Before we enjoy the final recipe of the week, I wanted to get the weekly menu post up since it has been in my purse for the last few hours. I was not able to locate soyrizo at any of the grocery stores near my house. So, I scribbled down a quick menu of recipes I've been wanting to experiment with, made a grocery list, including last week's soyrizo item, and headed out to good old Trader Joe's. Low and behold, I found my soyrizo to be able to complete the stuffed sweet potatoes. Great success!
This week's menu uses a lot of chicken; however, one recipe I hope to make uses boneless, skinless chicken thighs. The other boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I figure with the use of two different cuts, there will be enough variety that we won't get sick of chicken. Which I've done a lot in the past. I'm also not worried about using the darker side of the bird. Dark meat, once frowned upon, actually has some great health benefits when you remove the skin and bones. Recent studies from the department of agriculture have found that their are nutrients in dark poultry meat that actually might provide protection from heart disease. Dark meat also contains more B-vitamins and minerals than its white counterpart. Fascinating right? Anyway, here is the rundown:
Sunday 1/6 Slow Cooker Chicken & Date Tagine with Brown Rice & Green Beans
Monday 1/7 Leftovers
Tuesday 1/8 Chicken with Roasted Tomato Sauce over Zucchini Noodles
Wednesday 1/9 Leftovers
Thursday 1/10 Sausage, Fennel, & Pepper Gluten-Free Pizza with Salad
