Recipes We Use

Because I wish everyone would post a list of their most commonly used recipe links (and because I've been doing a lot of transferring of "favorites" as we juggle computers that work), here is mine (so I can look at this at the beginning of every month and have a MUCH easier time planning the month's meals).  If you choose to follow suit, please leave a comment with a link to yours.  That would be fun!

Vegetarian:
Pasta Primavera (Pioneer Woman)
Creamy One-pot Pasta (PJ's Recipe Box)
Veggies and Noodles with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce (Our Best Bites)
Thai Peanut Noodles **Double the entire recipe except the chile sauce - half that** (Our Best Bites)
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas (Whole Foods)
Mexican Enchilada Sauce (Food.com)
Sweet Potato Pasta (this very blog)
Black Bean Torta (Vegetarian Slow Cooker)
Parsnip Coconut Curry (Vegetarian Slow Cooker) - a double batch FILLS the crockpot.
Broccoli Pesto (Vegetarian Cooking)
Ratatoille Pasta (One Dish Heart Healthy Meals) - use full package of spaghetti and add 4Tbs butter to noodles.
African Sweet Potato Stew (Cooking Light Slow Cooker) - make sure you use cooked beans and roasted peanuts

Salmon:
Smoked Salmon Alfredo (Allrecipes.com)
Grilled Salmon with Sweet Corn and Avocado Salad (Whole Foods)
Almond Crusted Salmon with Caramelized Onion and Basil (Whole Foods)

Halibut:
Grilled Halibut with Mango Pico de Gallo (Whole Foods)

Other:
Chicken Enchilada Soup (PJ's Recipe Box)
Chicken a la King (PJ's Recipe Box) - Funny thing about this is that I'm embarrassed I like it.  I don't like biscuits and gravy, but since this is the meal they served me in the hospital right after I had Sabrina (naturally, remember??), I thought it was the greatest food ever made.  I've liked it ever since.
Kai Kang Dang *Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk* (Allrecipes.com)

Not online:
(At some point, maybe I'll write all these down here... but right now, I'm listing our main "go-to" meals for myself so when I plan our month's meals, I don't have to flip back through the calendar to remind me what we like)
Spaghetti Carbonara
Fajitas
HUB Cafe Chicken Tacos (use cooked beans for half of the chicken)
Tillamook Grilled Chicken Breast (pg. 137 in Tillamook cookbook)
Foccacia Bread Pizza (using Tyler Florence's dough recipe)
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Meatloaf
Emily's Spaghetti (thanks Emily!)
Khmer Grilled Pork with Pickled Veggies
Chicken Satay and Cucumber Salad
Khmer Curry
Sweet Aromatic Chicken

Randoms:
Chet K'tis *Khmer Banana and Tapioca Dessert* (khmer krom recipes)
Mango Lassi (Simply Recipes)

What does all this say about us?  We go through a lot of Coconut Milk.  We have a hard time getting out of the "Mexican and Thai" rut because those are our favorites.  And we eat a lot of delicious salmon.  Also, if you come to visit, this is the menu.  Let us know what you would prefer.  :)
