Review time! I absolutely loved the mini taco cups. I'm sure most of it is due to my love of Mexican food and even more so my love of condiments, but still - they were great and fun! (I'll put the recipe in a seperate post.) See?

Next up, the Pinwheels with Roasted Veggie Sauce. Another hit! The flavor was amazing and it was almost like a cream sauce without actual cream. I'm going to have to save this recipe for when it cools off, though. Roasting veggies at 400 degrees for 40 minutes is not the best idea in 105+ weather!

And last, but certainly not least, the Zuccini and Ricotta Gallete. Oh. My. Goodness. The crust was so buttery and flaky and the ricotta/cheese filling was rich and creamy. I'm sure it's not the best for you so it's definitely a treat. Not to mention all the prep time that goes into it. So worth it though. I plan to try a tomato/basil version next time. Yum!

I have 10 meals planned for the next week and a half. We're off on another adventure and I'm hoping to only make one quick trip to the store for basics after today. Keenan's out of town 3 nights this week and I'm still battling morning sickness so most of these are quick and easy.

Before I forget, I'll start with reviews. The five-spice burgers were a huge hit all around. I couldn't believe the kids actually ate them up! Of course, they didn't eat the mushroom/cabbage topping, but still I was surprised. The Salsa Verde Steak Burritos were also a big hit and we now have plenty of left-overs. It'll be turned into enchiladas this week :) I didn't get around to the veggie pie as I realized my yogurt was expired when I went to make it - oops. I may try it another time, but for now I'm just going to use the veggies in other things this week (if they're still good!). I also haven't tried the lemon ice cream yet, but I'm hoping to tomorrow!

This menu should get us through the next week and a half with leftovers and probably a meal out sometime.
