Since my recent discovery and obsession with Smitten Kitchen, I have felt much more inspired in the kitchen. If you are ever feeling the dark cloud of blasé cooking overcoming you, then Smitten Kitchen is the antidote. I made a mental goal since starting Menu Monday of trying one new recipe a week. This week I might have overdone it a little with three new recipes...but I have found a recipe that will definitely be added to the favorites list. We are so obsessed, you will see it again, next week!. So here you go. The weekly line up:
Monday: Vegetarian chili with sour cream and cheddar biscuits . These biscuits are to die for. I made them with whole wheat flour, and you would never know the difference!
Tuesday: Spinach, tomato, and cheddar cheese omelets
Wednesday: Blue cheese and red potato tart Honestly, this was more work than it was worth. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of blue cheese...The husband loved it!
Thursday: Out to eat!
Friday: Asparagus Pancetta Hash -vegetarianized and served with an egg on top. Simply amazing. There wasn't a single bite left in the skillet. Simple with only 3 ingredients. And just delicious!!
We had company in from out of town and midterms during the week, so there was less cooking than usual.
In other news, I have begun to coupon. I have thought about trying for a year or two, but I have been daunted by the lack of organic coupons. I have decided this time that sure, I might not be able to lower my weekly grocery bill to $10 and get $150 worth of food, but every dollar adds up. This week, I started by saving $5.
New recipes you've tried this week?
What about coupons? Do you?
I linked up at Menu Monday!
Looks like a great dish! I read the directions on smitten kitchen (thanks for the reference!) and am interested on how you vegetarianized it. What did you use to replace the pork? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI definitely coupon! Because I save money on other items, I can afford to buy more produce. So I still get my fill of healthy stuff!
ReplyDeleteI've made that hash, so so yummy! I love your blue wall with the fireplace!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful picture! Makes me want to try that dish!

I am definitely trying the hash! It looks delish! I have tried couponing and you are right - very few are out there for healthy food options. What works for me is to try shopping the B1G1 sales as much as I can. I can usually shave at least 30% off my grocery bill each week. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking about starting just this morning! Where do you get them? The paper?
ReplyDeleteI get some coupons for organic stuff through this site:

Those sour cream/ cheddar biscuits have been on my list of things to make from SK!! I'm glad you are as hooked on it as I am! Just went apple picking and now trying to decide what to make. Have you made anything delicious recently with apples besides the standard pie?
