Busy Week 2/21-2/27

We are leaving on vacation for ten days, so this week needs to be easy and not create a lot of leftovers. Hopefully this works well into your lives as well. Also, clearly I will be gone next week, so don't be eagerly awaiting a post on Sunday...Kasey!!

Meal One: Cauliflower Soup with BLTA's

Meal Two: Taco Salad

Meal Three: Mushroom Turkey Burgers

Meal Four : Cold Sesame noodles with Shredded Chicken

Cauliflower Soup: I use the Rachel Ray cauliflower soup recipe from foodtv.com, and BLTA's are no brainer!!

Taco Salad: I use turkey burger, just 1/2 lb (saving the other half for the turkey burgers the next night) I think this recipe is on a previous blog.

Mushroom Turkey Burgers: mix together raw turkey burger, sauteed mushrooms and shallot (both diced very small), handful bread crumbs, handful of Parmesan, fresh parsley and one egg. Form into patties and fry/bake/bbq or george them to perfection. I serve them on sandwich things and top with spicy greens and garlic/rosemary mayo (just finely chop fresh rosemary and garlic and mix with mayo).

Cold Sesame Noodles with chicken: This comes from "the best 3 minute recipe" book, the best cookbook yet!!! Also can be found at the cooks illustrated website. I haven't tried this recipe yet but I am going to give it a shot on Tuesday, I'll let you know how it turns out.
