding Pie
Thursday:
- Restaurant-style Filet Mignon
- Buttery Roasted Crushed Potatoes
- Roasted Garlic Asparagus with Feta Cheese
- wedge salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
- Chocolate Whiskey Bundt Cake with Whiskey Caramel Sauce
Friday:

- Perfect Roasted Carrots
- Spinach Salad with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette
- Apple Crisp Stuffed Baked Apples
Saturday:
- Avocado Black Bean Enchiladas

Sunday:
- Crab Rangoon
- Chinese Egg Rolls
- Chinese Buffet Green Beans
- Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
- Fried Rice
- Chinese Almond Cookies
Whew! I think I gained ten pounds just looking at all those recipes. Which menu is your favorite?
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.
That sounds delicious!
