Week in Review 7/28/12

This is the last weekend in July, that is just crazy!  I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone.  My in-laws left yesterday, so now it is time to get back to normal, whatever that is!  We haven’t had normal in forever.  Hopefully this weekend we can get a little more organized from the move, although we have made a lot of progress over the last week.  Next week I will actually start cooking again.  I cooked plenty this week, but it was quick, nothing new, just get food on the table for a crowd kind of meals.  I am excited to branch out and experiment in my new kitchen!

Here is what I was up to this week:
Peach Lemonade – fresh peaches and tart lemons make a very refreshing summer drink.
Chocolate Applesauce Muffins – chocolate muffins with only 130 calories each.
No Bake Peanut Butter S’mores Bars – S’mores and peanut butter come together in one amazing treat!  Plus, no oven or campfire needed!
Biscoff Caramel Cookie Bars – I made Biscoff flavored caramel, and layered it with chocolate chip cookie.  Serious deliciousness!

Here are a few things I bookmarked this week:
Corn Gratin by Savory Simple – fresh corn is in season and this sounds amazing with it!
Coconut Curry Shrimp by Epicurean Mom – this sounds incredible.  I love all the flavors, and have been looking for more shrimp recipes!
Thai Peanut Noodles with Shrimp by Curry for Comfort – I told you I was looking for more shrimp recipes   I love Thai flavors, and this pasta sounds delicious!
Smoky Corn & Grilled Avocado Salad with Chipotle Caesar Dressing by Patty’s Food – corn and avocado are some of my favorite summer ingredients.  The smoky dressing sounds perfect with this!
Tamarind Marinated Baked Chicken Wings by Lemons & Anchovies – this chicken looks wonderful, and I had no idea what else to use the jar of Tamarind concentrate for!

Hope you have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!
