Dinner - A Week in Review

I haven't had the chance to post recently, but I have been snapping a quick pic before digging in. Here is what we have been eating this week:

 This is a dish called Mapo Tofu.  I had a packaged sauce from the Japanese supermarket which just calls for ground pork and tofu to be added. I used ground turkey and tofu and also added spring onion and some mushrooms.  It is served on rice (brown for me and white for Adam) and topped with pickled ginger. We finished  some leftover edamame from Adam's lunch.

I marinated salmon in lemon, lime, honey, chili flakes, and cayenne pepper and baked in the oven. Served with steamed zucchini and carrots, cauliflower puree (Max's leftovers), and re-heated mixed brown and white rice.

I had leftover salmon so I made a cold salmon soba salad with cucumbers, mushrooms, and a delicious korean dried seaweed with soba sauce.
And tonight Adam grilled some chicken that he seasoned with salt, pepper, chili powder, rosemary, and I'm not sure what else. It was delicious.  I made the salad which was pretty basic, except with one special ingredient.  I used to buy fennel every once in a while and would slice it up in salads, but ever since Adam discovered grating it to smitherines, it has become a salad staple in our house.  It is much more subtle that biting into a big chunk and adds a really good background flavor.

 Did you all know that Adam became quite the adventurer in the kitchen beginning when I got pregnant?  I was always too nauseous to cook, but I also couldn't stand our take-out options. He cooked lots of really nice simple meals for me and slowly began learning how to experiment.  Now he's a pro.  The dumplings are spinach and potato pierogies that we buy frozen from Fairway.  I'm not always a fan of pierogies, but I like these.  Overall a good week in homecooked meals.  Hope you got some inspiration from some of this.  What have you been eating?
