I've been lurking on Jane Maynard's wonderful blog, This Week for Dinner, for a while now. It's a fantastic food blog where every week, Jane invites her readers to post their weekly menus. This week I wasn't feeling inspired when I was planning my week, so I turned to the site for inspiration. I was amazed by how diverse everyone's cooking was, and I got inspired. It's so easy to start repeating things and get stuck in a rut.
We had a great week - once I got out of the box.
On Monday, I used some store-bought pesto to whip up a chicken and cherry tomato saute.
On Tuesday, we had taco night - nothing fancy - using the Old El Paso taco kit - but so fun!
Then on Wednesday, I made tortilla espanola which we had with some tomato and mozzarella (gotta love those Jersey tomatoes). I loved that eggy concoction full of soft potatoes when I lived in Spain. My senora used to make me sandwiches with bread rubbed with tomato and garlic with slices of tortilla espanola. The last time I attempted to make it, a few years ago, it was a messy disaster. This time, thanks to the recipe from What's Cooking America, it came out perfectly.
The tricky flip (I was too nervous and Steve handled it beautifully):
