Once again, I've been riding the blog roller coaster. 5 posts in a week then 1 then 5 and then a week of nothing. I've got to get better at spreading these things out and being more consistent.
Anywho, I'm here now and I'm linking up with Jessica Lynn to share with you what we'll be eating this week. I am a magazine junkie and Cooking Light and Food Network Magazine are two of my favorites. Until Pinterest came around, I almost exclusively cooked out of those two sources (and The Pioneer Woman's blog). Since I discovered Pinterest, my magazines show up, I tear through them, eagerly dog ear marking pages with inspiring recipes then the get put on the shelf, forgotten. This week I decided I'm not going to let all that inspiration go to waste, so everything I'm cooking this week comes from either Cooking Light or Food Network Magazine.
Here's what we're eating this week:
Sunday: Chicken and Dumplings {We love my go to recipe but want to try something different. On a completely random note, that was one of my 1st recipe posts, I think it's about time I go back and redo it with some legit photos!}
Monday: Grilled Steak (for the husband) and veggeis {ok, so there is no recipe for this one, it was the husbands request}
Tuesday: Coconut Curry Halibut with Stir-Fried Veggies
Wednesday: Ramen {so excited to try this one, I hope my expectations aren't too high}
Thursday: Trying a new restaurant, still haven't decided which one.
Friday: Four Citrus-Herb Chicken and salad with a Warm Tomato Dressing
Saturday: We'll cook based on what we find at the farmers market that day.
Speaking of farmers market, we tried out a new one in Little Italy this weekend based on some recommendations from coworkers and friends and loved it. It has a gorgeous view of the ocean and a great selection so we plan to make it our Saturday morning thing.
and look what happened! They turned the entire dish a lilac/grey color.
I'd love to see what you are cooking this week!

While we were there this past Saturday I had my grocery list for the week with me which included carrots for two different meals. Jason wanted to try some of the fun, colorful carrots we always see but never try so we picked some up.
I used them in the chicken and dumplings recipe above that we had for dinner tonight....
and look what happened! They turned the entire dish a lilac/grey color.
Luckily it tasted much better than it looked! We both prefer the slight spice of the other recipe I use but agreed this one was also delicious!
We LOVE the Little Italy Farmer's Market. We don't go there every week, but we do go there pretty often. The view is fantastic! I've had those colored carrots before but I've never thought to put them into something - we usually just eat them raw. Too funny that it turned your meal purple!
