Sample MenusTraveling Pan has literally thousands of personally tested and tasted recipes in its repertoire. Here is just a sampling of client-favorites. Most menu items can be adjusted to meet dietary restrictions.

 

Family Favorites 

The old saying “kid-tested, mother-approved” comfort food 

Chicken Pot Pie – Country style chicken potpie made with big chunks of chicken breast, corn and carrots in a creamy chicken sauce, topped with flaky puff pastry. Served with choice of side salad.

Stuffed Shells – al dente pasta shells with creamy three-cheese spinach filling smothered in roasted tomato sauce. Served with Parmesan bread sticks and cool cucumber salad.  (Spinach can be eliminated from cheese filling) 

Beef Stroganoff – choice, tender pieces of grain-fed beef in a sherry mushroom sauce finished with sour cream, served over egg noodles.  Recommend jicama, peapod and strawberry side salad with honey-lime vinaigrette. 

BBQ Turkey Meatloaf – Organic breast of turkey and dark meat freshly ground to make the most moist, succulent turkey meatloaf, with grated carrot and homemade honey barbeque glaze.  Served with mashed potato. 

Ask about “hidden nutrition” techniques in family foods – like adding pureed sweet potato to the meatloaf or cauliflower to the mashed potatoes.  We have all kinds of ideas for increasing the nutritional value of any entrée – your kids won’t suspect a thing!

 

Restaurant in Your Home 

Kissin’ Chicken – organic chicken slow cooked with whole garlic to succulent fall-off-the-bone status and served in a Cognac and white wine cream sauce.   Served over couscous with pine nuts and roasted carrots. 

Salmon Al Cartoccio – fresh wild salmon sealed in parchment and oven-steamed in the flavorful mouth-watering combination of tomato, lemon, shallot, fresh oregano, and fresh thyme.  Served with Parmesan Polenta. 

Roasted Pork Loin with Fig Sauce – rich velvety fig sauce served over tender rosemary and pecan encrusted loin of pork medallions.  Served with rice pilaf.  

Roasted Corn Enchiladas - corn tortillas with cheesy spinach, red pepper and corn filling, topped with made-from-scratch green tomatillo enchilada sauce.  Very mild - spicy only if you request it.  Served with Mexican beans or black beans. 

Soup & Salad Combo – Thyme & Lemon Chicken soup coupled with Mediterranean pasta salad made with cucumber, tomato, olives, chopped spinach and feta cheese.
