Meal Ideas

A good friend asked me what we eat our house and I thought I would share a list of our favorite meals. Of course I'm always trying new recipes, but these are meals that we eat monthly. If you are interested in recipes, just drop me a note and tell me which recipe you need.  I have divided them into divisions of the method of cooking- which is how I plan when I am in a hurry.

We typically eat a soup with sandwiches, or a main dish with salad. We try to include a salad or boiled vegetable every meal, but usually go more for salads. Our dessert list is too numerous to list- as that is my speciality around here.

Soups:

• salmon soup
• chili
• frikadele soup ( A Latvian soup with small meatballs)
• beef soup

Oven Baked:

• Honey glazed chicken
• Lasagna
• Chicken baked with potatoes
• Fish and oven baked potatoes (these potatoes are our healthy version of fries)
• Pot roast with potatoes, carrots, and onions
• Pizza
• Quiche

Stove Top: (Include a side of buckwheat, potatoes, noodles or rice).

• Tacos
• Sushi (boil rice)
• Spaghetti and meatballs
• Ginger chicken (Chinese style) with rice. 
• Latvian pancakes (crepes) with fillings: cheese, ham and cheese, meat, etc.
