What We Ate ~ Week 30 ~ 2012

Don't know what happened that I didn't take a photo of Sunday nights meatball dinner ?!

It was a new recipe and pretty yummy ! I'll have to cook it again and get a photo ...
You can find the recipe on my "Pin's I've Tried" Pinterest pin board though.

Southwest Chicken Soup

So yum.

Korean Beef (recipe on my "Pins I've Tried" Pinterest pin board)

Crispy Kale, Sauteed Mushrooms, and Steamed Broccoli

This recipe came out of a Donna Hay magazine. Roast Chicken with a Almond and Kale Pesto on top. The sides were made up. I did the carrots in the oven, with garlic and onion slivers and a bit of the chicken drippings drizzled on top to bake. Then I did a bit of a 'hash' of asparagus, mushrooms, roasted red bell pepper ... can't remember exactly what I did ... just sauteed, I think. And Corn on the Cob.

Buffalo Boneless Chicken with carrot sticks and ranch.

By request from my boy ... Bacon and Egg Muffins.

Homemade Sushi !

What We Ate ~ Week 29 ~ 2012

I didn't plan a menu this last week.

I was able to cook out of the pantry for the most part ...

We had hot dogs on Sunday night.

I thought I took a photo but I can't find it on my phone so maybe not ...

What We Ate - Week 28 - 2012

Going through my photos this morning, I realize I didn't do a very good job of taking them this past week ! I know Monday and Tuesday I forgot because we had people over for dinner and I often forget then ! And Thursday night we ate late ... I must have just been too tired and hungry to remember the photo !

Homemade Mac and Cheese

Monday we had Thai Chicken Soup with friends. And Tuesday was a potluck. I made dessert.

Toasted Sandwiches and SJG potato salad

Thursday we had Asian Chicken Salad.

We ordered Indian.

Pasta ... the sauce on top is the one our friend

Craig taught us to make to go with Jaylen's gnocchi.

YUM !

Rory ranked this meal top 5 of anything I've ever cooked.

We all loved this ....

Spiral pasta with spaghetti bolognaise sauce I had previously cooked and frozen.

Rory made us omelettes. Yum.

If there's ever a night I'm going to break down and get take away, it's Thursday. It's our craziest day.

This week ... the boys were out late and their dinner was provided. Alia and I grabbed subway.

Calzones.

Going to post this recipe this week.

Rory made stir fry. I have no idea how. It was delicious.

Quinoa Patties

Guac Salad

We didn't actually have this sandwich for dinner. We were supposed to but the night was busy and it all got too hard. I ended up eating a quesadilla with the kids. But, I made these on the weekend and since I didn't get a picture of the quesadillas, I decided to use this one instead ...

Pizza with friends. This isn't pizza. It's a loaf of bread stuffed with funky lime/thai chicken soup garlic, portobello mushrooms, pesto white sauce, Parmesan and provolone cheese.

Tagine. One chicken, one lamb.

What We Ate ~ Week 25 ~ 2012

So, we are more than halfway through the year, and I've done one of these posts every week ... well, minus two weeks when my sister was here visiting.

I was thinking about not doing them anymore. Just yesterday, I was weighing it up. And then this morning I get a facebook message from a friend I haven't seen in years. Just out of the blue. She told me she has been following the blog and mentioned that she enjoyed seeing these posts of what we eat each week.

I decided then that I'll keep them going. At least for til the end of the year ... and then, we shall see ...

Here's what we ate this week .......

What We Ate ~ Week 23 ~ 2012

Um, yeah, we had sushi THREE times this week. Mainly because I love it and I had leftover stuff from the first night and so just kept making more rice til everything was gone. I seriously could eat sushi EVERY SINGLE DAY.
