Happy Monday!
I don't know about you, but I used this weekend to re-charge my batteries. The lousy weather was a-okay with us. We caught up on laundry, sleep and relaxation. We cleaned out closets, snuggled and cooked. It was glorious!
Now, it's time to start a new week...and a new menu!
From top left:
Spaghetti - Last night, I made a big pot of homemade spaghetti for Keith's family. We had such a great dinner and enjoyed our time together even more. I'm perfecting the sauce recipe more and more. Once I get it just right, I'll share it!
Raspberry Truffle Brownies - I made these yesterday, too. They were great! The recipe and photo is from Tablespoon (via girlwhoateeverything). I've got photos, the recipe and my comments to share this week!
Get the recipe for the brownies here!
Chicken, Apple and Smoked Gouda Salad - This is a Southern Living recipe that I'm looking forward to trying. The website doesn't have a photo, so I'm borrowing abountifulkitchen.com's photo since they have made it before. Sounds like it's going to be great!
Sesame-Soy Meatballs - This Cooking Light recipe sounds pretty darn delicious. It will definitely be something new and different for us to try!
Result: Good, and easy. We like them, but decided they definitely need SAUCE. They're screaming for it. So, I'll make this again soon and add a sauce to it, and if it tastes awesome I'll post it all here on the blog.

Crab and Grilled Corn Salad with Manchego and Cracked Pepper Breadsticks - Gosh, I have been meaning to make this forever. It just looks SO appetizing! Can't wait to see how it turns out. It's another Cooking Light creation.
Verdict: Okay. These tasted good, but not great and certainly not memorable. We did love the breadsticks though. That was the best part! However, I probably won't make the salad recipe ever again.

I'm looking forward to all of these new dishes and sharing the best ones with you throughout the week!
