Menu for October 20, 2013 through October 26, 2013

Have you been enjoying fall?  I've been loving it!  Last weekend Mark and I explored a new part of Connecticut.  We came across a bike path that goes along the Connecticut River.  It was beautiful!

I also tried a new (not healthy) chocolate chip cookie recipe.  It's been way too long since I made cookies! I have a favorite recipe that I've made (literally) hundreds of times, but I was looking for a recipe that used bread flour since that was all I had.  These are Alton Brown's "The Chewy" chocolate chip cookie.  The bread flour helps with the chewiness.  They were very good! Mark will be sharing them at a game night tonight. :)

For dinners this week you can look forward to sweet potato peanut bisque (while I haven't adapted the recipe on the blog, it's one of my favorite soups!), spaghetti squash and meatballs, coconut thai chicken and vegetables, and pizza!

Dinners for the Week

Sunday: Sweet Potato Peanut Bisque with salad and/or breadsticks (I tried these last weekend and they were good! I want to try to modify to include whole wheat flour).

• Make the full recipe and eat half tonight, have leftovers on Wednesday.  

Monday:  Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs (serve in or out of spaghetti squash shells- whatever you prefer!  It's easier to have leftovers out of the shells).
