Menu Monday 26 July 2010

Posted by Hallee on Jul 26, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of July 26, 2010. As far as desserts go, we still have leftover birthday cake, so I’ll probably not make much this week. If I do anything, it will be some homemade strawberry ice cream and some cookies to load up the cookie jar. We are going out of town Wednesday morning and will be home Saturday, so I’m not going to post those days.

Quick & Succulent Pizza Snack

Posted by Hallee on Apr 22, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Parenting, preschool activities, Recipes, Snacks

I improvised. I had some table water cookies and thought that they would make a good crust. I worried that they would get soggy, but they didn’t at all. They were perfect. I made the sauce quickly, using ketchup and spices. Twenty minutes after Scott voiced the desire for pizza for lunch, we were sitting down to enjoy it.

Spinach Lasagna

Posted by Hallee on Mar 20, 2010 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes

This is one of my favorite lasagna recipes. It is extremely simple and so easy to make. I love the fact that you don’t have to cook the noodles beforehand, which makes it much less labor intensive and easier to put together. The lack of meat in the recipe makes it a perfect recipe during Lent as well.

Greek Lenten Tomato Fritters (Domatokeftethes)

Posted by Hallee on Feb 19, 2010 in Breads, Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Mediterranean, Recipes, sides, Snacks, starters

Tomato fritters are a delightful appetizer or side dish, and a specialty of Santorini, a Greek island known for its tomatoes. The combination of herbs can be adjusted to include dill, parsley, basil, mint, or oregano, depending on taste preference. The recipe calls for self-rising flour. This meatless, eggless, dairyless dish is perfect for Lent or a Daniel Fast. The fresh vegetables in it also make a wonderful summer dish to prepare with the bounty out of a vegetable garden (and, come on – who isn’t desperately searching for zucchini recipes right around mid-August?)

Maple Snow Ice Cream

Posted by Hallee on Jan 30, 2010 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

Here in Kentucky, we got a couple feet of fresh snowfall last night. After lunch today, I thought I’d give a try at homemade snow ice cream. I’d seen it mentioned a few times around the blogging world, but I wanted to make a healthy version without white sugar. I saw maple syrup used in one of the recipes I read, and thought that would be the perfect flavor to blend with the vanilla and the cream. It was quite delicious.

Hallee’s Heavenly Homemade Pizza

Posted by Hallee on Nov 15, 2009 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes

My kids love homemade pizza. They do not enjoy typical takeout or deli pizzas at all. This crust is just right and makes the pizza as good as it is.

Whole Wheat Penne Pasta with Chicken & Veggies

Posted by Hallee on Oct 4, 2009 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Italian, Recipes

I was hungry for something creamy and pasta-y with chicken and veggies, so I put “pasta with chicken and veggies” on the menu this week and made the recipe up on the fly. It turned out very nice.
