Review from last week:
Last week was quite delicious, and fairly healthy, I must say!
The cedar plank salmon was amazing - so glad we finally picked up the planks to make this. I paired it with roasting carrots and some baby potatoes I found in my fridge that needed to be cooked up quickly. Rosemary on potatoes and carrots so great, BTW. I'm officially CONVINCED I MUST make an herb garden soon. Need to research that....
Camarones a la Mexicana. Oh my. So good and spicy and perfect.
Saturday was cold and rainy and the perfect day to make our favorite tomato basil soup. I also made a batch of the summer chopped vegetable salad that will be a new obsession of mine this season. Yum. If you invite me to a BBQ, please expect me to arrive with this.
Father's Day dinner grilled by Greg! Side note - ever since Ben stopped drinking milk every morning and evening (he really only drinks it at night now), his appetite and willingness to try new foods has increased! I love it. (Don't get me wrong, he is still picky, but things are improving I think).
This baked pasta with sausage and spinach was a big hit with all of us. Greg was a little hesitant at the spinach (he must have forgotten that he likes vegetables now), but the flavor was great and this was dinner 3 nights in a row. I'm glad I decided to make the full recipe :)
Since I had run out of chicken, I picked up a roasted chicken from the store to go with our mashed sweet potatoes and snap pea salad. Is anyone else as confused as I am when it comes to sweet potatoes vs. yams?
Plan for next week:
Friday: Taco Bell. I'm not kidding when I say that I've been thinking about trying a Quesarito all week. Friday will be the night.
Saturday: I'll be out of town for Lisa's bachelorette weekend on Saturday evening. We are staying at Alderbrook Resort and making our dinner as a group in one of the cottages we are renting. Perfect, right? I've been asked to be in charge of our dinner, so we will be having Blood Orange Salmon and I think the squash/mint/feta salad that I've made recently. Greg and Ben will be attending a friends surprise (pizza) birthday party that evening.
Sunday: I'm planning on heading to Costco on Sunday when I get home, so I'm thinking we will just pick up something to throw on the grill. Dinner TBD.
Monday: Crockpot tomato soup and grilled cheese. We forgot how good this was - must have it again!
Tuesday: Blue Apron Meal: Lemon & Pea Tendril Risotto with Saffron & Microgreens
Wednesday: Blue Apron Meal: Pan-Seared Salmon over Whole Wheat Israeli Couscous with Fava Bean Olive Relish.
Thursday: Something easy like Costco ravioli or tuna helper :)
Friday: Blue Apron Meal: Spring Vegetable Ramen with Garlic Scapes, Shiitake Mushrooms and Boiled Egg.
