October's Menu
Wiener Schnitzel
This is a simpler, lighter version of the German specialty. We use thin chicken breast
with a lightly seasoned coating, browned in olive oil and, and cooked several minutes
until done. I served it with sweet corn and German red cabbage (in the jar). The
leftover piece made a great sandwich.
Cooking method: stove top        10-15 minutes        6 servings

Stuffed Northern Italian Pasta Shells
These large shells are stuffed with ground beef, spinach, cream cheese, onions, and
cheese, and topped with a tomato sauce. A nice mixture you are sure to like. Serve with
a tossed salad.
Cooking method: oven        1 hour        8 servings            

Corn Chowder
Here is great soup you don’t find in the store. Very tasty and we have it here. Its mix is
corn, potato, red bells, onion, celery, coriander, cream, and it’s topped off with crisp
bacon. Serve it with some cornbread muffins and you will feel warm inside.
Cooking method: crock pot        6 hours        6 servings

Five Spice Grilled Chicken
Chicken breast marinate in cumin, chili powder, curry powder, kosher salt, and black
pepper, sealing in the moisture while adding a layer of flavor. Serve with rice pilaf and
a garden salad for a wonderfully simple dinner.
Cooking method: grill or oven        15-20 minutes        6 servings

Buttermilk Pork Chop
These chops are marinated in a brine of buttermilk, lemon zest, rosemary, and sage,
which makes the chop really tender. Serve with roasted butternut squash and green
beans.
Cooking method: stove top        10-15 minutes        6 servings

Jambalaya Mix        no split
This is a mix of rice, lots of spices, a tomato sauce and smoked sausage. You will have
everything you need except the garlic Texas toast.
Cooking method: stove top        20-25 minutes        4-5 servings

Turkey Rolls
You can enjoy these turkey rolls and not feel the least bit guilty. Although stuffed
with ham and cheese, and rolled in dried bread crumbs, they are still low in fat. Their
special taste and appearance make them nice for company. Serve with a pasta salad.
Cooking method: oven        40 minutes        6 servings

Round Steak Sauerbraten
Very flavorful beef strips and sauce that simmer to tenderness in a slow cooker.
They are especially good served over rice.
Cooking method: crock pot        6-7 hours        6 servings

Ginger Shrimp with angel hair pasta
This is another great shrimp dish! Ginger, garlic, basil, parsley, tomatoes, and chicken
broth make this a delightful dinner served over angel hair pasta. It just needs some
garlic toast.
Cooking method: stove top        10-15 minutes        4 servings

Middle Eastern Chicken
Chicken breast strips simmered with tomatoes, broth, onion soup mix, and tomato
paste. After chicken is done, you add artichokes, black olives, allspice, and cinnamon.
Another entrée everyone can enjoy. Serve with whole wheat pita triangles, and mixed
greens salad.
Cooking method: stove top        20-25 minutes        6 servings

Mojave Meatloaf
Cilantro, spices and corn accent this updated version of the classic comfort food.
You can bake potatoes alongside the meatloaf for a fulfilling meal.

Frozen Blizzard Dessert
This is a refreshing dessert. It reminds me of the dairy queen banana split blizzards I
still love to order. It has sour cream, bananas, pineapples, cherries, nuts and a
couple other ingredients. Trust me on this one, you will love it.
Cooking method: none        5 minute thaw        9 servings
