Wednesday~ Fajitas, guacamole
Thursday~ Grilled Bruschetta Chicken, salad with homemade sun-dried tomato dressing (that I also marinated the chicken in). I couldn't find whole or chopped sun-dried tomatoes so I used the paste and it was so yummy! Oh and P.S. - I took this picture :) I'm so proud of myself, haha!

New Recipe Review:
Chicken Tortilla Soup - Tim 9/10, 8.5/10, Ease to make - 2/10. Ok - I'm not lying that I think this entire soup took me like 2 hours to make with all of the chopping and simmering! But that is probably also because I was SO tired that day and the kids kept interrupting me - so I felt like it took a million years :)
BUT -this one was worth the effort! It was so flavorful and filling! The textures were well balanced -especially with the crispy tortilla pieces on top! It made a HUGE batch. So be prepared to have leftovers - we froze ours after eating it 2 days in a row :)
Changes: It was a bit too spicy for us, so I think I'll cut back a bit on the green chillies, the chili powder, and the jalapeños next time to bring the heat down a bit. We also added cheddar cheese as a topping - so tasty! It's a GO!
Emily's Brilliant Bacon Pasta - Tim 5/10, Julie 6/10, Ease to make 8/10. It was so easy to make and most of the ingredients I usually have on hand (ok except for the zucchini and the creme fraiche). But we weren't huge fans. The flavor seemed to fall flat a bit and didn't seem to be worth the calories. But I know many people who love this recipe, so don't let our opinion stop you from trying it! (Sorry Em!)
NO GO.
Spinach Lasagna Rolls - Tim 8/10, Julie 7.5/10, Ease to make - 7/10. We enjoyed this very much. It was light and yet filling. Tim didn't even realize it was meatless :) I didn't actually make rolls though because our lasagna noodles are much shorter here. So I just made it like traditional lasagna. So tasty! The only thing I would change next time is using our own sauce recipe instead of the tomato sauce in the recipe to add more flavor. It's a GO!
