Menu For the Week

I have been seriously MIA for nearly 6 months! I cannot believe how time flies! My goodness, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, A New Year began, Valentines Day, Presidents Day...all gone!!! I am completely out of the habit of posting...hoping that will change.

What better way than to start with a menu for the week! This Christmas, I put together a cookbook for my family and friends with mine and my families' favorite, tried and true recipes. The cookbook also contains well-loved recipes from friends and neighbors. It originally began as a tribute and gift to my mother, but blossomed into something much larger. So far, I've printed 90 cookbooks and they are all gone!! But, I'm getting ready for another print run (which I'm adding a few more recipes to)...so if anyone's interested, let me know, and you can purchase one from me. I guarantee you will love it and you'll use it for nearly every meal! All of these recipes are in the cookbook (there are over 200 recipes in the book)

Tacos...A Cluff Family Favorite
Seriously, the Kohler/Cluff clan has a serious addiction with tacos!

Chicken a la Fuente
I personally have never made this, but Jana swears by it-my opinion will come soon!

Sweet Pork Roast Tacos
LOVE these with the homemade Cilantro/Ranch dressing

Fried Pizzas
Just the name sounds delicious!

Fire Roasted Tomato/Basil Soup with bacon
This soup is probably my most requested recipe from friends.

Menu For the Week

Chicken Burrittos

Shredded Chicken Sliders topped with Cole Slaw, corn on the cob
These are soooo delicious! The sweet, cool cole slaw on top adds crunch and yummy flavor!

French Dips, corn on the cob, zucchini and tomatoes
I put a chuck roast in the crock pot and used half for the sandwiches and the other half I'm using for the shredded beef tacos

Fish tacos with mango pico de gallo

Mini Farfalle chipotle chicken pasta, romaine salad, crusty bread
I boiled the chicken breast for all three of my shredded chicken dinners the night I made this. I only used one chipotle pepper and it was plenty spicy and oh so yummy! This can feed an army!

Shredded beef taco cups with corn salsa
I've made these a few times...they are one of my favorite things...perfect for a lunch with friends!

Menu For the Week

It's been forever since I posted last...I guess I've been kind of in a slump...or just really busy! But posting my menu is easy so I'll start there!

Garlic Shrimp Linguine, salad, bread, raspberries and cream for dessert
This was rapidly consumed by everyone! Seriously so easy and one of the yummiest things I've ever made (a huge statement!)

Serve this to the children with the dressing for dipping. For Bob and I, served over romaine, sliced hard boiled eggs, bacon, shredded cheese and croutons-yummo!

Grilled Pork Chops, mashed potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes

I got this yummy recipe from my friend and it so easy and so delicious! If anyone wants the recipe, let me know

Menu for the Week

This week will be a catch-up week on the meals we missed the past two weeks...with the holiday and family in town, we've missed some of the meals on our menu. At least I don't have to come up with new ideas. And the Parmesan Chicken with Cream Sauce was such a hit, we're doing it again!
