Menu Plan Monday
I'm so excited at this time of year! It's a time for delicious treats, beautifully decorated homes, delightful music, and so much more. Christmas is a great time of the year! Even here in Doha, Qatar (where we are currently living), I've been surprised at the amount of Christmas trees in stores. It's a pleasant surprise.
I've got some really yummy things planned for this week. My mom blessed me with two (TWO!!) Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Cooking cookbooks for Christmas while we were back in Tucson and I'm putting them to good use this week. Here's my plan:
Monday: Lemon-Rosemary Chicken, buttermilk-garlic smashed potatoes, tossed salad
Tuesday: Baja Beef & Beans and Tex-Mex Rice
Wednesday: Island Chicken, fruited rice, and garlic-roasted green beans
Thursday: Picnic in the park (it's Qatar's independence day and there is going to be a light show and fireworks by the gulf. Should be fun!!)
Friday: Broiled salmon with creamy horseradish sauce (recipe below), brussel sprouts, and roasted potatoes
Saturday: Stuffed zucchini, rice with vermicelli and chopped salad
Sunday: Lentils & rice and a lemony salad
Broiled Salmon with Creamy Horseradish Sauce
- 1 lb. salmon fillets
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 T. prepared horseradish
- 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 t. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 t. lemon pepper seasoning
Preheat broiler. Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into 4 serving pieces. Coat a baking sheet with the cooking spray; set aside.
Stir together sour cream, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Place on baking sheet and broil 4-6 inches from heat for 4-6 minutes per side. Serve with sour cream mixture.

Doesn't that sound yummy?! It's from Sandra Lee's book, Cooking Made Light. Well, to be honest, her recipe calls for fat free sour cream, but, uh, NO! Though I guess you could use it if you really wanted to.

I am always so jealous when I see your menus!
Hubs is the pickiest eater on the planet; I really think he'd literally starve himself before eating anything you posted.
BUT I'M SALIVATING ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD!!!
I really think it would be kind of you and Organizing Junkie to suspend Menu Plan Monday until after this baby is out and the cravings are over! ;)
Doesn't take much to make me crave stuff these days!
Oooo, that DOES sound yummy! I happen to have a whole salmon in my freezer.... might have to give that a try since it's a LITTLE too cold to be barbecuing this week!! (we do usually grill year round, but we're trapped in an extreme cold snap ~ -53F with the windchill ~ so I'll spare hubby and do all the cooking indoors this week!)
Lori, I totally agree. I see no point to no-fat sour cream. You may as well use glue. Whenever I see it in a recipe, I at least use low-fat if not full fat.
