After an uninspiring food week (except for some Greek Potatoes, and an improv Curried Quinoa with Roasted Summer Vegetables that was inspired by this recipe), I am happy to get back on track with cooking this weekend! I talked with my sister yesterday, and she recommended perusing Pinterest boards of my favorite food magazines and bloggers to look for ideas. I did just that and came up with a fun list of stuff to try for this week. A visit to our awesome Farmer's Market always helps me prime the creative food pump as well...
After the Farmer's Market we made summer salads for Mommy and Daddy Bears,
And for Baby Bears.
It blows my mind that S&Z will eat salads this year. Both of them even wanted some of my hardboiled egg!
For dinner tonight I made Red Lentil Coconut Soup. It had a dal-like consistency so I was glad that I had also cooked up some rice. I think I like this recipe better than the Lal Dal that I typically make. It was pretty spicy even though I used a sweet curry powder, but that's okay because D and I like spicy food. I would add carrot in the first step when I make it again in order to get some extra veg in there. Throwing in some cauliflower during the last 10-15 minutes of cook time would be delicious as well.
Both kids liked it even though it was "full of flavor" (aka, a little "picy"); we have taught them to drink milk with spicy food and they both seemed to handle it okay. Silas even had a second helping!
