Here are the meals I plan to make this week! I must admit sometimes I change the sides around depending on how I feel for example; if I have rice as I side one day and potatoes as another, sometimes I will switch the sides around depending on how we feel. Hopefully soon I hope to add more recipes and figure out how to make that simple for you all to get to them. Enjoy.
Meals week 9/26-10/2
Mon.- Baked chicken legs, mashed potatoes and green beans.
Tues.-Veggie spaghetti (no meat or ground turkey, just sauce with mushrooms, olives, etc)
Weds- Breakfast for dinner
Thurs- Roasted chicken, rice and corn
Friday- Taco's ( I make homemade refried beans, recipe below)
Sat. Leftover chicken pot pie
Sun. Salmon, rice and zucchini grilled with olive oil and salt and pepper.
My Homemade Refried Beans
This is my very simple and easy recipe for homemade refried beans. One side note, I like trying to homemake as much as I can to control sodium and what goes in it. I dont have exact measurements because I go buy taste and what my family likes so have fun and experiment with it. Start out adding a little spice and work your way up to what you like.
1 can pinto beans (I have dried pinto beans to try but haven't had time yet to soak and cook them)
olive oil
chili powder
garlic powder
cumin

1 can pinto beans (I have dried pinto beans to try but haven't had time yet to soak and cook them)
olive oil
chili powder
garlic powder
cumin
Drain pinto beans and add to food processer, I shake about a teaspoon of chili powder and garlic powder on them. Then I probably use about a tablespoon of cumin. I'm guessing on my teaspoon and tablespooon amounts, I usually just sprinkle it in but I do add more cumin than the chili or garlic powder. Then I pour Olive Oil in to wet the beans. Let the food processer do the work and keep using olive oil (or a little water if you dont want strong olive oil taste) to get the consistancy you like. I always taste and add a little more cumin as needed. I then to make it simple microwave them for about 2mins or depending on if I feel like doing another pan will heat them in a small saucepan on the stove. When I make them on Friday I will try to get more accurate measurements and update this post to give you a better idea. Sorry if its confusing, enjoy!
