So I keep saying I want to try a new recipe, but then I forget to make out the next week's menu until just before I leave for our errands and grocery trip. After I get home and am putting things away, I realize I did it again. Or rather didn't do it again. So this week, we will not be trying anything new. Again. Right now, while I'm thinking about it, I need to go ahead and put down something new for next week's menu and start my grocery list... (I'm trying it out for a few weeks instead of my usual iPhone shopping list. I just don't like having to waste paper for this...)
Monday
baked rotini
salad
Tuesday
hot dogs (basketball practice)
Wednesday
pork chop casserole (onions, potatoes, and carrots)
steamed broccoli
Thursday
blackened tilapia
roasted cauliflower
carrot orzo
Friday
leftovers
Saturday
sandwiches/hot dogs/leftovers (home team night)
Sunday
sandwiches/hot dogs/cereal (AWANA night)
As I look back over my menu, I see we are having two "sort-of" new things. The pork chop casserole is Mama's recipe, which I've made before, but it's been several years. I'm not sure if the boys will like it or not...
The second "new" thing is roasted cauliflower. I tried making it once before, but it was from my own thoughts on how it should be - and it wasn't great. This time I have a recipe to follow! I'm sooooo hoping it will be like the roasted cauliflower I've had at both Fadi's and Ali Baba's (local Mediterranean restaurants).
If they're hits, I'll add the recipes to my recipe blog.

Well, duh! The carrot orzo was another new recipe, one I clipped from a magazine a few months ago. I ended up with three new recipes after all!
All three were big hits with the family. I especially loved the roasted cauliflower - and it did turn out restaurant quality!
