Grocery Bag

We are back in the saddle this week being rather scattered the past 7 days.  I still have our Lasagna in the freezer from last week! This week calls for some of our favorites....and one new attempt.

Day One:

Larb and Homemade Pitas

I bet you have never had Thai Larb before....but hallelujah, you are going to love it!  

Sometimes we eat it in lettuce wraps.

Day Two

Butter Chicken and basmati rice

Another favorite in our house...might try it with tofu this time

Day Three

Marinated Round Steak with Smashed Potatoes

We still love our grassfed cow ;) and our farmers market potatoes!

Remember to start the marinate 36-48 hours ahead...it's worth it.

Day Four

Veggie Burgers

A new attempt with black beans....

Day Five

Spinach, Onion & Bacon Pizza with 

Homemade Sourdough Pizza Crust

Another favorite! 
Don't pass this up just because you don't have a sourdough starter 
(just use the regular dough recipe above). But if you have a starter it is worth it!

Blessings on your kitchen!  And remember to keep a balanced perspective:
