I haven't cooked in so long but now that the babies are eating table food that has to change! I like to cook but it is expensive and a lot of work! Last week I planned out all of my meals and made a detailed grocery list. I prepared a lot of things on Monday while Jennifer was watching the babies. If I can do that every week I might be able to keep this up! I just don't have time to cook in the evenings and take care of the babies! If I knew they would take a nap every afternoon that would be different!
Monday night B grilled steaks and I made herb oven fries, sauteed squash and zucchini with tomatoes and Parmesan and a grilled Caesar salad! The fries were a pinterest recipe and the squash is something my mom makes a lot that I just copied so I don't have a recipe for that.
This is the recipe for the salad!
I also made blueberry muffins for the babies! I've never made homemade blueberry muffins but these were really good and pretty easy to make!
I love spring or some people call them summer rolls but I've never made them. My mom use to make them a lot with salmon and spinach. I'm not a huge fan of salmon and I didn't have her recipe anyway so I kind of made up my own! My summer rolls had shrimp, cabbage, spinach, cilantro, carrot, and asian rice noodles. I also added a little hoison sauce for moisture! They were good!
This recipe kind of explains the process of making them.
I served them with a hoison glazed salmon salad. B gave it an A. Not an A+ but getting an A from him is a pretty big deal!
The babies were big fans of the salmon too!
I also made Pioneer Woman's lasagna. It is probably my favorite lasagna recipe I have found! I always use slices of mozzarella cheese instead of shredded! I think it makes a big difference!
I also made homemade chicken noodle soup. I don't have a recipe for this I just kind of make it up as I go! The babies liked this too!
Now if I could just keep this up! I'm not off to a great start this week!
