So I have planned another week!! It has to do with being on a tight budget. Still in Crazy-Christmas-Unexpected-Travel recovery. Anyway, I’ve had to improvise a bit last week with the cranberry chicken. Thought I had everything only to find I was out of the Russian/Catalina dressing for the dish. Oy. BH&G to the rescue. Turns out there is a recipe for Russian dressing (pg 945). I added minced onion and garlic (sautéed first) and it turned out exactly the same as the store bought dressing.
Then today I have Sheppard’s Pie on the menu. Well the kids don’t care for this dish much. I think the flavor that they don’t like is the Worcestershire sauce. I have been trying to find the right mix to make it tasty and moist. Most recipes just have you throw the meat and veggies in the dish, top with potatoes and call it good. So I made a gravy-ish mix (for chicken pot pie pg. 860, BH&G) to toss the meat and veggies in….YUM. I mixed in mozzarella with the potatoes along with butter, sour cream and S&P. I will top it off just before baking with grated cheddar cheese. Oh and I added a sprig of chopped fresh sage (at least I think it is sage!) Also added the last of the tofu. I am excited and hope they will like it. I'll try and take a picture tonight and add it later.
Happy Eating!
