*NEW* What's for Dinner? Family of 6 Meal Plan | Winter 2021

Welcome to a brand new episode of What's for Dinner? In today's video I'm compiling the best recipes from our meal plan for the past few weeks. There is something here for everyone and in general, all of these meals were enjoyed by the adults and kids. I hope these meals give you some dinner inspiration for your family. 
 

Pineapple-Crusted Steelhead Trout with Coconut Rice and Green Beans

This is a delicious way to enjoy fish. Salmon works well if you do not have Steelhead trout. For the coconut rice, replace the water in the the rice cooker with coconut milk and cook as usual. Sauté green beans in oil with 1 Tbs soy sauce and 1 tsp crushed garlic. 

Pineapple-Crusted Steelhead Trout

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 40 Min

Ingredients

• 1 16oz can crushed pineapple
• 3 Tbs hoisin sauce

• 2 Tbs crushed garlic
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 lb Steelhead Trout filet (or salmon)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the crushed pineapple, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar until combined. If you are using chunk pineapple, combine those ingredients in a blender. 
2. Prepare your fish by laying it on a greased baking dish. Spread the crushed garlic on the fish and season with salt and pepper. Pour the pineapple mixture on top. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked in the center.

Ground Beef Tacos

These are pretty self-explanatory but I thought I'd include my kids' favorite meal: ground beef tacos. I cook 1 lb ground beef on the stove and drain the fat. Then I add 1/4 cup taco seasoning and 3/4 cup of water and cook for 5 minutes. I like to fry the corn tortillas in oil. I serve various toppings including chopped cilantro, green onions, grated cheese, chopped olives, red onion, and avocado. I finish them off with a squeeze of lime juice. Perfection! 

Steak with herbed butter, mashed red potatoes, and green beans

I am not the best at making steak. I always overcook it! But this herbed butter makes the steak very juicy. I serve this with red potatoes mashed with butter, cream, salt, and pepper and serve with green beans. 

Steak with Herbed Butter

Ingredients

• 2 -4 Sirloin Steak filets
• 1 Tbs chopped parsley
• 1 tsp chopped thyme
• 2 Tbs green onion, chopped
• 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup)
• 1 tsp chopped garlic
• 1 tsp horseradish
• 1 Tbs dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Cook the steak according to your preference. We sear ours in a skillet for two minutes on each side or until a nice sear forms. We transfer the steak to the oven and finish off under the broiler for 5 minutes, flipping once for medium rare. 
2. While the steaks are cooking, melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, horseradish, mustard, herbs, and onions.  Cook for 2 minutes, or until well-combined. 
3. Serve the steak with the melted herbed butter on top. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables of your choice.

Fried Ravioli with Garden Salad

 I have shared my fried ravioli recipe on the blog before. It's very simple. Beat two eggs in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine one cup of dried bread crumbs with salt, pepper, 1 tsp italian herbs, and 1 Tbs grated parmesan cheese. Dip the ravioli in the egg mixture, coat in bread crumb mixture and fry in oil 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You could also use an air fryer for these. Serve with a side of marinara sauce and a garden salad. 

Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs 

I originally saw this recipe on Delish but have modified it in the recipe card below. It is easy and a nice refreshing idea for lunch. I served this with grilled asparagus and glazed carrots. For the glazed carrots: boil the chopped carrots until they are cooked through (not mushy). Drain the water.  Cook the carrots on the stove with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. Serve hot. 

Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs

Ingredients

• 1 large (or 2 small) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked
• 3 Tbs buffalo sauce
• 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• 1 Tbs Ranch dressing
• 1 tube of refrigerated biscuits
• melted butter for topping
• chopped parsley for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. In a mixing bowl, blend the cooked, shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce (if you don't have this you can use hot sauce), cream cheese, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing. 
3. Open the tube of biscuits and roll the biscuits out until they are around 4 inches wide. Scoop the chicken filling on top of the biscuits and then roll the dough around the mixture to create a ball and place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. 
4. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
