Hello, fellow food fanatics! Here is this week's menu, which includes two meals from the new cookbook I told you about in a previous blog.
The cookbook, entitled Parents Need to Eat Too, has some amazingly delicious recipes in it along with helpful tips for new parents. It also includes a widely acclaimed recipe for the 'best chocolate chip cookies ever.' That one, unfortunately, will have to wait seeing as I have given up cookies for Lent. What will also have to wait? The Girl Scout cookies I ordered from my niece. And the recipe for Oatmeal Raisin cookies my sister sent me, with the instructions that the only change I was to make was to DOUBLE the recipe. Must be good. Well, until April 8th, I suppose.
Also, I want to include a link to a delicious and simple recipe for Balsamic Vinaigrette I found on the Internet. It comes from a favorite food website called Epicurious. We made this to go with our Valentine feast that I told you about in a previous WY (Weekly Yumminess) post. I've included pictures of our traditional feast. The salad you'll see was simply warmed goat cheese (om nom nom) with chopped, cooked bacon on top of fresh spinach. All on the fancy china. Fanfrickintastic.
REALLY long day with the baby. Don't judge my tired eyes and the mentally-beaten-down-hunchover look :)
The traditional heart-shaped pizza. Tradition dates back eight lovely years now.
The delicious salad in all its glory. SOOOOO good! Would be great with tomaters, too.
Happy cooking and have a GREAT week, everyone!!
Monday: Venison Burgers
On a mission to find a burger recipe that will make the venison burger not so dry.

Tuesday: Sweet Potato Risotto
We are a sweet potato family now that Felicia eats solid food.
Wednesday: Crispy Quinoa Cakes w/Roasted Ratatouille
I'm on a mission to learn how to flavorfully dress up quinoa (without drowning it in unhealthy accompaniments). It's such a healthy food, and I bet it makes a good base for many ingredients.

Thursday: Angel-Hair Pasta w/Lemon-Parmesan Breadcrumbs
Friday: Spinach & Mushroom Quiche
Have some leftover hashbrowns from Mel's baby shower to use up.
Saturday: Wine-Roasted Tilapia
Sunday: Girls' Night Out!
Felicia and I may go out for a ladies' night since James is heading to Washington DC early in the morning. (He's going for work, but is most excited because he got in for a tour of the White House! Apparently, they are very stingy on tours lately.)
