Weekly Eats: Carb-alicious


Looking at this week's carby round-up of meals makes me realize that this family sure wouldn't be very successful going gluten free! (Of course, if we had to under doctor's orders, we would.) It's no wonder that bread is always on Jona's "I will eat it" list; we sure do love it around here. Typically I do try to buy both whole-grain bread and pasta to mix in with white, but sometimes there's just no replacement for a crusty baguette (or tortilla, or pita).


Clockwise from top left:
1. Chicken Souvlaki Pita with Tzatziki from Tasty Kitchen with lemon and feta orzo. Mmm, I love Greek food, especially when there's tzatziki involved. My "pita" fell apart (I may have been trying to overstuff) so mine was more of a "pizza", but it still tasted delicious. The chicken is simple to make but flavorful and juicy from marinating before grilling.
2. Grilled Pork Tenderloin Tacos from Hello Natural. Taco night is a pretty regular thing around here, but I like to change it up with different fillings. This was a good change for sure, pork tenderloin is delicious in a taco. Rather than grilling (since it was about 5 degrees out that day) I seared the tenderloin on a grill pan and then let it finish cooking in the oven.
3. White Bean Tortellini Soup from How Sweet it is. It's certainly been soup weather around here. This soup was easy and quick for a warming weeknight meal, but it's still nice and hearty. I used mozzarella rather than havarti on the toasts, but I don't think you could go wrong with any kind of melted cheese.
4. Buffalo Chicken French Breads from How Sweet it is. More bread, hooray! Chicken wings meet French bread pizza. Yes, it turned out as good as it sounds.
What are you having for dinner?

Thanks for the positive feedback last week about the linkup. If you make anything delicious this month that you'd like to share I'd love for you to join me on January 30th for a Weekly Eats linkup.
