Week of April 14, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas

Happy Easter!  As we bring you meal ideas each week, sometimes we have ones that are just OK…we don’t consider these “website worthy.”  Sometimes we have ones we think are really good, and then there are the ones we crave, can’t stop thinking about and can’t wait to make again!  That is true for several of this week’s meal ideas!  The Salmon Stuffed with Spinach, Feta and Ricotta, and the Roasted Ratatouille Pasta are both crazy delicious!  The Veggie Sushi Bowl with Creamy Wasabi Sauce and the Asian Style Sloppy Joes are also fantastic!  I honestly don’t know how I would choose if you ask me to pick a favorite!  If you have family in town for Easter weekend, these would all be great choices!  Plus, we have included some Easter-inspired meal ideas such as grilled Garlic and Rosemary Lamb Chops (if you are in the mood to fire up the grill!), the Roasted Strawberry and Asparagus Salad, and of course the Sweet Potato Nests with Quail Eggs (you can use regular eggs too!).  And we also included a bonus recipe for a mini dessert to satisfy those of us with a sweet tooth – it is Easter, right?!  Because they are “mini” size, moderation is easier to achieve with these Mini Lemon Cheesecakes with Little Bits Crust – using Little Bits cookies from the Farmers Market!  Find the recipe at https://eatrealamerica.com/recipes/mini-lemon-cheesecakes-little-bits-crust/.
