Healthy To Go! July Menu
Is it July already?
Dishes celebrates
Independence Day all month with our staff "Independently" choosing
their favorite meals for you! We'll have something good for you in
our fresh grab & go or in the freezer that each of us really, really
likes to eat and share. This week, you'll find in our fresh grab &
go two of my favorites - Chicken Florentine and Mexican Lasagna.
Chicken Florentine is by far our number one best seller-and why
wouldn't it be? It's elegant enough for company. We have people who
order this in single sizes for their own freezer, so they always
have a good meal for themselves. Chicken Florentine is a great
mixture of chicken breast (unbreaded of course!), topped with a
mixture of spinach, Panko bread crumbs, olive oil and cheeses -
which keep the chicken moist. It's done in about 40 minutes and all
you do is bake it!
Mexican Lasagna is a great casserole that
is hearty and healthy
The
"lasagna" part is corn tortillas, with hamburger (we use very lean,
cook, drain and wash to make even leaner), black beans, cumin, corn
in 3 layers. Not spicy - good for all ages!
Meredith has picked Jerked Chicken as one
of her "Independence Day" choices
Because "you can
bake or grill and I love the spices." It's a great treat.
Amanda and Aaron are looking things over
and will get to cooking this week on their choices.
I suspect Amanda will choose kid-friendly meals, since she has a house full of kids. Aaron likes healthy and easy, both specialties of Dishes. Since Meredith, Tom and I will be gone all next week riding our bikes in the Habitat 500 in Minnesota, Aaron and Amanda are in charge and I suspect will be having specials and features - anything to make a great week so they can show us how much better the place runs without us. Be sure to check in with them and help keep them very busy! If we live after 500 miles on our bikes, we'll be back the 19th!
