So….here is another week of meals!
Leftover Sweet Potato Fries – As I mentioned in my last post, Tim added some tomatoes to the leftover chili, to help cut the spices. While the chili tasted super good, it did NOT agree with the hlo belly! My digestion was a little effed for like 3 days. Evidently I cannot handle multiple tablespoons of hot spices in my food. Lesson learned.
Balsamic Glazed Drumsticks with Turnip and Rutabega Fries (pg 159 of Primal Blueprint Quick & Easy Meals) – These drumsticks were AWESOME!! They were super easy, and they tasted like teriyaki chicken. My only regret is that I bought a package of 5 drumsticks. Next time I will buy a pack of 8 at least, so we’ll have some of these for leftovers. Mark Sisson has the BEST recipes. He puts a lot of pictures in his recipes, which is great for showing you how the food should look, but not so great for printing out a nice, concise recipe. But I’ll take them however he wants to present them. The fries were good too, I thought. You basically cut the turnips and rutabegas into fry shape, microwave them for 8 minutes, and then bake them until they get crispy. I chopped them up and sauteed them with other veggies for breakfast the next morning. Super tasty.
Best Ever Chicken Wings -I’m not sure if I can agree with the name. I mean, these were good, but they are not the “best ever.” I think it boils down to, I just don’t really like sesame oil. These were good, and we ate them all, but next time I might try to use a different oil.
Beef Brats – I picked up beef brats from Geest Farms at the Farmers Market weekend before last. These were SUPER TASTY. Would definitely buy, cook, and eat them again.
