What we ate this week

The Ninjette and I took a walk yesterday to a different part of town and encountered this building. I love it because it reminds me of the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg from The Great Gatsby, one of the greatest books ever written; that book and F. Scott Fitzgerald influenced my life in too many ways to talk about in this post -- it's that important to me.

I've got some cool recipes lined up to try this weekend, so be sure to check back next week. Until then, here's what I ate this week -- maybe it will tide you over.

• Gnocchi with broccoli fontina sauce -- super-quick, super-easy, super-yummy
• Red pepper soup -- so easy there's not really a recipe, just a couple of quick steps
• Chicken fatoush salad -- I used the 5-minute-a-day bread recipe to make a family-sized pita for this one, but you don't have to go all ninja on it; just buy some pitas (I'm also going to turn the leftovers, minus the pita, into a pizza tonight -- I love food recycling!)
