I have completely changed the focus of my blog. I have not deleted old posts, so there are old unrelated posts. I will be blogging about the food I cook as my husband and I work towards a healthier lifestyle. I will have menus, pictures, recipes and tips on eating healthier. I hope you enjoy!

Feedback from last weeks menu

So, a friend recommended the movie Julie and Julia.  It was a great movie!  I liked it a lot more than I thought I would!  It also inspired me to perhaps try some French cooking.  At the very least, I want to get back into trying more ethnic cuisine. 
The crunchy asian salad and chicken turned out better than I expected!  I didn't think I would like the raw spinach leaves and did not think I would get my husband to eat it, but was pleasantly surprised!  There were a lot of leftovers and they did not go to waste!
So...I did not realize my husband had such a strong aversion to mustard and the ginger salmon had mustard in it, so that was a minor disaster.  He did eat it, but scraped off the "nasty stuff".  I thought it was delicious!!
The southwestern chicken layered salad is a favorite and was great as usual!
I didn't realize how much food I had made, so we changed Thursday to a leftover night so we wouldn't waste anything.  We will make the pork chops next week.
Our mexican pasta was amazing as usual.  We had our friends 11 year old daughter stay with us for the weekend and she loved it!  I was so happy!  She even got to help me make it!  It was a lot of fun.
Overall this was a pretty good week.  I am looking forward to having time to do some more complicated dishes and to cook more ethnic cuisine.
