This week has been very tough...not such a great start to the New Year. I woke up on New Year's Day with extreme pain in my left side and ended up in the Emergency Room. Turns out I have kidney stones. I spent the rest of the week in agonizing pain trying to pass them. On top of it all my Grandpa passed away. The pain managed to subside just in time for our family to travel 10 hours to be at the funeral, but it's been a long tough week. I haven't stepped foot in the kitchen and my plans of cooking and photographing new recipes went by the wayside. But it's a new week, and a new start, so I'm hoping things are looking up from here!
All of these recipes I chose this week are some of my favorites and it's an easy way to travel the globe. Asian, Mexican, Japanese, Mediterranean and Italian and none of them are overcomplicated.
Day 1: Grilled Asian Beef Kebabs with Rice and Teriyaki Bok Choy
These are really quick and easy, and eating sauteed teriyaki bok choy alongside is a super tasty side dish.
Day 2: Taco Soup with Salad and Chipotle Ranch Dressing
This soup can totally be made in the slow cooker, so depending on your schedule, saute the beef and throw everything in the slow cooker to simmer all day, or come home and make a pot right before supper. Either way it tastes fantastic with mixed greens with a homemade chipotle ranch dressing poured over top.
Day 3: Donburi (Japanese Chicken, Egg and Rice Bowl)
Mmmm, I love this meal. It's savory and kinda sweet and served over sushi rice.
Day 4: Grilled Beef Skewers with White Bean Dip with Rosemary and Roasted Garlic, Spiced Pita Chips and Sliced Cucumbers
You don't just have to save this white bean dip for appetizers with friends. It tastes fantastic as part of a meal. Grilled beef skewers flavored with garlic and cumin are a great choice.
Day 5: Italian Sausage Meatballs Stuffed with Mozzarella in a Tomato Pesto Sauce with Salad
These meatballs require few ingredients yet taste so yummy! Bursting with melty cheese in the middle and swimming in a tomato pesto sauce.

The grocery list is color coordinated by meal so you can easily pick and choose which meals you would like to make. Either print and use the grocery list as is and make all the meals I have planned, or easily cross off the meals and corresponding ingredients you would rather not make.
