Foodie: Menu Time

I don’t have a full week of recipes I need to work on this week, but here are a few that I am going to make and am very excited about! 

Tonight’s dish is a simple Wedge Salad, but I really can’t stand having to do “work” on my food once it’s on my plate in front of me, so I chop the lettuce and pre-mix it all. I use a head of iceberg lettuce, a pound of cooked bacon (it definitely takes a pound!), a pint of cherry tomatoes (halved), bleu cheese and Ken’s Bleu Cheese Dressing. Mix it together and it’s perfection!

I’ve been craving artichokes but for some reason they have been really expensive. I decided to bite the bullet and pick up 4 for dinner for a night this week. I love dipping mine in ranch dressing, my husband prefers mayo, but I saw this recipe for Roasted Pepper Aioli. I think I might shortcut the roasting and buy them pre made to save time.

We usually have salmon at least once a week and I love trying new sauces on top. This week, I’m going for a Creamy Avocado Sauce and it looks delicious!

Last but not least I found this recipe in my new issue of Family Circle magazine for a Grilled Chicken and Peaches Ciabatta Sandwich. This morning I watched Bobby Flay whip together this amazing salad that would go perfectly with the sandwich. It’s a Peach and Tomato Salad with Sweet Souther Dressing, Pecans and Farmer’s Cheese.
