Okay, so last week I found it really difficult to have the meals on the days I had selected so this week i'm just posting what the meals will be. There were a couple meals we didn't even get to try so this week we'll give it a second go around.


Ground beef Stroganoff, mashed potatoes and corn

Ginger Sesame Chicken with baby sage potatoes and asparagus

Sweet and Sour pork, chow mein and stir fry veggies and or oriental salad

Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes and carrots and garden salad

Poached salmon, steamed rice and broccoli

Homemade pizza and ceasar salad
Jenny, this is the one i'm going to try (cutting it in half for Hal and I):

CHICKEN CHOW MEIN

1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 c. sliced Chinese cabbage
3 c. thinly sliced celery
1 (1 lb.) can bean sprouts, drained
1 (4 oz.) can water chestnuts, sliced
2 tsp. sugar
2 c. chicken broth or water
2 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 c. cold water
1/4 c. soy sauce
2 c. sliced cooked chicken, cut in slivers
Chow mein noodles

Heat oil, salt and pepper in deep skillet. Add cabbage, celery, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, and sugar.
Stir in chicken broth; cook about 10 minutes.
Blend cornstarch, water and soy sauce. Add to vegetable mixture and stir until mixture thickens.
Add chicken. Heat through. Serve over hot chow mein noodles.
Yield: 4-6 servings.
