Since I hardly ever like to do the same meal twice, we are constantly trying new things around here. Here are some things that we have tried lately.
Inspired by this recipe, I discovered that adding ricotta cheese to spaghetti sauce makes it super delicious with hardly any extra effort. Adding sauteed onions, peppers, and chicken makes it even MORE delicious. This is a great way to jazz up an old standby. Also, by adding TONS of veggies to spaghetti sauce, I am allowed to eat spaghetti more, right?
I made this recipe from pinterest, which actually has no link. So obviously I had to alter the recipe. Because heaven forbid I actually follow one. I used one large can of chunk pineapple in natural juices, 1/3 cup light soy sauce, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. I think I would add something spicy next time because when I ate it the second time for leftovers I added Sriracha and that was super good. I also might add onion, and possibly another vegetable but I can't decide what. I served this over rice with broccoli.
After Christmas, Grandpa Jerry made cucumber salad. I saw this recipe shortly after and cucumbers were on sale last week, so I obviously had to try it. So good. I added red onion and ate 2 whole cucumbers in 2 days (with a small amount of help from Josh). Grandpa Jer also put sliced bell peppers, which was also very good. I will be doing this again during farmer's market season!
I am planning a date night in tonight. If I remember, I will try to take some pictures and report back!
p.s. had a "coffee" date this morning and had SO MUCH FUN! I am super excited to spend some more time with these gals next weekend. Woohoo for no school fun time!
