Happy New Year!

This was one of my favorite weeks of recipes. yum yum yum!

http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2013/01/asian-chicken-lettuce-wraps-quick-and-delish.html- I love crispy lettuce wraps and these were definitely a great contender.

http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2012/01/the-best-chicken-enchilada-soup.html- I saw this recipe posted a while ago, but didn't make it because of the picture. When the blogger said it was her favorite of the month, I decided to try it and am SO glad I did. Seriously in my top 3 soup recipes!

http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2012/01/coconut-shrimp-curry-silpat-giveaway.html- I don't normally like shrimp but this was delicious! I liked the twist of adding the lemony marinade to the sauce.. it was a little bit different flavor of curry. I only used 1/3 of the salt called for in the recipe and it was just fine

http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2012/02/the-best-broccoli-beef.html- I was out of town when Ben made this but he said he really liked it. He didn't marinate the beef in soy sauce and said it was salty enough.

http://jessieheaviland.blogspot.com/2009/03/pizza-pockets.html- I would eat these every week if this pregnancy didn't cause me so much heartburn. My mouth waters just thinking about them!
