Menu for May 12, 2013 through May 18, 2013

Happy Friday!  Are you excited for the weekend?  Last weekend Mark and I got to spend some time at my family's cottage which is nearby.  It was a beautiful spring day!

I also tried a new healthy-ish dessert recipe.  These brownie bites are similar to the Healthier Brownies I've made in the past, but they are baked in a muffin tin to make individual brownie bites.  If you are looking for a new quick healthy-ish dessert, give them a try!  They are vegan and gluten-free.  I used regular granulated sugar and added some chocolate and peanut butter chips.

Ready for some dinner plans?  Sunday is Mother's Day, but if you don't have any prior plans I recommend Quinoa Burgers with Baked Sweet Potato Fries, two of my favorite foods ever!  Also on the menu this week is a Chopped Thai Chicken Salad which is absolutely delicious (Mark was SO excited for the leftovers), Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadillas (a surprisingly big hit the first time around!) and Sesame Crusted Salmon with Teriyaki Glaze (gotta get those Omega-3's!).   Hope you enjoy!
