We ate out a lot during the end of winter. Sometimes life is like that. And, really, it was nice to have a break from the kitchen.

WEEK 1

MONDAY - Vegetable tortilla stew (via Cravings). This has become a family staple - the kids all love it.

TUESDAY - Skirt steaks with chimichuri sauce and potatoes for Valentine's Day. Yum!

WEDNESDAY - Myer lemon pasta (from A Year Between Friends). Dan and I both found this amazing, but the kids hated the lemon flavor.

THURSDAY - Dinner at Cava with friends, Dan makes dinner for himself and the kids.

FRIDAY - Family dinner at Marble & Rye.

SATURDAY - Friends over - order pizza.

SUNDAY - Eat at the neighbor's BBQ.

WEEK 2

MONDAY - Family dinner at Guapo's.

TUESDAY - Chili in the crockpot.

WEDNESDAY - Spring fattoush salad (via It's All Easy) and baked potatoes. I love this salad.

THURSDAY - Turkey meatballs in tomato sauce (via The Sprouted Kitchen - Bowl and Spoon). This used to be one of my favorite recipes, but lately I can't get the meatballs right. I'm not sure what I keep doing wrong, but it's making me sad.

FRIDAY - Corn, bacon and parmesan pasta (via Smitten Kitchen's blog). This is so easy and so good.

SATURDAY - Dan cooks pork chops and potatoes.

SUNDAY - Carry out Ethiopian (yummy!)

WEEK 4

MONDAY - Baja fish tacos (via Cooking Light online). This has been a family favorite for a long time, though we haven't had it in awhile (in case you haven't noticed, I don't cook a lot of fish). So glad it's back in the rotation. Not a single leftover.
