I Must Like This Salad....

I really do actually like the watermelon salad, and it's in season, and is tasty, and doesn't heat up the house. So what did we eat this week....
Fattoush - Jewish (p.86) - It's a veggie middle eastern salad, yummy with pita bread!
Pita Bread - My Own - Yum!
Vegetable Risotto - PB&J (p. 79) - It's made with brown rice so not quite as creamy as real risotto. I also doubled the seasonings, turned out well, though it's better the day of than as leftovers.
Mung Dal Na Poora - East (p. 263) - One of DH's favorites, and it's easy to make. Basically a slightly spicy bean pancake. I swear it's good!
Bibingka - East (p. 259) - It's cake made with rice flour. Pretty good despite my getting lazy with the folding half way through and letting the mixer finish it. It think that's how it ended up with 2 layers instead of one. So the heavier denser cake was at the bottom and it had a lighter, almost like angle cake or sponge cake as a top layer from them separating. Still tasty though! I think I like it with butter and jam over the suggested butter and coconut topping.
Bean, Rice, and Cheese Burritos - My own, It's easy and tasty. Plus I made a TON of tortillas so I'm thinking we will be having more.
Salad with Watermelon and Feta Cheese - Jewish (p.348) - Made it again, because it's tasty and we need to use up the watermelon we keep buying. Since we bought yet another at the farmers market I see it in being made again.

Not Much This Week

I didn't really make a lot this week. I made some just add water and salsa dry tortilla soup. I added chickpeas instead of the suggested chicken. Not bad. Another night I went out so DH ordered a broccoli garlic pizza.

So what did I make.....

Asian Miracle Salad - Vegan Lunch Box (p. 92) We've had this before, love it!
Lentil Soup - My Own Basic and good
Broccoli w/ Sesame Seeds - PB&J (p. 52) Had some left over Broccoli I needed to use up. It's broccoli with garlic and sesame seeds, yum.
Peanutty Peas & Noodles - PB&J (p. 70) Another we've had before. I added some frozen mixed stir fry veggies in with the sauce and peas. Obviously we like this one too.

What We Ate Before Going Back Home

I really should try to get better at doing this in a timely manner......
Anyway....

Spinach and Artichoke Dip - Good Eats Seriously, it's spinach artichoke dip, we love this stuff! I tend to add a bit more seasonings, and used seasoned marinaded artichokes. YUM!
Avolemono - Jewish (p. 117) More of an eh. It's lemony and eggy soup. Kind of odd, not terrible, but don't see making this again.
Beetroot & Potato Salad - Jewish (p. 347) It reminded me of my favorite Ethiopian beet and potato salad. I loved it! DH wouldn't eat it, but he hates cold potatoes.
Bean, Cheese & Rice Burritos - My Own Yummy!
Greek Spaghetti - Better Than PB&J (p. 72) I've made this once before. It's quick, easy and yummy! I double the amount of veggies in it though and add a bit more cheese.
Red Currant Mini Cakes - Here YUM! A great way to use the small amount of currants that I got from my tiny little bushes.
Wild Strawberry Mini Cakes Same thing but topped with wild strawberries picked from the yard.
Strawberry Jam Yummy! Just followed the recipe in the pectin box.
Strawberry Rhubarb Jam Again yum! And went basically off of the box.
