Feb 15 - 21

Well...we finally got around to having the Chicken and Cherries recipe - it was delicious! I used cranberries instead of cherries, but still yummy. It could stand to be "saucier" so I'll have to remember that for next time.

I pulled out my trusty recipe binder for this week and made a menu in record time! It also helps that we have a couple of group dinners this week along with a date night for my Valentine and me :)

Orange Beef with Cilantro Rice

Swedish Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes and Veggies

Shahi Korma Chicken with Rice

Mexican Lasagna

Pizza

Chili and Cornbread

April 27 - May 3

The Chicken Tikka Masala recipe from last week was just what we were looking for! I didn't notice the large amount of salt when I picked it, though. Luckily I caught it while cooking and adjusted it to 1 tsp in the maranade and 1/2 tsp in the sauce (down from 4 and 3 tsps!). It was still on the salty side so I'll probably cut it to 1/2 tsp in each next time. Oh and the 2 tsps of cayenne pepper makes it very spicy so beware if you can't handle much heat and adjust accordingly. Otherwise, the flavors were great and a close second to our favorite Indian restaurant :)
