What I ate Wednesday #7

I haven't done What I Ate Wednesday in a while, and I kinda missed it. I was lazy for a bit, then I got sick and now I'm better. I didn't capture what I ate in a day but I'm gonna let you in on my meal plan for a week. This week I decided that I would pick some recipes from cookbooks that I have and some Pinterested recipes. The theme for March is green, and you will see below I have green foods in each picture!

Saturday: Steak, Lemon Roasted Potato with Horseradish Yogurt sauce and salad

Sunday: Salt beef dinner (Jigg's Dinner)

Monday: Veal Scallop with sauteed vegetables

Tuesday: Mom's Lemon Chicken, sauteed green and yellow beans, mashed potato

Wednesday: Spicy chipotle bean & rice burritos (I'm going to add beef)

Thursday: Fries, dressing and gravy (Its a Newfie thing!)

Friday: Chicken Skewers, Amazing Satay Sauce, Fiery Noodle Salad

So the first book I cooked from is called Bite Me

I enjoy all the pictures in this book, it is so creative. The recipes on the other hand are okay. I have tried other recipes in this book but I don't remember what they are. This week I made Restorative Roasted Vegetable Soup (without the noodles), it's on Page 38 and Super Saucy Peanut Butter Noodles, Page 125. This is what I made for my lunch. They are both okay, but I probably won't make them again.

 I also made Mom's Lemon Chicken which is on Page 133. It was good, very very lemony! I changed up the recipe a little and didn't use all of the lemon juice that they called for. I wouldn't want the chicken to have anymore lemon. I will post my version in a few days. 

I still have hope for this book, there are still more recipes that I want to try. Maybe I just need to pick something better. Even if the recipes are the greatest, the pictures are amazing!

I also made Veal Scallop with Sauteed Vegetables from Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food. 

For me it lacked flavour. I didn't add the balsamic vinegar that it called for and maybe that's why. I don't like balsamic vinegar so I'd rather it be bland than taste like that. I have tried tons of recipes from this book and have loved them all. 

Check out the other recipes that I am trying out this week as well!
