Week of April 7, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas


We hope you enjoy the meal ideas for this week…of course I have to highlight my favorites!  The Spicy Tuna Roll Burger is so delicious!  Not Chicken of the Sea tuna — this is fresh tuna in a burger!  The spicy sauce that goes with it is a MUST and the best part is you can adjust the “heat” to your liking!  The Sausage Apple and Onion Chicken Skillet and Steak Tacos with Pineapple Salsa are both fantastic – trust me, you will want to double the pineapple salsa!  Surprise your family or guests – the Veggie Skillet Lasagna and the Brussels Sprouts and Leeks Gratin both taste fancy (you just might think you are at a restaurant!), but they are really easy to make!  I even was asked “are you sure the Brussels Sprouts and Leeks Gratin is healthy, because it doesn’t taste healthy?”  I will take that as a compliment!  One of our Get REAL Wichita members requested a recipe for homemade flatbread so we have included the Veg Out Flatbread Pizza – and this flatbread is super simple to make – no yeast required!  And it can also be made gluten-free!

Next week, we will be sharing some Easter-inspired ideas!
