i’m thinking of taking it easy this week re: our meals. i fell like there is a lot going on and lots that i need to do. um, hello – i still need to edit july photos and it’s almost the end of august? oops.
monday : leftovers. there are a few things remaining from the weekend that i want out of my fridge and this is the best way to do it!
tuesday : apricot basil chicken salad. this sounds so good to me right now as i’m writing our menu for the week. and really, it couldn’t be easier. if i put it together during naptime, life will be good come dinner as then it’s just assembly!
wednesday : asian barbecued turkey lettuce wraps. didn’t get these made so they’re going on this week’s menu. can’t wait!
thursday : hawaiian ribs. we didn’t get to have these last week as the grocery store didn’t have enough for teh recipe. i know. crazy. so we’re going to give it another go this week.
friday : pizza.
new recipe review from last week | sundried tomato + caper pasta
i had actually made this a couple of days before and then put it in the freezer. when dinner came around i just needed to thaw it. because of the tomatoes, i found the sauce a bit runny so i put it on to simmer for a while. all in all, a good dish and a great way to use some tomatoes. andy thinks it would be great with sausage in it. of course.
recent addition to my recipejournal | chocolate chocolate chip zucchini cupcakes
have some zucchini to use? here’s your chance to make it into dessert! this was originally a recipe for a 9×13 cake but somehow i doubt it’s a good idea to make a large cake for two adults. although i will admit i’ve done it before. much more family friendly in cupcake form. i kept a dozen for us and took the other dozen to another family that just welcomed a new baby.
recent addition to my recipejournal | faux cherry cheesecake
probably one of the desserts i make most often. comfort food at it’s finest, my friends. if my grocery store hadn’t been out of oreo crusts last week, i likely would’ve made another.
recent addition to my recipejournal | hearty blueberry muffins
love that these are healthier than the ones i normally make. we love muffins in general as i leave a few out for us when they’re fresh and freeze the rest for other days. muffins are the perfect toddler breakfast food. and good for a mama on the go as well! the oat topping is super yummy!
