Meal Plan Monday

Hello friends! It has been a while.  Life outside of Addicted to Recipes has been rather hectic.  Spring as sprung, and we are on the go non-stop - between our jobs (hubs and I both work full-time, plus we own a business, plus I've been working a lot of overtime...20 hours of OT last week), our kids (both active in swimming, guitar, tennis, hockey and more), and our hobbies (gardening, camping, sports, etc)- I just haven't been on my computer much to put recipes to posts.  Things should start to settle now that we are heading into summer...lots of vacation time coming for this girl!

Here is this week's meal plan:

Sunday - BBQ Pork Chops, Dawn's Baked Beans, Salad

Monday - Leftovers

Tuesday - Soup & Sandwiches - my hubby and I are taking a pottery class together on Tuesday, so we'll need a quick dinner before we head to class 

Wednesday - Soft Tacos with Homemade Taco Seasoning

Thursday - BBQ Chicken, Salad, Grilled Vegetables

Friday - Homemade pizza

Saturday - Steak, Potato Salad, Asparagus

Happy Meal Planning!

Throwback Thursday

It has been a quiet week here at Addicted to Recipes.  The kids are on spring break (for 2 weeks!) and we've been enjoying some extra time with them (meaning a few later nights, staying up reading with the oldest since he doesn't have school in the morning) - and at work, it's been very busy with year end, number crunching and reading way too many spreadsheets.  I've also been catching up on MasterChef Canada episodes, did you see that creation for Nanaimo Bar Periogies this week?  Wowzas!

I know I recently shared this Throwback Recipe for Nanaimo Bar Ice Cream Cake, but given I'm now craving Nanaimo Bars after watching MasterChef, I just had to share it again!  The link to the original recipe is via the title.  Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday

Hello friends! Welcome back to this week's Throwback Thursday.  Today I am sharing a favourite from last summer.  Oh how can't wait for summer to come and to make these!  Link to the original recipe is in the title below.

Enjoy!

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

My boys are big fans of pulled pork.  You've seen the recipes that I have posted for Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork (my hubby loves this one) and BBQ Pulled Pork.  And we all know that I like trying new recipes, so when I came across this recipe over at 100 Days of Real Food, I thought I should give it a try!  Here is the recipe:

Approx. 3 lbs of pork (loin, shoulder, roast), halved
3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and halved

In a bowl mix the spices together (paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, thyme).  Add in the honey, the red wine vinegar and the olive oil, mix well to make a paste.

Line the bottom of the slow cooker with the halved onion.  Lay the pork on top of the onion.  Spoon the paste over the pork - there will be way more paste than pork, and that's OK.  The extra paste will run down along the bottom of the crock pot and the onions will love that flavour. 

Cook for 8 hours on low, after 8 hours, shred the pork with a fork.

VERDICT:
This one is another hit - it was very tasty.  We turned ours into sandwiches (of course!) and served with coleslaw.  Added bonus, an easy list of ingredients that are standard stock in our pantry.  Will certainly make this again.

Meal Plan Monday

Hello everyone! I'm a little late in posting this week's meal plan - after a very busy weekend at the rink (playoff tournament for our oldest son's hockey team)...and then said son ended up being sick last night, obviously the priority was to support and care for our little guy.

He's having a rest right now, which means that I have a chance to pop on and share this week's plan.  Here it is!

Sunday - Southwestern Chicken Chili

Monday - Leftover Southwestern Chicken Chili

Tuesday - Balsamic Roast Beef and Mixed Green Salad

Wednesday - Leftovers

Thursday - Curried Cauliflower Soup (recipe coming soon!) & Salad

Friday - Butter Chicken

Saturday - Leftovers

Have a great week!
