. I may be fudging a bit on the proportions b/c I can’t find the book I got them out of (plus I ended up, like, tripling the recipe), but this will give you a general idea. As a note, I thought it needed more kick.

North African Fish Stew
Cookthink’s been good to me lately. Cooked this recipe (with slight tweaking) and was impressed what a great, robust addition it made to our weekly fish resolution.

Wax beans with grape tomatoes and herbs
Super simple, and any herbs will do – I actually am not even sure what I ended up using!

Pork tenderloin over braised leeks
Was shooting for a light meal after a heavy-eating weekend, and this fit the bill (served with the wax beans recipe I’ll add tomorrow). Thanks to Cookthink for inspiring the leeks portion of the dish.

My First Meatloaf!
I’ve never made meatloaf before – in fact, I wasn’t sure whether I liked it. But I had a ton of seasoned hamburger meat leftover from the party’s burgers, so it seemed a good thing to try. I used Alton Brown’s recipe, with some slight adjustments.

Roasted Vegetable Salsa
Super easy salsa recipe – the results were sweeter than expected, with lots of depth. This was a clean-out-the-fridge recipe, so vegetables can be adapted pretty easily depending on what you have on hand.
