One of my favorite things about menu planning is perusing lots of blogs and cookbooks for great new recipes! Oh, that is so much fun. I like to try new foods and ways to cook them. This week we have company coming so my recipes will be filled with added love!  I hope you find something on the menu that you want to try!

THURSDAY

I have a “sous vide”! It is the best way to cook PERFECT meat and seafood!

A sous vide (sue-veed’) is a heating element that heats and circulates water in a pot and cooks meats etc that are placed in a plastic bag and attached to the side of the pot. It cooks meat to a perfect temperature throughout and holds it until you need it. This is one kitchen appliance you just might want to look into!

See my sous vide HERE.

• SOUS VIDE PORK TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH APPLE, BRIE AND BACON ONION JAM
• MASHED POTATOES
• GREEN BEANS WITH BACON

FRIDAY

We are huge meat eaters here at StoneGable but I am trying to cook fish or shell fish twice a week. The key for me is to fancy-it-up a little! This mayo crusted salmon is scrumptious! This is a recipe to have in your recipe box!

• MAYONNAISE CRUSTED BAKED SALMON
• GARDEN TOMATOES
• ROASTED ASPARAGUS 

SATURDAY

I think if I could have a last meal it would include a fabulous hamburger and movie popcorn! I come by this craving honestly. Both my mom and sister love hamburgers like I do! They have to be juicy and cooked to perfection! And must have a plethora of fixing on them too! I can’t wait for these mouth watering burgers!
