Continuing on this week with some Cook This Book favorites! I love that there are so many recipes in this book because by the time you come back around to re-cooking one it feels fresh. When picking dinner recipes, I try to throw in a variety of meat, non-meat, or seafood options, but if you have the cookbook feel free to swap out any recipes or ingredients that don't meet your dietary preferences. For me personally, I am allergic to gluten, so I am making substitutions to most recipes to make it gluten free! Some examples: gf pasta instead of wheat pasta, tamari instead of soy sauce, gf flour instead of wheat flour, etc.
If you are making any substitutions and you think it is enhancing the recipes, use the "Contact Claire" form at the bottom of every page to tell me - I would love to hear about it!

Roasted Salmon w/ Marinated Olives & Potato Chips - 7/10
Super low effort for high amount of flavor!
Added cilantro rice as a base to make it a more substantial/full meal
Used salt and pepper chips to add more flavor!
Giving it a 7 bc I would like to lower the salt levels next time (blasphemous I know!!!)
Sweetie P's w/ Peanut Chili Salsa - 10/10
Easy 10/10 - the sweet potato gets caramelized and soft, but crispy, and the peanuts add a good crunchy texture to offset the mush, plus the spice of the chili oil and the tang/freshness of the lime.... the flavor profile is unmatched
Literally want to have these in the fridge every week - they keep really well for leftovers and I've been putting the salsa on other dishes all week
Sneaky Cottage Cheese Salad - 8/10
Super refreshing and the cottage cheese is actually quite sneaky and good!
Best eaten fresh and sadly doesn't keep super well as leftovers but I still ate it the next day!
Peanutty Pork Noodles w/ Crunchy Celery - 8/10
Very filling and makes a lot! Great for leftovers throughout the week.
Don't skip out on the fresh pasta - IMO this makes all the difference!
The Nicoise Sandos & Milk Braised Chicken didn't make it into the rotation this week - that's okay and just means I already have a meal for this next week! So in a way I am saving on groceries if my girl math is correct....
