What’s Cooking 03.22.2015

March 22, 2015 By: Runner Leana

Last week my husband was in charge of the meal planning and grocery shopping while I was out in Canmore for spring training camp.  It felt a little strange not knowing what the plan was for the week!  The top dish last week that was a complete knock out was this recipe from Top Chef Boston finalist Gregory Gourdet.IMG_5826

Neil and I are huge Top Chef nerds.  We don’t have cable so we watch a lot of old seasons of Top Chef that we buy off of iTunes.  Gregory is a great chef and an ultra runner so he has a good idea of what runners and athletes need to refuel.  This was a simple recipe to come together, plus it made for great leftovers for lunch the next day.Runner Leana Meal Planning

The plan for this week is:

Saturday: Chicken Piccata via Food Network, plus fusilli and zucchini on the side
Sunday: Stove Top Pork & Brown Rice One Pot Meal via Runner’s World Cookbook, but also available online here
Monday: Thai Beef Salad with Mint via Runner’s World Cookbook, but also available online here
Tuesday: Chorizo and White Bean Stew via Bon Appetit (made this a week ago and was delicious)
Wednesday: Thai Curried Butternut Squash Soup via How Sweet It Is with sautéed kale on the side
Thursday: Pasta with rotisserie chicken, pesto and cherry tomatoes (we need something super quick and easy tonight)

As usual I’m linking up with Jill Conyers and Laura from Mommy Run Fast along with Laura from I’m an Organizing Junkie to share my meal plan for the week.

My question for you…Top Chef?  Fan or not?  If you are a fan, who has been your favourite chef?  I am a huge Richard Blais fan (he’s so talented) but Fabio Vivani was a huge charmer.  Love them both!

    I never used to watch cooking shows (in college I had no TV!) but friends at my university in England made the Great British Bake-Off a weekly watch event in my last year. Since then, I’ve gotten hooked!
