Weekly Dinner Menu

I know...I'm posting this a bit late in the week :( Between getting home late Sunday night from South Carolina and having an offsite with work this week, it's been a little hectic. The good news is I had already figured out the dinner schedule since I did it at the end of last week. At any rate, here are some tasty recipes to try.

Dinner Suggestion 1:
*Apple Covered Pork Chops (1 can apple pie filling, 1 Box Stovetop Stuffing, 6 (4 oz.) Pork Chops - you can cook fewer pork chops, but will have leftover stuffing and apple pie filling)

• Grease 13x9 pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook stuffing according to directions on the box.
  
• Sprinkle salt and pepper on pork chops. Brown pork chops in pan on stove.
• Spread apple filling on bottom of pan. Place pork chops on top of filling.
• Scoop stuffing and place on top of pork chops.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake pork chops for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cook for additional 10 minutes.
  

*Sauteed Brussel Sprouts

• Heat frying pan with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil on medium.
  
• Slice brussel sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and place in pan.
• Cook until brown and soft.

Dinner Selection 2:
*Salmon Marinade Teriyaki Style - My Mom's recipe that is amazing :)
-Mix the following ingredients in a bowl and then place in a plastic freezer bag:

• 2 chopped green onions
• 2 cloves of pressed garlic
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worsterchire Sauce

-Add 2 good size salmon fillets to the bag. Place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Rotate bag twice (if possible. I don't always have time to do this.) Bake salmon at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked all the way through.

*Butternut Squash with Brown Butter

Dinner Selection 3:
*Pan seared chicken breasts with olive oil, salt and pepper
*Low-fat Baked Onion Rings - these were amazing...definitely a keeper! (Tip: you might need extra panko and Italian seasoning. I didn't use cornflakes and they came out great!)
