Menu Wednesday

I know I said I was going to move my Menu Monday to Tuesday, but life got busy and J and I went to see 127 Hours last night (which was fabulous by the way), and blogging just never happened. Oh well! This week we're just going to have a Menu Wednesday, and that is okay!

My Meals:

Pasta alla Vodka and Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

We had some friends over for dinner and a game last weekend and this is what I served. Pioneer Woman never let's me down with this pasta dish and this salad is so light and easy!

Salad:
Arugala
Artichokes
Great Northern Beans (rinsed)
YUM!

I bought this fun pasta at Homegoods a few weeks back. Definitely worked well in this dish!


Barbecue Stuffed Potatoes

This was another recipe from my Cooking Light cookbook and it was definitely another win. I made my own barbecue chicken. I just baked my chicken, covered with a little olive oil and salt & pepper for 40 minutes. I shredded it mixed in store bought barbecue sauce. E-A-S-Y! And instead of using sour cream, I used fat free greek yogurt. YUM!


J's Meals:
Breakfast for dinner...Pumpkin Pancakes and Bacon



This is always a favorite! I could eat it every week and never tire of it!



Lasagna is one of my favorite foods, so I naturally enjoyed this. Not the best lasagna recipe we've tried, but it was good.

  2. I'm usually so busy in the morning during the week that I don't get to cook breakfast. I looooove making breakfast for supper.

  3. Oh. My. Goodness. That first one looks amazing. How can I ever convince my husband that I need to buy vodka for dinner? Mmmmm...
    The salad and dressing I need to try, too. Thanks for sharing!

  5. That all looks amazing. I like the idea of adding Great Northern beans to a salad - whenever I make salad, it ends up being me just dumping a bag of salad into our bowls. Going to have to try that!
