Weekly Meal Plan December 24, 20230 (0)
Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope you’re enjoying / have enjoyed a great Christmas with your loved ones. We here have sure eaten our fair share of yummy food and we can’t wait to share with you some of the delicious meals that’ve passed by our plates! The Weekly Meal Plan for December 24 is serving up some lighter dishes for the week. Chances are you’ve eaten your fair share of food too over the last week so we wanted to provide some delicious, refreshing, lighter dishes to chow down on over the coming week
Lots of Seafood on the menu this week
We kick off the Meal Plan for this week with one of our favorite go-to dishes. The delicious and super healthy Salmon Poke Bowl. Packed full of delicious flavors such as Ponzu and Soy, this dish is all about highlighting the amazing taste of good quality Salmon. A light cure in some acid brought to you by some tasty Lemons, and the Salmon is perfect for showing down with some tasty vegetables and of course, homemade Sushi rice!
While you’re at the Fishmonger or seafood aisle at your supermarket please stick around! We’ve got some amazing Peel and Eat Shrimp on the menu too this week, so pick up some good quality Shrimp while you’re there. We’ve gone with Jumbo Shrimp in our recipe so we’d suggest you try to get the biggest Shrimp you can get your hands on too! Any Shrimp will do for this recipe to be honest, however we like the bigger Shrimp because, well, the payoff is bigger in the end! Eat these beautiful Shrimp with some crusty Sourdough bread to mop up that unbelievably stunning sauce and enjoy!
Our Fun and Interesting Dish for this week is a delicious Chinese 5 Spice Duck. Beautifully crispy Duck Skin is a guarantee in this recipe, finished off with a ridiculously flavorful sauce care of the delicious Chinese 5 Spice glaze. You can eat this dish as is with some beautiful, steamed vegetables such as Bok Choy. Alternatively, this is a great dish to eat Peking Duck style with some steamed Bao Buns or Chinese Pancakes. Either way, it’s a fun and flavorful dish!
A Simple dish using Leftovers
Rounding out the meal plan for the week is a fun use for leftovers we know you’ll have around the house. We’re talking about Tomatoes. There is always a couple of Tomatoes leftover from a cook up, so why not use them to make our tasty Classic Bruschetta. It’s such a simple dish to make and tastes amazing. So, grab a few extra pieces of Sourdough loaf when shopping for the Peel and Eat Shrimp and use them to create this delicious Bruschetta dish
Happy Cooking!
