Yumminess Galore...

I love to try new foods, new recipes, new restaurants. Hubbs isn't as willing as I am, but he is fond of me, therefore fond of new food. ;) We set out Saturday with Bean and Sprout to make the trek to Trader Joe's. Now, the nearest TJ's is 1hr 45min away in Mass. Soooo worth it though. I make the haul once a month with nugglets in tow, but this was his first journey. He LOVED it! He found cheeses and ciabatta rolls and guacamole.... He found all natural/organic heaven. Which is great for me!! I didn't even have to "sell" it to him. Anyway, he came home (well, we ALL came home) with a new-found energy for "not-the-norm" recipes for us to make for dinners. I'm stoked! So far, we have tried Emeril's Portobello Mushroom-Bleu Cheese Burgers... scrumptastic!! It was like eating a meat pattie... but better!!! We didn't have bleu cheese, so we used feta and it was still amazing.  Recipe can be found here:

I apologize. I still haven't figured out how to make the links in blue...???

So, last night we tried bestie's blogged Israeli Couscous with Swiss Chard and Feta... Wow. It was great! I was a bit skeptical at first, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Even the nugglets mowed on the couscous...that's inspiring... her recipe is here:

Tonight we kept it simple... Black Bean Cheese Quesadillas.... still yummy! :)

Enjoy!!!
