Not meaning to do it, this week had an international flair. Here is this week menu plan.
Monday - Beefy Baked Ravioli - This was a winner with the family.
Tuesday - Corned Beef Dinner - First time doing corned beef. Was OK. Cooked cabbage got a thumbs down. The corned beef was good.
Wednesday - Curried Chicken - I don't often cook with curry, but when I was puting this one together, it smelled wonderful. I couldn't wait to sit down for supper. Sadly I was disappointed as the flavour was so much less than the smell of it. Still overall was a good dinner. I will have to investigate other curry dishes to see what was different.
Thursday - Spicy Thai Peanut Steak - YES. Big hit (should say I don't really consider my two young ones to say if something is good because if it isn't peanut butter or nutella its next to impossible to get them to eat). Hubby and my girl gave it 9.5 and buddy boy did eat his so that is really good. Will do this again and soon. The recipe I used is below but I used pad Thai sauce since I couldn't find spicy peanut Thai sauce, which is probably good as the family is not fond of spicy. I add spicy stuff to my food at the table.

Friday - Crispy Crumbly Fish - Not bad for a fish dinner. Trying to include fish in our diet more but its not exciting to me. I want to stay away from for breaded and fried fish & chips as that seems so contradictory to me.
Saturday - Southwest Chicken Pasta - Another OK dinner. Next time, instead of pasta, I will try rice.
So this week we have gone to Italy, Ireland, India, Thailand, Canada and Mexico. This is good.
