Veal Marsala

Veal Marsala over fresh linguine served with oven roasted garlic asparagus, drizzled with balsamic glaze. The Marsala sauce was from Campbell's Sauces & it was delicious!! I would definitely recommend them! Just cut the pouch and pour!

I used some of the leftover lamb roast from last night and made a gyro salad: greens, red peppers, egg, cucumber, olives, lamb, goat cheese and tzatziki dressing.

Stuffed lamb

Spinach, sundried tomatoes and goat cheese stuffed in a boneless lamb roast for dinner. Served with caprese salad and orzo & wild rice sautéed with green onions, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh parsley.

Pasta primavera

Whole wheat pasta primavera. Adding lots of veggies really makes a little serving of pasta turn into a filling plate! I used onions, asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and parsley. Topped with just a few fresh parm shavings.

Steak & vegetable hash (leftover steak, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, peppers & mushrooms) topped with poached eggs. Along with an orange for a yummy breakfast.

Lamb shanks (fall off the bone tender from cooking in the crock pot!) over spaghetti squash with mixed veggies & a roll. It was quite yummy if I do say so myself!
