Cooking Therapy

We've been relying far too much on take out, so I decided to make my way through the many recipes I've saved. Planning is the key to healthier and more interesting meals.

A couple of our dinner choices this week have already been featured here but most are new, simple recipes I hope to add to my repertoire.

Sunday dinner

• Tyler Florence's Ultimate Paella

Monday dinner

• Mediterranean Chicken on basmati rice
  Note: I added shreds of fresh basil and oil-cured anchovies on top and baked it for 40 minutes covered with foil, then 10 minutes uncovered. 
• White bean salad (for tomorrow's lunch): cannellini, celery, red onions, roasted garlic, pepperoncini, parsley, olive oil, splash of balsamic vinegar, splash of rice vinegar

Tuesday dinner

• Chocolate chipotle black bean chili
• Stacked tomato salad (for tomorrow's lunch)

Wednesday dinner

• Baked chicken wings
• Veggie Nicoise Salad (leftovers for tomorrow's lunch will include albacore, thank you Cheryl and Mike)

Thursday

• Leftovers
• English muffin bread

Friday

• Zucchini artichoke heart frittata
• Roasted red pepper fougasse
