Weekly Eats {1}

I'm excited to start a new blog theme of sharing new recipes we have been enjoying. Tyler and I love food. Whenever we talk about going on a vacation or our dreams of where we want to travel, the subject of food always makes up the majority of the conversation. But we've been getting tired of making the same meals for dinner week after week and found ourselves deciding what to eat based on simplicity and cost-two things that are important to take into consideration but we didn't always think about nutrition. So we decided to change things up and now we spend time planning meals in advance and the first factor we take into consideration is nutrition. We've found some really tasty meals that are good for us and also happened to be pretty simple. So here's what we've been eating the last two weeks!

Stuffed Porkchop and Zucchini Fries

This was our first go at a new recipe and it was delicious. We especially enjoyed the zucchini fries because they are baked in the oven and were crispy...almost tasted like french fries!



Curried Shrimp and Mango Couscous

 
This dish was really outside my comfort zone but I wanted to try something that I normally wouldn't make.

We used homemade pizza dough and it was delicious. I really liked the black beans on the pizza.

 
This was fun because we used bok choy which was a new ingredient for us. It was good but could have used a little more flavor.

We really liked this soup with fresh spinach! It fed us for a quite a few meals!

I have always wanted to make pesto and I finally did! It was fun to use zucchini and yellow squash as noodles with the regular spaghetti noodles.
