We really had some great choices this week. Our meals were all so good! My husband got a new-to-us used car from Carvana last weekend, so we were busy getting that squared away and trying it out. I hope you find some great new recipes to try from our menu for the week!
TOP FAVORITE BREAKFAST:
Italian Garden Frittata. This was a really tasty egg dish, and we both felt the flavors were even better in the leftovers as each day passed. I served this with a Peach Smoothie recipe we’ve had before and some fresh blueberries for a total of 324 calories.

TOP FAVORITE LUNCH:
Lime Jalapeno Turkey Wrap. Wow! This was a total winner. You might be thinking that a wrap is a wrap…they’re all pretty similar. But this was loaded with flavors. We did note that the recipe was void of any kind of condiment, so I added a drizzle of light ranch dressing to each wrap, and it was the perfect cooling complement to the heat of the jalapeno. This was SO good! Instead of shredded turkey, I bought a slab of cooked oven-roasted turkey breast from Aldi and cut it into cubes. It was perfect. We will definitely be having this again and again! I served it with some white corn tortilla chips and salsa for dipping and 1/2 cup of baby carrots for a total of 409 calories. Yum!

TOP FAVORITE DINNER:
Southwest Pasta Bake. My husband really enjoyed this dish for its unique combination of flavors. It’s like a cross between Italian and Mexican. It’s very tasty in an unexpected way and is actually very good! I served it with steamed broccoli for a total of 328 calories. My husband enjoyed it so much that he actually took some of the leftovers for lunch one day!

The top favorite dinner was a difficult choice, so I have to give honorable mention to these delicious Two-Cheese Turkey Enchiladas. My husband and I really enjoyed the creamy filling. They were easy to make, and the leftovers lasted us several days. I actually had enough filling to make more servings than were listed, so this is a great dish for feeding a crowd. I served it with some shredded lettuce, tomato, and light sour cream on top and a salad with light dressing on the side for a total of 329 calories.

TOP FAVORITE DESSERT:
Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies. I only made one dessert this week. I had intended to make more, but I was super busy and never got around to it. But I’m happy to share this delicious recipe with you. These soft little dome-shaped cookies are almost cake-like, and the chocolate chips are quite plentiful. They were a hit with my family. I used a 1.5 Tbsp. cookie scoop leveled off to measure out my dough, and it made a few extras over and above the suggested serving count. I think they came out to about 50 calories a piece, so we could indulge in a few of these without a lot of guilt. It’s also a great way to use up over-ripe bananas instead of throwing them out! The recipe came together in a flash.

That’s it for now! I will have fewer recipes to choose from next week since I’ll be doing a traditional Thanksgiving-type menu for Christmas, complete with all the leftovers for the weekend. I hope you all enjoy your holiday, even if it’s without your extended family.
Happy cooking, and stay safe!
