Menu for September 27-October 1st

Sorry it's a day late!  But, I am getting better!  This week is still a little "international", but a little more laid back as we have been very busy and I have been tired!
Monday:  Thai Seared Shrimp with Tomato, Basil and Coconut
Tuesday:  Breakfast!!  We will be having "Mexican Eggs", Homemade hash browns (my first shot at this) since we have a lot of potatoes to use up and from scratch Waffles!
Wednesday:  Jambalaya
Thursday:  Mexican Pasta Skillet
Friday:  Leftovers

Feedback from last week's menu

Overall, this was a good food week!  I am pretty pleased.  I have also started another blog about the desserts I create.  I am on a cupcake kick right now. 
Monday:  Cuban-Style Rice (my recipe-first shot).  This was pretty good, though needs a little tweaking as it was a little bland.  The leftovers were better than the first night, also!
Tuesday:  Pastitsio (greek lasagna like dish).  This was amazing!!  We ate it all week for lunch and even dinner on Wednesday.  We both loved it!!
Wednesday:  Indian Tacos (I grew up near a native american university & attended many functions.  These are a favorite & are very nostalgic for me.).  We ended up having leftovers since we had so much!!
Thursday:  Coconut Salmon (not sure of the sides yet).  I ended up changing it to teryaki salmon because I didn't feel like messing with the coconut!  It was really good.  Much better than I expected!
Friday:  African Groundnut Stew (then we will be going to a bonfire for the middle school ministry-s'mores!).  The S'mores were awesome, btw!  The stew was a little weird (even for us!), but was good.  We both said we almost wished we didn't know what was in it before we tried it.  Not sure if this will reappear or not.

We continue our "trip around the world" this week as I continue to explore more ethnic cooking as well as creating my own versions of different ethnic foods.  So far the trip has been fun been fun and delish!

Monday:  Cashew Chicken.  This was delish as usual.  I made a little spicier than normal & loved it!  We had a guest for dinner and he liked it as well!
Tuesday:  Indian Style Coconut Curry (my own recipe-first try).  This was so good!!  My husband asked that it be put back in the rotation soon.  It was really spicy & I may tone it down a little next time.  Once I actually write a recipe and try it again, I will post it here!
Wednesday:  Tortellini.  I used the dried 4 cheese kind you boil and was not impressed!
Thursday:  Shrimp Creole.  I actually made the morracan chicken since I got things turned around.  I also made a morrocan carrot salad that I've made before.  I liked the chicken ok, but not a favorite.  I did inadverdantly dye by fingers (and nails) yellow from working with the turmeric!  That was fun.  My husband wasn't a fan of the salad since he doesn't like onions.
Friday:  Morrocan Chicken.  We had leftovers since I made so much food this week!  The shrimp creole is a fave so it will reappear soon!

Monday:  Cashew Chicken
