Food for Week of July 27th

There are some repeats for this week so I won’t give recipes for those.

Monday - Tuna noodle casserole & salad or 1 green veg-spinach, zucchini, broccoli etc

Tuesday Chicken or Pork stir fry—chicken breast or lean pork, celery, onion, green veg ( see above) mushrooms, garlic, ginger, low sodium soy sauce,small amount of H2O or broth over soba noodles or similar or brown rice

Wednesday- Chicken stroganoff & salad or carrots raw or cooked seasoned with a bit of marg & honey

Thursday- Order in or go out

Friday- Taco pie vegetarian ( use St Ives ground round )

Saturday- Smokies on the grill with multi grain hot dog buns & store bought bean salad

Sunday- Beer Can chicken veggie kabobs & new potatoes with dill & marg
Delish & fun to make –
1 whole chicken innards removed, rinsed inside & out with cold h2o
Spice mix of your choice-I like Hy’s seasoning salt
1 regular sized c of beer
Oven proof pan for spills oven mitt tongs

For the Oven:
Preheat oven to 400F with rack on the bottom
Rub cleaned chicken inside & out- about 2-3 T seasoning- put 1 tsp in beer can which has ¼ of the beer removed & drunk by someone
Punch a few holes in top of can
Place chicken on can- this is the funny part- chicken’s bottom opening should fit over the can & adjust legs like a tripod Note: Cdn Tire sells a beer can chicken holder for around $5 which does help a lot to secure chicken- not necessary tho.
Place this lovely sight in the pan & into the oven
Reduce heat to 350F after ½ hr. Roast for about 1 ½-2 hrs.Rotate occasionally for even browning
Very carefully remove chicken from oven & then take it off the beer can. Be very careful – the beer is v hot.
Let chicken rest under loose foil on a cutting board for 10 min
Cut up chicken & serve.

For the grill:
Prepare chicken the same way.Light grill. When heated, place chicken in bbq & close lid. Cook over medium heat ( about 350F) for about 2 hrs. Check & rotate every ½ hr.Finish as above.
Bon appétit!
