Menu for April 18-21 - Monday: Moroccan Spiced Soup

Pin It Now! I'm still reeling from the awesome bolognese last night.  But super excited for this weeks menu.  Mostly new stuff, though I am adding an old fave.  We are heading to Vegas for Easter...that would explain the lack of dinner on Friday night.  But I will have a fun recipe and some great pix of the Easter cakes we'll be making!  Happy cooking and happy Easter!  :)


Monday:  Its a cloudy, overcast day...so soup is on the menu for tonight.  This sounded really good, it's vegetarian (after the mass amount of meat last night I though that it was fitting), and very simple to make.  I might serve with a side salad if I can find any decent leftover lettuce in my fridge.

Thursday: Lamb Tagine

Pin It Now! The hubby and I really enjoy lamb.  When cooked right, you don't get a "gamey" taste at all.  This recipe sounds wonderful and received rave reviews.  Not sure about the cost of lamb, so I'll see if I can get it to stick to the $2.45 per person price tag.  I may also double this dish as well...some reviews said it would be a good idea!  :)  The couscous recipe follows (make double..it's that good!)


Going to follow this reviewers tips:

"This recipe was excellent. I doubled it. We served it over pearl couscous seasoned with cinnamon, a bay leaf, lemon zest, salt and broth. The only change I made was to add baby green beans (Trader Joe's) about 20 minutes before the tagine was finished. Great addition. Served it with a very nice Sextant zinfandel. For dessert, we made orange cardamom creme brulee. Will definitely make again, but next time, will include more good friends."
