E: Week of Dinners

FRIDAY! Even though it comes every week, it is just as exciting each time. What are your weekend plans? We have a couple holiday parties and a blogger brunch.

I tried a few new and few old recipes this week and was happy with the outcomes. I wanted to share them with you. Please excuse the poor pictures…I hate how it gets dark so early now….

1. Sabrina (Rhodey Girl Tests) Ricotta Fritters:

These are DELICIOUS! I used a little less oil (just brushed the bottom of the skillet) and they turned out fabulous. A great way to make a salad a little extra special!! The salad below has spinach, sunflower seeds, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm & the fritters on top:

2. Spaghetti Squash

Such a simple dinner! I roasted the squash up in the oven and topped Josh’s half with a sauce made of garlic, onion, tomato sauce, ground turkey and ricotta cheese. (Mine would be the same minus the turkey):

3. Hummus Sandwiches

Perfect alongside a simple salad or cup of soup. Toasted bread, Sabra hummus, spinach, artichokes, and cheese of choice all melted together:

4. Parmesan Pea Soup from Simply Life

I made a half batch of this soup and topped it with English Muffin croutons. So, so good. Green soup never freaks me out ;)  I wish I had made a full batch.
