Heirloom Meals: Savoring Yesterday's Traditions Today

Friday October 01, 2010

Carole’s Concoctions:
The Weekend’s Menu

It's always fun when the kids come and I can make them their favorite things!!  And fortunately for me, Jim's kids have exciting palates!!  Moreover it's Matt's birthday which gives me an excuse to make his favorite - Nutella Heaven Pound Cake.

Friday Night's Arrival Menu:
Spicy Chicken Cacciatore
Brown "sticky" Rice
Mixed Green Salad
Ice Cream


Saturday Night Birthday Dinner:
Pot Roast - I am trying a new recipe - I will blog about it on Monday
Roasted organic homegrown potatoes
Broccoli with thyme, lemon, garlic and browned butter - Matt and Caroline's F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E!!!
And
Nutella Heaven Pound Cake for Matt's B-day cake

Breakfast is always our chicken eggs scrambled with veggies and sprinkled with whatever cheese I have on hand.  Lunch is leftovers, that is, if we have any!!  Otherwise, I am thinking BLT's with my late tomato harvest.

Oh, and lest I forget...we'll open a jar of spicy salsa that I made a couple of weeks ago - another one of Matt's favorites.  It's going to be a great food-filled family weekend
