Weekly Menu - 4/28 - 5/2/08

Oh, did we eat well this weekend. Matt made our favorite comfort meal, roast chicken & vegetables. Its so simple to put together but always feels like a special treat. In a post this week we'll be showing our favorite way to prepare a chicken for roasting, spatchcocking.


Now on to the Menu Planning Monday

Mustard & Pretzel-Coated Chicken Breasts - inspired by a Rachel Ray recipe & an amazing honey mustard we have.
Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese with Ham & Peas - I usually make it with Gruyere, carmelized onions & tomatoes but Matt asked for this combination. - RESULT - This combination is fabulous too.
Beef Stroganoff - My Mom's classic, really easy recipe. - RESULT - Classic comfort food.
Curried Roasted Vegetables over Raisin Couscous - A new take on one of my favorite dishes.

Friday we'll be eating out to celebrate Matt's birthday on the 2nd & mine on the 3rd.

This week's cupcake is a tribute to one of my favorite things, Chocolate Covered Bananas.
