How has Monday snuck up again already? We have a busy week this week so I'm aiming for recipes that are packed full of flavor that will keep my motivation for cooking high. And judging by the look of some of these recipes, I'm looking forward to cooking every day this week.
I used to think good Chinese food at our house could only be purchased. Now that I've tried a few of these recipes, I've found it's a lot easier than I thought to make yummy chicken recipes that rival our favorite take-out places.
Tuesday: Bruschetta with Garlic Mozzarella Toast from This Heart of Mine
My favorite bruschetta focuses on tomatoes as the main star with cheese and fresh herbs as secondary players. I love that this recipe melts the cheese into your base layer, leaving the finished texture fresh and delicious.
Wednesday: Chicken and Andouille Jambalaya from chow.com
Matt and I both love spicy food and a good jambalaya for us means chicken and sausage with lots of spice. This recipe is time consuming but worth it for leftovers that last us several days.
Thursday: Carrot Caraway Soup
Rain, rain....
Friday: Taco Salad from Damn Delicious
As someone who's pretty picky about salads, taco salad is one combination that is always a winner. I love the different textures incorporated while still maintaining a similar flavor theme.
And for dessert...
Not only am I obsessed with this pie, but I love how perfectly this picture conveys how consumingly addicting it is. So good, you won't be able to resist before getting a complete photo. Chocolate cookies crust with a creamy peanut butter filling?! How could you not try it this week?
That pie! Looks easy enough.
