Week 2 Menu

Sorry I did not get this posted on Sunday. Maybe you can use it next week if you like it. This was my menu last week. Well, it is what I wrote out. We only used about half the meals on here. Last night my family informed me that if we could just have pizza about 4 days out of the week, they would all be satisfied (eye roll). Anyway, without further ado, here is my menu:

Mon: Orange Chicken and rice
Tuesday: Hamburger and bean enchilada's, canned corn
Wed: Alfredo pasta, broccoli and bread sticks
Thur: Baked potatoes and Ham
Fri: Pizza
Sat: Soup or leftovers
Sunday: Crepe's, frozen mixed veggies, strawberries, yogurt, sausage

My Orange Chicken recipe that I got out of a magazine:

1 Tbsp. plus 1/3 cup cornstarch, divided
1 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 in. cubes
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh carrots
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion

Prepare rice. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 Tbs. cornstarch, orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper; set aside.
Place remaining cornstarch in a large reasealable back and shake to coat. Cook in oil until juices run clear. Remove chicken from skillet.
In the same skillet saute the carrots for 2 min. Add green pepper and onion; saute 2-3 min. longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 min or until thickened. Add chicken; heat through.
Serve with rice!

I've used this recipe before and it is really yummy.

For the enchilada's I just use the recipe Mom posted on this blog a long time ago (I love it) along with the recipe for whole wheat tortilla's that I posted on here a long time ago (love that too). Let me know if you are interested in my delicious Alfredo sauce recipe and I will post that too.
