Every Sunday (or in this case, Monday) I post my menu for the week. I love looking back at what I've made. It helps me see the ruts that I have been in and it shows me the adventures that I've taken in the kitchen. Adventures are very daring for me. Sometimes they work out and I hit a home run and the ball is out of the park and I do a little dance in my head that I successfully tried something new. However, sometimes it's just the opposite and I fail big time and we're eating hummus with bread and slices of cheese because things didn't work out. I used to feel bad about that, but John has gotten pretty good at scooping up my ego and handing it back to me with these gentle words: "Meg, I LOVE that you try new things! I love that you keep trying to find new recipes and cook different things for our family. Thank you. Don't stop." Ego restored. Hummus and bread play a great backup for those nights.
This week, I'm feeling adventures as well. I'm serving an all kale salad and I hope it goes over as well as the first time I tried it at cooking club. I'm also trying a new tomato soup that has curry and coriander and coconut milk. Everyone cross your fingers.
Cajun chicken and bell pepper pasta
Kale salad and bread
Mashed potatoes, okra, pintos

*I got this recipe and amazing picture from 101 Cookbooks site. I love this site!!! She makes me want to be more adventurous in the kitchen and behind my camera. Drool and swoon.
