Menu Time

I'm just jumping right into the menu this time. Here we go!

Monday - apple pancakes, bacon
Tuesday - cabbage and turkey sausage soup, baked Korean sweet potatoes
Wednesday - pepper steak (green peppers, onions, thinly sliced steak, asian(ish) sauce, served with rice)
Thursday - turkey chili, Irish soda bread (for our Bible study group)
Friday - some form of cheese-stuffed fresh pasta from the market tossed with parmesan and olive oil, olive bread (also from the market), and whatever vegetable looks good at the market : )
Sunday - homemade spaghetti, homemade French bread, maybe a salad...?

Korean sweet potatoes - so sweet! Went camping this weekend (will post about that later this week) and picked up some of these at H Mart on the way to the park. I was introduced to them last year when we went camping with our neighbors, Bundo and Kyungsun. I'm not a big fan of the "regular" sweet potatoes that most people buy. These on the other hand are fantastic! Both times we had them camping we just wrapped them in foil, threw them in the fire, pulled them out, and ate them with a fork. toppings/condiments? None. They taste fabulous by themselves. I have purchased these advertised as Korean, Japanese and Oriental sweet potatoes and they were the same. They are purple on the outside and white on the inside. I don't think they're easy to find, but if you can find them I wouldn't pass up the chance. SO easy and SO delicious!

I'm really looking forward to eating fresh pasta and olive bread from the market. I have picked this up for dinner once before and it was so yummy. The pasta is great, the bread is so flavorful, and it makes for a very quick and easy meal after work. That's a win-win-win if you ask me!

The favorite on this menu is definitely spaghetti! What's not to like about homemade spaghetti and bread? No matter how many new recipes I try, and no matter how many of them we love, this will always be a favorite! Tag on homemade bread, a rainy/snowy day, sun going down at 5:30, and you have for yourself the perfect, cozy environment for making memories around the dinner table : )
