$700/week??? That's outrageous! Not saying she's not worth it but around here someone in HS makes half that, at best!!!
 
Saturday: Chicken ballotine sort of thing; chicken breasts stuffed with sauteed mushrooms, brie cheese, and rosemary, rolled up and wrapped in bacon.

Monday (Today): I stopped after work to forage for wild ramps to use with dinner, then prepared smoked stuffed chicken breasts with duck veloute and mashed potatoes. After triple butterflying, and pounding and seasoning the breasts, the stuffing was warmed cream cheese, wild ramp leaves, sun dried tomatoes, and browned crumbled bacon. Then I rolled them up, tied them off, and smoked them at 365*F until they hit 165*F inside.
