Week of March 12

Well, I am trying to post these menus by Friday night so ya’ll can shop over the weekend, but this weekend has kept me very busy and away from home. Tonight we were invited to friends for dinner. I felt like a caprese salad, but opted instead to make caprese salad bites….check these out --->


Here is my menu this week: Yes, homemade pizza reappears tomorrow, last Friday night had other plans for us!

Monday - Homemade pizza
Tuesday – Santa Fe Chicken
Wednesday – Avocado Wraps Recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/creamy_avocado_white_bean_wrap.html
Thursday – Chicken Marbella
Friday – Tacos
Saturday – Out
Sunday – Winging it!

Chicken Marbella is something you make the night before….great for our Thursday night this week. A friend passed this along to me years ago….it sounds like a strange mix of flavors, but they all go together so well once cooked.
Chicken Marbella
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 head garlic, chopped
¼ cup dried oregano
Salt and pepper
½ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup EVOO
1 cup pitted prunes
½ cup pitted green olives
½ cup capers (add a little juice)
6 bay leaves
------------------------------
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white wine

Marinate all of this overnight. Bake at 350, basting frequently, for 50-60 minutes.
