This was our first week back to work/school, so we chose recipes that looked fun and quick.

#1 Faki (Greek Lentil Soup)(p. 121): I seasoned this with mint, parsley and bay leaf. An easy recipe that yields a generous amount of soup. Reviews were mixed. PGR rated it 5/5, KLH rated it 3.5/5 and SAH rated it (2/5). All were comparing it to our standard Rehfwitz Lentil Soup. Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)

#2 Midnight Pasta with Garlic, Anchovy, Capers and Red Pepper (p. 367): So fast. So delicious. So simple. We love that it can be made with things we have on hand all the time. SAH thinks it would be good with added protein. Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

#3 Salmon in Parsley Sauce (p. 429): Very quick and easy, made with accessible ingredients. Perfect weeknight dinner. We cut the recipe in half for the 3 of us. Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)

#4 Coconut Hot Chocolate (p. 42): An interesting dairy-free take on hot chocolate. We had it for dessert after services. We made this without adding egg yolk or extra milk. It was very rich and yummy. We split the recipe 3 ways and it was plenty for each of us. Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
