Here are some new recipes that I tried this month:
Avocado Hummus
This was a great lunch. I love avocados and I love hummus so I figured this was going to be a winner. The only change I will make for next time is to cut the recipe is half and make it two mornings in a row. I made a full batch on Monday and by Tuesday morning it was pretty brown. Still tasted good, but didn't look the best.
Pita Pizzas
This website has a lot of great ideas for school lunches. I tried the one that was just like a pizza Lunchable. I cut a whole wheat pita into slices and brought along pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni in separate containers. You have to like cold pizza (which I do) to enjoy this one.
Smoothies
I tend to be very busy at my desk over lunch so I had the idea of bring a smoothie for lunch. Something easy to eat while I check emails, grade papers, etc. This site has a ton of great smoothie combinations. I don't know if I will get through them all, but I might try :)
S'more Croissants
This is a great, easy little dessert. We have pigs in a blank frequently, and I always have croissants left over. Now, I can take those extra ones, add a little chocolate chips and marshmallows and have a yummy dessert waiting for us after dinner.
I try very hard to not cook the same things over and over. Of course we have our family favorites, but I also enjoy cooking new things. I try to cook something new each week. In the past, I have subscribed to many cooking magazines to get new ideas. I would tear out recipes that interested me. Just recently I create a new organized way to store and save these recipes. You can read about that here - Recipe Binder. Now I have Pinterest :) The nice thing about Pinterest is I don't have to print off the recipes. I can pin them to my boards and quickly access them on my iPad when I am meal planning and cooking. Here are my recipe boards if you want to take a look:
