try a new recipe once a week

I’ve decided to mark this as complete since I automatically tend to do this right now. I like variety in my meals so I do it naturally without thinking.

With the stress of end of term assignments and exams, cooking has been a huge stress reliever.
Recently I’ve made:

- Palak Paneer with home-made naan (Yum!)
- fried leeks
- asparagus with butter-pecan sauce (well.. I helped with this one)
- a new carrot cake
- vegetable pie (for Pi day—this turned out so good!)
- fried rice and veggies
- bread (I’ve never made my own before)

Bad girl. I didn’t make anything yummie last week. But here it is a brand new week (what do you know?) and i shall pull out a new recipe and begin again.

I am really enjoying this goal. :)

So i made the Chicken with onions, olives and capers….it was good, but felt like it was missing something. Oh well..on to the next recipe for next week…lets see, what shall I make next? :) This is fun.

I have a new book I am trying recipes from..It’s something like the Cleanse cook book. Plenty of smoothie and soup recipes…I think I may try something this week.

i love chicken….
Tonight if all goes well (otherwise tomorrow) i’m going to make Chicken with onions, olives & capers. Mmmm…I love me some capers too! :)

So i made Moroccan Chicken Stew last night with couscous. I must say…it turned out so good! Although i did change the ingrediants a little. It called for boneless skinless chicken thighs, i used breasts. It also called for raisins, which i left out because i don’t care for fruit or sweet things in with regular food. :(
But it turned out fabulous….my boyfriend came over for dinner and also enjoyed it. So on to the next recipe….Hmmmm…what shall i make? I have a few ideas….TBA

I like trying new things and I enjoy cooking…i just don’t do it enough. So this weekend to start things off i’m thinking of making Morrocan Chicken Stew.
Yummie.

I am trying my best to experiemnt, but the baby having a cold is limiting my trips to the farmer’s market, etc. Hopefully next week things will be better.

OHHHHHHHH! I almost forgot! Anyone in the Temecula area has to visit The Temecula Valley Cheese Company in Old Town Temecula!!I am in love with their Stilton w/Cranberries!!! The Tete De Moine is delicious! It can be pricey, but they offer a $10 bag of mixed cheeses that we enjoyed. We went looking for Montgomery Cheddar which we had tried in Edinburgh. We found it and have since had it on everything!!!
