Manicotti with French Bread

Beginning with homemade tomato sauce, this hand-rolled pasta is created from traditional Italian ingredients: basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil, and four cheeses. The perfect blend of these ingredients combine to achieve a rich, classic Italian dish that is both delicate and completely satisfying.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Bread

This salute to the mighty potato is my favorite soup. The name pretty much says it all. Using the potato in four different ways, I add bacon, onion, and garlic to create a thick, creamy soup that lusciously melts in your mouth. Use your bread to wipe your bowl clean so as not to miss a drop!
PS. Let me know your preference...white or wheat bread.

Chicken Marsala

Lightly buttered egg noodles provide a delicate base for this meal. Tender, lightly-breaded chicken cutlets top the noodles. A lovely bacon/mushroom marsala sauce, made from a few simply ingredients, tops off this impeccable, wildly-popular dish.

Meatloaf

Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

Forget all of the "common" stereotypes and preconceived notions you've ever heard about meatloaf. I use fresh, quality ingredients (including two types of meat), combined with a creative baking method to create a delicious meatloaf that is moist rather than dry, delectable rather than tough, and completely infused with flavor. Topped with a sauce that is both sweet and tangy, this meatloaf is a fan favorite! The garlic mashed red potatoes are the perfect side dish to round out this hearty meal.

Rolled flour tortillas brimming with chicken and a tasty, cheesy tomato sauce, these enchiladas are a big hit with everyone in the family. The chicken is infused with two different kinds of chili peppers, onions, garlic, and a fabulous enchilada sauce. Then rolled and smothered with even more sauce and more cheese. Delicious!

So, I made my kids a promise that on the days that they don't have school, I would dedicate my time to them. Since this Monday is President's Day and my kids will all be home and out of school, I will not be cooking today. It will be Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday this week. Thanks everyone!!

Baked Ziti with Mild Italian Sausage
Garlic Bread

Baked Ziti is a classic Italian American comfort food of pasta baked with sausage, marinara sauce, and all kinds of gooey, yummy cheeses. The marinara sauce is homemade (of course), and the sausage is mild yet provides enough kick of savory seasoning. Scrumptious!

Thursday, February 23
Teriyaki Steak
White Rice
Fortune Cookies

This steak is tenderly cooked and thinly sliced. The teriyaki sauce is homemade using traditional, flavorful Asian ingredients: soy sauce, vinegar, fresh ginger, and a touch of red pepper flakes. I finish it off with green onions and sesame seeds to produce a dish that is both appetizing and visually appealing. The steak is superb over simple white rice. At the end of your meal, enjoy some fun fortune cookies!

Menu for the week of February 13 to February 16

Hi Everyone. For Valentine's day I will not be preparing a meal, however, I will be doing the chocolate cakes and chocolate dipped strawberries that I have done the past couple of years. The cakes and berries have been very popular and those who have ordered them in the past have really seemed to enjoy them. Here is how it will work. If you do just the cake it is $10. If you do the cake and the strawberries (you get 8 dipped strawberries) it will be $15. These will need to be paid separately from your Meagan's Meals account. I have to do them separately from my meals. Pick-up time will be anytime between 3 pm and 6 pm on Valentines day. If you can, let me know approximately what time you will be picking up. Thanks everyone, and enjoy Valentine's Day with your Sweetheart!!

Beef Chili topped with cheese
Homemade Scones with Honey Butter

If you're looking for a reason to enjoy the seemingly endless Utah winter, complete with frigid temperatures and the occasional inversion, this meal is your answer. This hearty chili will warm your bones while warming your soul. The perfect compliment to this meaty, flavorful chili are homemade scones. You can use your scone to scoop up the last few bites of chili and wipe the bowl clean, or put a dollop of honey butter and let it melt down your fingers while enjoying your scone as dessert.

Parmesan Chicken Sandwich
Cole Slaw

This whimsical dish combines two of my most celebrated items. I've taken my deliciously moist Chicken Parmesan and turned it into a fun and easy-to-eat sandwich. Using the same process as my wildly popular Chicken Parmesan dish, everything is homemade and fresh. I start with chicken cutlets, tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. I lightly bread the cutlets, then saute and bake the chicken to ensure luscious, juicy meat with a crunchy exterior. I place a cutlet on a fresh bun, and top with my fresh marinara and cheese. Coupled with my beloved coleslaw, this warm sandwich and fresh, crisp salad make a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone in the family will love!

Shredded Pork Burritos

Toppings

This burrito is overflowing with succulent shredded roast pork. The pork is seasoned perfectly and cooks with a blend of chilies, peppers, onions, and carrots to provide moist and flavorful meat. Once wrapped in a tortilla, the burrito is smothered with a tomato sauce and melted cheese. Add your favorite toppings to finish off this tasty meal.

Tuesday, February 7

Mexican Egg Rolls with Creamy Avocado Ranch

Crisp and crunchy on the outside, these egg rolls are stuffed with corn, beans, chicken, cheese, and herbs and spices. The creamy avocado ranch dip provides the "cool" for the "heat" of the egg roll. These little beauties have so much flavor packed into every bite! Because the egg rolls have been so popular and everyone keeps asking for them, I am adding them to the winter menu. Each full order will get 12 egg rolls. Please let me if you would like regular ranch instead of the avocado.

Wednesday, February 8

Chicken Tortilla Chipotle Soup

Fried Tortilla Strips
Fresh Limes, Cheese, Sour Cream, Jalapenos and Cilantro

This soup is abounding in chicken and bursting with flavor. Starting with chicken stock as a base, tomatoes, corn, onion, and green chilies are added to help this hearty soup seem light and flavorful. Finally, a touch of chipotle breathes spice into the soul of this soup, but isn't enough to take your head off. This soup is coupled with fried tortilla strips that melt like butter when they enter the broth. Top it all off with fresh lime, cheese, jalapeno, and sour cream, for a tasty and beautiful meal.

Beef Bolognese & Creamy Polenta

Bolognese is one of the most famous dishes in Italy. It is a chunky sauce made of beef, pork, lots of vegetables, and tons of flavor. The touch of cream gives this sauce a rich, velvety feel that melts in your mouth. I serve my bolognese over a creamy polenta. My polenta is made from a few simple ingredients that create a light, fluffy texture. I find that bolognese and polenta, topped with fresh parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese, are a perfect pair.
