Recipes from books that I have
Nov 11, 2010
I decided to dust off some of my favorite cookbooks that I haven't used in a while that I know have high protein, yummy recipes in them. I decided to go ahead and blog the recipes that I want to make for me and the fam in the near future. The balance is difficult because my 15-year-old daughter is a vegetarian and has been for about two years. My husband doesn't eat beef or pork of any kind. Ever. Hasn't for over longer than I've known him. We were actually vegans for about five years, but started back on fish, chicken, turkey about six years ago. My eight-year-old son is just picky, picky, picky, and I now have to focus on ME and getting the protein that I need. So in all of that, I guess I will sometimes be using leftovers and sometimes more than one dish to appease, but I want to use MY meals as a centerpiece for the meal and add things around it. Seems like the most normal thing to do. If the kids don't want the main dish, then I have leftovers! Lots of leftovers!So, from Everyday Food's "Great Food Fast" From the Kitchens of Martha Stewart Living Cookbook:
Some of these are also on Martha Stewart's website and I'm going to link the ones that are, so you can see the recipes that I mean.
*Chicken Parmigiana -this uses bread crumbs, I'll try to find the gluten-free, low carb kind
*Cashew Chicken (ALWAYS YUM! I wouldn't eat the rice)
*Chicken Chilaquiles -this is one of my all-time favorite dishes at our favorite Mexican restaurant and I've been craving it something awful, so we'll see how this one goes. I'll probably have to stick with just the chicken portions.
*Herb-Crusted Snapper
* Fish Tacos -I just want the FISH!! MMM
*Parmesan-Stuffed Chicken Breasts
*Moroccan Chicken Couscous (skip the couscous, but make it for the rest of the family)
*Chicken Curry
Okay, I'll have to do the other cookbooks on another day because I just remembered that I need to finish folding laundry so that people can sit on the seating surfaces in my living room!
