On The Menu 4th Week Of February

Get inspired with this On The Menu for the 4th week of February, featuring 39 delicious, easy-to-make recipes. Delicious recipes that will keep you and your family well fed all week!

The image above is a place setting detail from the Bohemian table I set for a Galentine Dinner. Lots of patterns and colors! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and we had to cancel our evening. So, I got out a couple white plastic dishpans and filled them with everything on the table but the flatware and the flowers to save for our rescheduled Galentine party in a couple of weeks.

39 delicious recipes are featured On The Menu this week, and I’m in a cooking mood. I hope you have a scrumptious week!

Monday

Salmon is one fish we eat weekly. There are so many ways to make it! Bake it, grill it, pan fry it, air fry it, make it into a burger or cake, smoke it—there are so many delicious options! If you want to pan-sear the perfect salmon and want to know how to pick the best one, see THIS VIDEO.

For tonight’s dinner, I’m making a delicious Asian-inspired dish. I love the marinade for this recipe from A Family Feast. I’ll be following Jack and Martha’s recipe, and instead of grilling it, we are going to air fry it at 400° for 8 minutes.

The salmon is paired with lemon orzo and fresh roasted asparagus. We almost always roast asparagus in the oven or on the grill. When it is done, we give it a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of cheese. I could make a meal out of spring asparagus.

Tuesday

We eat a lot of organic chicken! Like salmon, there are so many ways to make it. Bobby and I prefer thighs because they are tastier and juicier than white meat. Tonight’s main dish from A Pinch Of Healthy is an easy and delicious way to bake chicken thighs.

I like this recipe because it is versatile. Changing the spices changes the flavor profile. This dish is one for the recipe box. Another must-make is our favorite, Nani’s Sauteed Chicken. It’s a winner-winner chicken dinner, too. I published this post in 2015… 10 years ago. The images are terrible, but the recipe is incredibly delicious.

I’m pairing the chicken thighs with Broccoli Cauliflower Bake. This dish looks gorgeous and appetizing. I love pretty food, don’t you?

Wednesday

Stir-fry is the perfect recipe when you need a quick meal. This delicious recipe from Kelly at Chef Savvy is one of our favorites. Marinate the flank steak the night before, and it will take on the most sweet and tangy Asian flavors. This recipe is a great way to use the leftover broccoli from Tuesday’s menu.

I feel like I buried the headline because this is a one-pan meal. Yay, easy clean-up!

I’m also trying my hand at Rice Paper Dumplings tonight. I love the idea of making them. I have never made this kind of dumpling before, so I am very excited to give this recipe a try. And they look amazing.

Thursday- Soup Day

Soup makes a delicious meal. We live in the southern part of Lancaster Co., about 30 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay. Seafood is so good around here, especially the clams. For tonight’s clam chowder, and I’m making this soup the easy way with canned clams. To amp up the flavor, I topped the chowder with bacon. The smoky flavor is delightful with the clams!

I’m pairing the soup with beer bread. Beer bread is a quick bread, so it does not need yeast to rise. The beer in the bread gives this easy bread a rich flavor that works well with seafood.

Friday

Fridays are pizza and a movie day! Our son and his family will come over for dinner, and the “littles” will watch a movie with Bobby- he loves kid movies! Pizza dinner and a movie night was a tradition when our children were growing up they have carried on with this family tradition with their children! This makes my heart happy!

Wait till you see the picture of the pizza! Oh, my! It will be served with the beautiful salad below. Its favors are like you’re eating a Hogie! So we will all love it!

I’m making our favorite chocolate chip cookies and serving them with ice cream and sprinkles.

Saturday- Grilling Day

Tonight’s main dish is all about the chimichurri sauce. The grilled chicken looks delicious, too, but honestly, it is just a vehicle to eat the sauce. Chimichurri and pesto are my kryptonite sauces. All of my grandchildren actually like chimichurri sauce! That’s pretty sophisticated for 6 grandkids eight and under.

You can see my chimichurri recipe HERE. This beautiful herb sauce comes from Argentina. Thanks, Shawn from Kitchen Swagger.

I’m serving the chicken with my air fryer crispy potatoes and grilled marinated vegetables. Our marinade is very similar to the recipe below. I add a couple of garlic cloves and fresh chopped basil. We pour the marinade over the vegetables after they have been grilled. No matter, you will want to make this recipe. I make a huge amount of veggies and eat them for lunch all week.

It’s grilling time, although the weather has been very cold, windy, and snowy. Thank goodness Bobby likes to grill even in inclement weather.

Sunday- Slow Cooker Soup Day

It’s another soup night. We love soup, even if we have two different soups in a week! Tonight’s soup is made in a slow cooker. Super easy! On busy days, it’s just so smart to put a slow cooker to work! And this soup gets better the next day! I’ll toast leftover Beer Bread from earlier this week and then broil it with cheese. YUM!

My friend Donna will be with us for dinner and we will watch a TV series we are binging!

Sweet Treat Of The Week

Bobby’s favorite dessert is cheesecake. You would think I would have made him one in all the hundreds of years we have been married. But, sadly, no!

So I’m going to make him one this week. I’ll follow the Preppy Kitchen’s tips, but Averie’s recipe from Averie Cooks. Yes, the cheesecake is gorgeous!
