Weekly Meal Plan 7/24/23 – 7/30/23

• This recipe is easily scaled down: Simply make as many tacos as desired and save the remaining pork and tacos for leftovers. If you have leftover shredded pork, it stores really well: place the shredded pork in an airtight container and pour some juices from the slow cooker over the meat. This pork freezes and reheats very well. To freeze, place the shredded pork in a resealable plastic freezer bag and label with the date when it was made.

Avocado Toast with Hard-Boiled Eggs and Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

• I use these balsamic roasted tomatoes for this recipe!

Antipasto Skewers Recipe

• If you can’t find marinated mozzarella balls, you can use Italian salad dressing to dress plain mozzarella balls.
• For salami, I like using Sopressa or Genoa
• You can use smaller wooden skewers if you’d like to yield more skewers

Tomato Rosemary Focaccia

Eggless Chocolate Chip Waffles with Strawberry Cream Cheese Sauce 

• When making the waffles, you can either use buttermilk or make your own!  To make your own, you simply combine milk and lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• The recipe calls for using frozen strawberries.  The water content in the frozen berries will help the sauce be more liquid.  If you want to use fresh strawberries, the sauce will just be thicker.
• The strawberry cream cheese sauce was originally inspired by one that Ben picked out of the Let’s Cook: Elmo Cookbook (a cute kids’ cookbook). It was a recipe for strawberry cream cheese stuffed French toast, but we didn’t have 1/2 the ingredients, so we made a sauce and waffles instead.
