Monday- we had Chicken and Dumpling Soup and a shocker was that Cyrus ask for seconds! Makes me want to make it every day of the week.
Tuesday- Sweet Potato and Lentil Curry over rice [it is adapted from this recipe but I am using brown lentils, sweet potato instead of carrot and spinach]
Wednesday- Shepherd's Pie
Thursday- Chicken Carbonara [third week in a row but requested everytime plus Cyrus actually eats it]
Friday- I am torn between Chicken Soup with Brown Rice and Ginger or Thai Chicken Soup...
Saturday- Cajun Fettucine [shrimp has been requested and this is very similar to Chicken Carbonara] and a little hot! for Valentine's Day. Smores Truffles and Velvet Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for dessert...
As always, more recipes and menu ideas over at Organizing Junkie!

So with the sweet potato substitution- do you put them in peeled and cubed, or cooked, or what? I love sweet potatoes roasted in the oven for 40 minutes, and then mashed (sometimes with skin, sometimes not), but I don't know whether cooking it like that before adding it to boiling lentils would make it too mushy already. Also, red lentils break down really easily, while French lentils (black-blue-looking) don't, so which would you recommend in this combination, O Chef? :-)
