Sunday: buffalo chicken wraps, garlic buttered noodles, carrots
This was inspired by my great friend Katie. She made me her family recipe of this for lunch one day last week and it was delish. We both used kielbasa instead of italian sausage and didn't take the time to bake it. Thanks Katie for the yummy lunch and the inspiration!
Tuesday:chickpea and vegetable curry, naan
Ok... we love naan... but often I buy it from Trader Joe's (which is delish), but since the summer is rapidly coming to an end I'm making as much as I can from scratch. Except since the curry was in the crockpot at 1pm, I forgot I wanted to make naan, hence the recipe sans yeast. And I'll also admit, the 10-15 min rest time for it was definitely 5 minutes, because well, I was hungry. Still, it was a good bread!

| first attempt at homemade naan |
Busted out my tart pan to use some tomatoes and basil from our garden and the rest of the chevre. I used my mini food processor to make the dough. Much easier than making it by hand.
sidenote: I bought chicken thighs and legs... scandalous, I know?! I got 8 pieces of chicken for the price of like 2 chicken breasts. This is an interesting read...to sum it up if you don't want to read it, it's super easy to overcook chicken breasts because they are so lean, so these "fattier" pieces are a little forgiving in that sense... and point #2: dark meat has 1/2 a gram of fat more than white. Yeah... I think I'll indulge every once and awhile.
Friday: frozen pizza
Great chefs like me don't come around every day. Glad I could inspire you. My mom would be so proud! :) also, 2 blog posts!! Love it!
