Jul. 31st, 2005 07:43 pmI just reserved my third Let's Dish session for next Saturday morning. I'll be making:
- Asian BBQ pork wraps (we've had this one before, and it was fabulous)
- "Dressed to grill" sirloin packets (marinated beef and veggies in a foil packet for the grill)
- Garlic chicken prosciutto pasta
- Japanese miso-glazed salmon and veggies
- Skewerless chicken satay with cous cous
- Smoked Gouda-stuffed horseradish burgers (topped with tomato remoulade, onna bun)
- Southwestern grilled pork chops with veggie topper (marinated pork topped with black beans, sweet corn, and red peppers)
- Tequila lime shrimp with rice
I feel a bit silly about this, because I could be cooking our meals from scratch. Alex is no longer so demanding that cooking is out of the question, and Michael can either cook simple meals himself or take over evening babycare while I cook. I have been cooking more lately, especially easy things like pasta or a roast or chicken cooked on the Foreman grill. But I really, really like having a freezer full of easy meals for tired nights. At about $10 per meal, it's not the most frugal thing we could be doing. But it's healthier than takeout, and it's nice to have a change from pizza-or-chinese.
