The Sweet Kitchen: Whats on the Menu?

At the grocery store the other day, I picked up a new copy of the My Recipes.com: 101 Quick and Easy Recipes. It made menu planning this week very exciting because I was able to pick out several new recipes to try that were also lacking in the labor intensive department. I try each week to incorporate 2 to 3 new recipes into our meal planning. This is very helpful in keeping you out of a rut, and trying new flavors.

Sometimes it is taking an old recipe book off the shelf and flipping to any page, sometimes you search the internet to find a recipe similar to a favorite restaurant entree, and other times it can be picking up an inexpensive new cookbook at the store. Whatever it is I challenge you to try at least one new recipe a week. There will definitely be times when they bomb completely and you make pb & j's for dinner, but mostly they will coax you out of your comfort zone.

This week in the Deep South Sweets household we will be savoring:

Monday: Leftovers from our cookout Sunday night

Tuesday: Chicken Burritos*, Seasoned Black Beans, and Mexican Rice

Wednesday: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Garlic Toast, and Steamed Green Beans

Thursday: Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin, Onion Rice, and Roasted Broccoli

Friday: Ham and Pineapple Pizza* with Chopped Balsamic Salad

Saturday: Eating snacks in the suite at the Brave's Game

Sunday: Small Group Meal: Chili, Cornbread, Salad, and Peach Crisp with Maple Cream Sauce*

* indicates a recipe I am trying for the first time

So tell me, what new recipe(s) are you going to challenge yourself to try this week? Let me know and you will be entered to win a copy of the cookbook mentioned above (if I can find another one, otherwise you will get my copy).
