Another crazy week–I thought January was supposed to be the slow month after the holidays but it just flew by and now here we are in Feburary already! Here’s what’s on the menu this week:
Monday: Four Cheese Stuffed Shells with Marinara Sauce (a family favorite–it is freezer friendly too! Part of my Meal Magic New Year’s Resolution plan)
Tuesday: Crunchy Ranch Tortilla Chicken fingers (mine is actually from a Southern Living recipe but this one comes close), garden salad, pasta side
Wednesday: California Burgers (have some patties in the freezer to use up), carrot sticks
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: special activity–no cooking for me!
Sunday: Monte Cristo Sandwiches (part of my New Year’s Resolution for Triple-S Sundays), carrot sticks or sliced apples
What’s on your menu this week? Happy cooking!
I love the idea of the cheese stuffed pasta however my husband cannot eat the soft cheeses usually in these Italian dishes. Any suggestions on substitutions for the cheeses? Thanks for the help.

Hi Susan,
Hmm…is it a texture thing or a lactose thing? You might try using some silken tofu instead of the ricotta and cottage chesse to give the same texture without all that extra cheese. Then the mozzarella and parmesan can still be added in to give it some flavor. Let me know if you try it and how it comes out–good luck!
