I get a lot of recipes and meal ideas from Cooking Light and Real Simple. Sometimes I'll get an issue I'm crazy about and sometimes not so much. Well, after a week of eating an apple at every meal because it was the only type of produce available to me (Mississippi Trip), I was excited to return home to a new Real Simple with tons of delicious, healthy meal ideas to try. Here are the highlights from last week:
Dijon salmon cakes
Okay, so mine didn't stay very cake-ey, but it was tasty nonetheless. Next time I'd use more Dijon mustard and breadcrumbs to keep everything together.
Havarti-stuffed chicken
We actually used a seasoned cheddar instead, and I topped each piece with a little extra cheese because I never feel like I can get very much stuffing inside a chicken breast.
Sweet and spicy beef stir fry
This one was actually from last month's edition, but I was still keen to make it because the sauce is just a jar of red pepper jelly. So easy!
And the ultimate, no recipe-needed-simple-Saturday-post-long-run dinner: taco salad with celebratory beer.
I could probably eat this for dinner every night for a month and not get tired of it.
