Well, it has been a week... if you've been reading my posts, you already know that it has been one of cooking, "cookies", and back-to-school fun. Unfortunately for me, some of these changes (namely the latter two) have still kept me 1.4 pounds above my lowest point from a few weeks ago. All is not lost, and granted, it could be worse; but this is certainly still a reminder of what I will be up against for the rest of the year now that summer's over. This weekend, I have the following agenda to help me get back to where I need to be: exercise, a Whole Foods trip to Memphis, and cooking most everything in bulk Sunday (tomorrow) which I also plan on making a regular habit. That way, I lose less time during the week to get work done for school.
So, you may ask, what's on the menu for this week? We have a little bit of the classics, as well as a little bit of the exotic (I have a secret love for North African, especially Moroccan, cuisine):
Menu "la Rentree" ("Back-to-School" Menu):
Dejeuner:
- Moroccan Couscous Chicken Salad
Diner:
- Endive, Pear, and Roquefort Salad with Walnuts
- Zucchini Vichyssoise (chilled vegetable soup)
Dessert:
- Truffes au chocolat faites maison (homemade chocolate truffles - if I have time)
All recipes this week courtesy of Ina Garten's Barefoot in Paris cookbook - another treasure I found at the Williams-Sonoma Outlet Store!
Off I go - stay tuned for pictures tomorrow! A bientot...
