Every Wednesday I write a blog post with all of the vegetarian dinners we ate this week.
We had a fun week with lots of dinners out!
Wednesday: Pimento Cheese Sandwiches
Ben sent me this recipe because he knows how I love pimento cheese. It was really freaking hard to follow as a recipe (it was written as a funny article, not a recipe), but it turned out good. It tasted a little more healthy than some other pimento cheese recipes I’ve made (probably due to the dill and green onions). We had carrot sticks on the side.
Thursday: Dinner Club
Our dinner club theme this month was casseroles, so I made my macaroni and cheese. And, since we are supposed to share recipes for dinner club, I actually typed up my grandma’s recipe finally!! So now you can make it just like I do. Ben and the kids had macaroni and cheese at home along with roasted broccoli.
Friday: Alma de Cuba
My sister was in Philly for a work conference, so I drove up to spend the afternoon with her (Ben came home from work early to watch the kids. Thank you, Ben!). We had so much fun walking around, getting our nails done, shopping, and catching up. Then our dad drove down from NJ to have dinner with us. We had dinner at Alma de Cuba which was one of the best Cuban restaurants I’ve been to!! My favorites were the little rolls they served and the Empanadas de Verde (Red kale, manchego cheese and artichoke escabeche). Yum!!
Saturday: Double Date Night!
Ben and I met up with our friends Heather and Rich at Rasika, one of the best Indian restaurants ever! We had some drinks at the bar, then sat outside for dinner. But before we even got our appetizers, the sky opened up and started pouring (even though all of our weather apps said ZERO chance of rain!). Everyone had to run inside and wait for more tables to open up inside. But we didn’t mind hanging out by the bar for a little longer! When we were finally seated and had our meal, it was amazing! I had the palak chaat, shrimp kathi roll, and Dal Dhungaree. Everything was so good and I wanted to keep eating until I burst! Haha!
Sunday: Super Classy 40th
One of my bestest friends, Diana, had her 40th birthday party at Whitlow’s while the kids stayed home with a babysitter and had PB&Js for the THIRD night in a row! Oops! We had so much fun celebrating our fabulous friend and neighbor!
Monday: Asparagus, Spinach and Feta Quiche
I really liked this spring quiche and will definitely make it again. Sam and Campbell really liked the pie crust, and picked at the rest.
Tuesday: Lots o’ Apps
I thought it would be fun to have an assortment of appetizers instead of a regular entree. We had baguette slices, pita chips, tomatoes, English cucumber sticks, baby carrots, this awesome dip, roasted chickpeas, and manchego cheese.
