September 12th: Creamy Salmon Fettuccine & Spinach Salad

One of the few foods I don't like much is pasta. I am outnumbered in my household by people who love pasta however, so we end up eating it once or twice a week. I usually try to make it early in the week so we can send leftovers to daycare for lunch for Olivia. Tonight was a new one from September 2010's Today's Parent: So Creamy Salmon Fettuccine. I thought this one was just okay, but it is going in the try again folder because the rest of my family loved it.

Accompanying the pasta, we had a strawberry and spinach salad with orange poppy seed dressing. This recipe came from cleaneatingmag.com and we agreed the recipe was just okay, so this one goes into the recycling.

To finish off the night (and prep for the week ahead), I made cookies from March 2002's Today's Parent: Big Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I came across this recipe on the Today's Parent website, as part of their "Lunch Box Tool," which, if you are looking for lunch ideas, I recommend. I subbed 1/4 cup chocolate chips in place of raisins. The cookies are, just as the name implies, big, chewy, soft, and delicious. Try again folder.

And now, to listen to "The Big Lie Down" on the The Strombo Show and hopefully fall asleep.
