Veggie Taco Perfection
(lettuce, tomato, radish, cheese, salsa, hot sauce, sour cream) 
Asian Chicken Salad
Evening guys! So tonight I made 2 of the Blue Apron meals. Mushroom and Cabbage Dumplings and Asian Chicken Steamed Buns. They paired perfectly together. Becca LOVED the steamed buns and kinda liked the dumplings. Katie cleaned her plate. We made them try a bite of cabbage. They didn’t try to spit it out, so I consider that a sucess!
*not pictured—sesame soy glaze dipping sauce that was used to top the buns and dip the dumplings =)
I made this salad out of all the leftovers…Shredded Purple Cabbage, chicken cut in to bite-sized pieces, thinly sliced cucumbers, sesame seeds, and a lovely sesame dressing (1 tablespoon miso, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon mayo. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper, and you have yourself a delightful summer salad! Taking this for lunch tomorrow!
The Last Weekly Meal Plan…
until fall! Summer is a week away for us here! So excited to not be at school for a couple of months. I don’t really do much meal planning in the summer, so this will be my last one until all the craziness of school, homework, cheer practice, etc. all start back again. Nothing new or inventive this week. It will be a killer, so I am sticking with popular and easy recipes.
Sunday- Steak, potatoes, and veggies
Monday- Blue Apron Meal
Tuesday- Stuffed Shells
Wednesday- Baked Tacos
Thursday- Pan Fried Porkchops
Friday- Out!!!
Have a great week!
Easy Butter Chicken
I have been craving Indian food all week, so today at the store I took a trip down the international aisle. The Indian section is very small. If you blink you’ll miss it. I spied this Butter Masala sauce, so I decided to give this one a try to make Butter Chicken. 
I kinda sorta followed the directions on the jar, per usual. I diced up my protein in bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, I added a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and garam masala (Indian spice). Then I sautéed the chicken for a few minutes until brown on the outside. Then I added the sauce pan and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
I served with basmati rice, peas, and naan. 
The girls actually liked it!
Impromptu Date Night
Was looking forward to a quiet evening with a spread of Indian take out. Didn’t happen, but got to spend an impromptu sushi date night with the hubby.
This was the spicy mayo eel roll (Gaga roll) and the shrimp tempura roll (Dragon Roll).
Close-up…that spicy mayo is amazing!
Pan-fried dumplings and Pork Shumai
All of it was delicious.
Indian food will most likely happen tomorrow.
