Today I’m venturing into the world of Indian cooking for the first time. I started gathering all the spices I will need for the two dishes I’m preparing. This isn’t even all of them! I have a feeling it will be a very flavorful and fragrant dinner.
MONDAY:

TUESDAY:

WEDNESDAY:

THURSDAY:

FRIDAY:

SATURDAY:

I know, menu planning this week is kind of funny, but if you have a plan, please share it! And if you have a Thanksgiving meal plan, please click over to this post and share. Thanks!

Mmmm, Indian food! We love the exotic flavors, and started cooking a lot of our own Indian dishes at home. We adapted a green fish curry by substituting tofu for the fish. The green fish curry was good, but somehow it just tastes sooo much better with tofu. I still have yet to make Sag Pannier at home – I need to find the cheese or stop being a baby and just venture out and be versatile.
