Weekly Goals
I'm a list kinda girl. There is great satisfaction in completing the list in my back pocket. In fact I have been known to add a line to my list after I finished a project, just so I can scratch it off. So in effort to get a little more organized and a little more accomplished, I have decided to set 5-7 clear goals for my week.
Some of my goals will be small and simple, and some of them will be big projects I have been working on for a while. Either way I know that writing them down will give me a guide and a tiny bit of accountability. So here goes one more little effort to make myself more productive and efficient. Wanna join me?
1. get fall clothes and decor from attic
2. make it to the gym 5 days
3. get pics printed for hall frames
4. get a cd of our last photo session
5. make eisly's bday party invitations
6. buy canvases for project and frame for big picture
7. email missionaries about christmas catalog

What's for Dinner??
Well last week's menu didn't go quite as planned because my dad got into a motorcycle wreck, and I spent most of my dinner times at the hospital. He is home now recovering, and my family is recovering from a week's worth of fast food and grilled cheese. That being said, I will be reusing most of last week's menu this week, but I do have a couple of changes. What are you cooking?
Monday
Boudain Stuffed Chicken Breast (recipe last week)
Broccoli and Cauliflower
Crescent Rolls
Tuesday
Steak Kabobs
Grilled Asparagus
Couscous
Wednesday
Tacos
Guacamole
Black Beans
Spanish Rice
Thursday
Salmon Patties (recipe below)
Baked Fries
Friday
Fried Backstrap
Mashed Potatoes
Black Eyed Peas
Saturday
Indoor Crab Boil (bonus recipe below)
****************************
Salmon Patties
I am not a fish person, so the thought of making salmon patties always seemed yucky to me. I had heard Matthew talk about his mom's for years, so one day I decided to surprise him with some. I searched a number of recipes and combined them to come up with this surprisingly delicious, quick and easy meal. Enjoy!
1 can of salmon NOT DRAINED (I like the Honey Boy brand)
1 small onion, grated (grating it is the secret to getting the most flavor and the least texture)
2 Tablespoons dried parsley
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
salt and pepper
butter for frying
Mix eggs, salt & pepper, grated onion, parsley, salmon with juice, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
Use your hands to make sure everything is well combined.
Pat into patties. (This makes 8-12)
Roll patties in remaining bread crumbs.
Melt butter in heavy skillet over medium heat.
Nothing is actually having to cook here, so fry them until they are just golden brown.
Set on a paper towel to soak up any excess grease.
Serve with baked fries for a quick and easy meal :)
************************
Indoor Crab Boil
So this isn't really a recipe, and it's not really a crab boil either :) However, I will throw it in for a freebie in case you need something else that is super quick and easy.
gumbo or soup pot
crab boil seasoning
sausage links (I use Zummo's)
potatoes, quartered
corn on the cob
onions, chopped
Throw all the food in your gumbo pot with a little (or a lot of) crab boil seasoning and fill it up with water. Boil it until the potatoes and corn are done. Voila! You've got the taste of crawfish boil without the mess or the money :)

Sprinkle a little cheese on each one.
Take boudain out of the skin and place at one edge of the chicken breast.
Roll the boudain up into the chicken and secure with toothpicks placing the seam down.

What's For Dinner?
Well, it's not Monday, but I'm gonna share this week's menu anyway :)
Also, I have a number of people asking me for recipes lately, and I am terrible about actually getting back to them, so I'm gonna try to include a recipe to go along with our menu each week. I'll also include links to those recipes I got off line. Enjoy...
Monday
Smothered Fries
Tuesday
Tilapia Coubeioun (recipe below)
Asparagus
Wednesday
Burrito Casserole
Thursday
Korean Ribs
Jasmine Rice
Friday
Boudain Stuffed Chicken
Broccoli and Cauliflower
**********************************
Catfish or Shrimp Coubeioun
This is my Maw-Maw Fontenot's recipe, and it is delicious, easy, and not diet food :) Matthew doesn't like catfish or shrimp unless they are fried, so I am using tilapia in effort to make it a little drier and flakier. You could actually use chicken too, but Maw-Maw and Dad would never approve of wasting such an incredible sauce on such meat.
In a heavy skillet, mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1 onion, diced small
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 can of tomato sauce
Saute until everything is tender and well-mixed.
Add
2 cans of water (fill the tomato sauce can twice)
Simmer for 10 minutes or so.
Add
1 1/2 pounds protein
1-2 Tablespoons cornstarch to thicken
Cook over Medium-High heat until protein is ready.
Serve over rice, and enjoy something different tonight!
