Palak Keema

Palak keema with basmati rice, and a garden salad. I got this Pakistani recipe from my friend Haniyyah. I’ve made this before and I really like it for many reasons. One, it tastes good. Two, it looks gross. And three, it has a lot of spinach in it.

Beef Broccoli Stir-Fry

Beef broccoli stir-fry with rice, miso soup, and a garden salad.Â This was from the quick and easy section.Â And it was, however, it seemed to fall short a little bit.Â It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t brag about it.

Spaghetti Bolognese

Spaghetti bolognese and a garden salad.Â As I was making this I kept thinking that it’d be a lot easier and quicker to just add some meat to a ready made spaghetti sauce.Â But then I ate it and dang, this was totally worth the extra effort.Â There’s nothing extra special about this, but I can’t put my fork down.

The Beet Meal

With it being Valentine’s Day, my heart sure has been BEETing.Â So I decided to make a four course beet meal for Valentine’s Day.Â Hearts are red and so are beets.Â Hearts beat, and well, beets are beets.Â The meal was beef tenderloin steaks with red wine tarragon sauce with aÂ side of beet greens, roasted beet and potato borscht, and a side salad with beets, oranges, and feta cheese.Â And for dessert, a beet cake.Â Yes, you read that right.Â A BEET bundt cake.Â I’ve never had any of these beets dishes before and they were all surprisingly great!Â The kitchen looked like a crime scene afterwards, but it was worth it.Â Even the beet cake was pretty tasty.Â It wasn’t nearly as gross as it sounds.Â It’s a very moist chocolate cake with just a hint of beet aftertaste.Â After my first bite I wasn’t sure.Â But after a few more I decided I really liked it.Â I probably won’t make it again unless we are having a huge beet fan over for dinner.Â Now I need to pretend I’m in an episode of CSI and clean-up my kitchen.
