Dinner Lately

There's this little place down the street that is the perfect walking distance and they happen to have the best pizza...and I am not a pizza girl...but I crave this pizza. Thus, I have become good friends with the owner lately...Terry is just so nice...but however nice Terry and Jo can be, they are not nice to our wallet and my kitchen utensils have been rather lonely sitting without use. So, last week I planned out meals and came upon some delicious recipes...so good, that they might be part of our revolving list of must have dinners. I found them all on the kitchn.


#1 - Fried Rice - I will no longer make soggy fried rice. This recipe is great - so good we had it twice this week. I made it with chicken instead of tofu and bok choy is one of my new favorite vegetables.
#2 - Chili, Lemon & Basil Shrimp with Israeli Couscous - Two words: Quick & Delicious. I added snap peas and carrots for a little crunch.
#3 - Chap Chae (Korean Noodles with Vegetables) - I added shrimp and used some delicious brown rice noodles.
