Hey everyone, I found these on Parenting.com and thought they all sounded great. Wanted to share with all you out there looking for something easy and quick to do:)
Monday: Chicken and corn-tomato Salad
Cook 1 1/4 lb boneless chicken breasts in a large skillet. Remove the chicken, then add sliced scallions and minced garlic, stirring for about a minute. Add 2 pints halved cherry tomatoes and 2 cups corn kernels, and cook a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the chicken on top of the salad, with a squeeze of lime, cilantro, and avocado wedges.
Tuesday: Tricolor Pepper Steak
Cook 1 1/4 lb thinly sliced steak in a large skillet until browned. Remove the meat, and add 5 sliced peppers of all colors, 1 large sliced onion, and 4 sliced cloves of garlic. Cook until the onion is soft, then add 1 1/2 cups beef broth, a splash of red wine and soy sauce, and black pepper. Simmer until the liquid reduces; serve with brown rice.
