Well my Real Simple Magazine delivered (no pun intended) and then some! All of the meals I prepared were fantastic! Keenan's favorite was the Spiced Chicken with Couscous Salad and mine was the Grilled Buttermilk Chicken, Potato Salad and Green Bean Salad. The Marinated Chickpea Salad from Tapas Night was also a favorite while the accompaniments did not go over so well. The Soy Glazed Fish with Squash and Zuccini was a wonderful, light summer dish and came together quickly. I need to keep this one in my "wheel-house" for crazy nights!
This week we have Keenan's parents coming in for a visit so more easy to please and feed a crowd meals are planned along with some stand-bys to get us through the week.

April 19 - 25
Let's see...reviews. The Baked Lemon Pasta was nice and light especially for a spring meal. It was just missing a little something. I used fortified pasta to make up for the fact that it was a meatless meal, but it needs some more herbs or something. When I figure it out I'll let you know. For now I'm pairing the leftovers with smoked sausage hoping to balance things out.
The Jerk Chicken was a big hit. I changed it up a bit by using boneless, skinless chicken thighs and having Keenan grill them along with the fresh pineapple. I think that really helped bring the dish to the next level. Yum!
Keenan's going to be busy most evenings this week and all weekend helping with our church's high school retreat. I've planned a lot of easy, kid-friendly meals in preparation. I usually have the luxury of Keenan being home to help with the kids when I need to cook dinner so this will be a challenging week (not to mention going solo on bedtimes as well). We know it's well worth it, though.
