Ok, I wasn't really that happy about it yesterday when I had to sit down and come up with a whole month's menu (dinner only since it was the only meal my entire family is together). It was daunting at first. I kept looking at the calendar for the remaining days in March and entire month of April and thought how can I possibly fill the each day with something new and exciting. lol. My friend, Chrystyna, has done this to keep track of her food intake and also budgeting as we all know eating healthy is expensive!!!
So I gathered all my cookbooks and even found some that I didn't know I had or had never opened! lol. It took me a few hours but I filled in a whole month and a half without pulling my hair!!! That took a lot out of me. lol. But now that I had the menu down, it was time to cook. Yikes! I don't think I'm a bad cook but I'm not very adventurous so this was a bit out of my comfort zone.
Today was the 2nd day. Yesterday was "Over Rice" Day like Stir-fry over rice kinda stuff. I made Teriyaki Vegetable Stir-Fry... making homemade teriyaki sauce and the family like it! Yay!!! Then today was Soup Day. I made Creamy Garlic Potato Soup. It took me a while to make it. It just does when I try new things coz I wanna make sure I got it right. It was a simple recipe tho and doesn't really take that long to make... it was just me being picky. lol. Anyway, it turned out really good. My son and husband loved it and so did I!!! =) I served it with salad (which was hardly touched other than myself) and a 7 grain loaf bread. I was a delicious meal! =) Great recipe, Cheryl!!! (author of the recipe book. lol.)
