Menu Plan Monday 1/31-2/6: Light Fare and Superbowl!

Hopefully, I'll have my stuff more together this week, since I kind of screwed up last week's menu plan by forgetting that we were going to be gone for 2 days on a camping trip! This week's menu is going to be light fare and of course there's going to be some game day faves too! I hope you enjoy these recipes and stop by www.orgjunkie.com to see her full menu plan as well! Also, don't forget, if you haven't already, sign up for the Full Size Giveaway! It's still got pretty low entry numbers!

Monday: Garlic & Soy Chicken Thighs Legs

Served with spinach salad and curried brown rice

This looks so good, but I'm gonna try it with legs instead, since I don't have any thighs handy! 

Tuesday: Chipotle Chicken and Pear Salad

How can it get any lighter than this? 

Wednesday: Fend for Yourself Night

Thursday: Complete Barbecue Dinner in Your Crockpot

This recipe has inspired me to try to think of my own recipes to make this way.

Friday: Undecided: I might make something new that I can post in  a future plan!

Saturday: Dinner at The Olive Garden in celebration of our anniversary a month ago! This is our favorite restaurant! But of course, I'll be using a coupon I clipped a couple of weeks ago!

Sunday: Game Day!! Who're you goin' for? Me? I'm a little undecided since my team (Seahawks) has a history with both teams! 

Beef nachos

Lil smokies smothered in bbq sauce

Alicia's Healthified Greek Layered Dip (for moi) with pita chips

deli wraps

In case anyone is wondering, that Tri-tip with sundried tomatoes and feta was PHENOMENAL!

Artichoke and Spinach Dip: YUM!

Artichoke and Spinach Dip

This recipe has been passed down from my mom, who got it from my sister's sister-in-law, who got it from her mother-in-law! It is by far the best dip I have ever eaten, and I could definitely sit down with a box of crackers and eat the entire pan all by myself! I'll follow up with a picture tonight!

1 jar/can (12-14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

2 cups spinach leaves, rinsed

8 oz cream cheese

1 cup parmesen cheese

1/2 c mayo

1/2 c sour cream

1 tsp garlic powder

1 roma tomato, chopped

Preheat oven to 350. Combine artichokes and spinach in a food processor and chop (you can also just chop these by hand). Put mixture in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients, except tomato and mix until all ingredients are combined with an electric mixer. Pour into 9x13 pan. Top with tomato. Bake for 30 minutes.

Serve with baguette, crackers, chips, or vegies.
