It’s a new week and I’m feeling excited to cook. I’m actually stealing a few things off last week’s menu because we didn’t get to eat everything. I made lots of extras last week apparently so we spent some lunches/dinners eating leftovers instead of trying new recipes.
This looks like a pretty mellow week socially (which for December — WHAT A RELIEF!) so we will probably be laying low, working out, enjoying some good eats and resting up for next week, since that includes one of our favorite holiday parties of the year!

Are you trying any new recipes this week?
I was getting a little worried that there would be no menu today… but then I realized it’s only like 5:30 where you are. 😉
We’re doing three new dishes this week!
Health-Bent’s meatballs + fennel marinara

theclothesmakethegirl’s Turkish Chopped Salad (I don’t care that these veggies aren’t really in season… I’m getting the teensiest bit tired of the squash/root veg/brassica circuit and it’s barely December.)

…and in direct contradiction to my previous parenthetical statement, some braised Brussels. 😉

Also, Penzey’s. Can I live there? They have that fake-display kitchen… No? Well, okay. Just thought I’d ask. hee hee!
