If you have preschool age children, the title of this entry might bring to mind a song about another food.  We’ve been listening to that song a lot around here lately!

Moving right along…I’ve been trying several new recipes this month.  I’m most proud of the Curry meal I made this past weekend:

I would say it’s basically an Indian meal, though I am sure they are not eating too much curried Beef in India! The dishes are (clockwise, beginning at the top):  “Bombay” curry (Not sure how it got that name — it’s basically curried beef with a sauce that contains coconut milk, making it a little bit sweet), Curried Zucchini, White rice, and Naan (an Indian flat bread — though this batch was not particularly flat). I was very happy with the meal overall — it was not really spicy at all, much to Tony’s disappointment and Madeline’s delight.  Hopefully I can find some middle ground on the heat level next time!

This month I’ve also tried new recipes for Thai Chicken Pizza, Cheese stuffed meatballs, Pork Chop and Apple Skillet, Shepherd’s Pie, and a pasta dish with spinach and tomatoes. So far they have all been generally successful, though I managed to get too much peanut butter in the Thai pizza…and though the pizza wasn’t spicy at all, Madeline really had a hard time eating it — most likely because it had the word “Thai” in the name, and her least favorite meal I make is Pad Thai (after we tried to get her to eat it when it was a little on the spicy side).   I don’t have anything new and exciting on the menu for the rest of this week, but my success with new recipes so far this month is definitely keeping me motivating to look for more new and tasty recipes!
