My week's menu didn't work out quite as I had planned...I was really delinquent in the vegetable department, for one thing:

Sunday - Shabbos leftovers
Monday - mushroom barley soup, meatballs in gravy, jasmine rice,
Tuesday - tuna-noodle casserole for me and baby, yogurt and hardboiled egg for one kid, Cheerios and yogurt for the other. Dh had four croissants and a pastry on the way home from work and wasn't interested in supper
Wednesday - lox sandwiches and leftover casserole for kids, steak supper for dh and me
Thursday - schnitzel and mashed potatoes

ra_mom those chicken lollypops were a hit here tonight, thanks Smile

Pleasure!
I've got to get our propane tank refilled for our bbq grill so I can make some for my family as well. We need more variety it seems Smile

What's your carmelized chicken recipe? Tongue Out

Crunchy Onion Chicken
2 cups French's french fried onions
2 Tbsp flour
1/8 - 1/4 tsp salt
1.5 lbs. chicken breasts, pounded and/or cut for cutlets
1 egg, beaten

Crush crispy onions with flour and salt in a plastic bag.
Dip chicken pieces in egg. Coat in onion crumbs. Press firmly to adhere.
Bake uncovered at 400 for 20 minutes.
(You may need to make more of the onion/flour/salt mixture.)

awesome! this looks like the recipe for the chicken I was just about to buy from the carryout place last week! LOL

The caramelized chicken recipe is from the Binah's "20 Minute Supper Revolution" article (thanks to Imamother for the heads-up on that article!) written by EG Schwartz.

Place cleaned chicken quarters in a 9x13 pan atop sliced onions; add peeled, sliced sweet potatoes. Mix ketchup, garlic powder, apricot jam/brown sugar (should be a thick mixture), pour over pan, cover tightly, bake at 350 for 2 hours.

(I'm not crazy about sweet food but my husband is, so this is in his honor! Wink

How come I never saw that 20 minute supper article in the Binah? Sad

I made sure to buy it that week (I usually buy it most weeks anyway.)

Are you sure you didn't get it? It was the May 10 issue. (I think the Mon before Shavuos? It had a bit of Shavuos material in it...)

im just wondering, but do you feel all ok to give your family a meal of only carbs? or do you make sure there is a mix of carb, protein, and veggie....somehow I feel so not together if I dont serve all 3. like pototatos and cheese sounds delicious, but I would feel so guilty if there was nothing green. just wondering....

I didn't see any menus here without vegetables, except mine. embarrassed

I do usually try to get in vegetables, though. Everyone else here pretty much has vegetables every day in one form or another.

• 1 small onion, grated OR 1 small onion chopped and sauteed
