Overall I made 22 things in May.
May 2
Grilled Cheese (Kid's Lunch)
On white bread.
I've cooked this 10 times before
May 3
Sheet-Pan Kielbasa With Cabbage and Beans (Dinner)
May 4
Panko Fried Chicken with Lemon (Dinner)
With persian cucumber in rice vinegar
May 5
Rice Bean Cheese Burrito (Kid's Lunch)
Hot Dogs (Dinner)
With pan seared green beans
The Best Basic Guacamole (Side)
Guacamole turned out well - I added the pureed onion mixture a bit of a time until it was good (instead of adding it all at once like last time).
May 7
Sheet-Pan Chicken With Artichokes and Herbs (Dinner)
I'd make this again. I pushed the veggies under the chicken (based on some experience with the salmon and leek recipe), but I think this was a mistake- the fennel didn't cook enough, and the veggies that weren't underneath were blackened and delicious. A small adjustment for next time!
May 8
Hard Shell Tacos (Dinner)
I've cooked this just once before
May 11
Pasta alla Norcina (Creamy Pasta With Sausage) (Dinner)
With zucchini
I think this was a hit last time, but not so much this time. I liked it though! Notes: use a big pan, everything took about twice as long as noted.
I added onions with the zucchini (at the same time), and cooked it on high heat for a while, then reduced to medium high. Turned out well.

May 12
Cast Iron Chicken with Roasted Lemon and Rosemary (Dinner)
I've cooked this just once before
May 17
Detroit-Style Pan Pizza Recipe (Kid's Lunch)
Greek-Style Chicken Kebabs with Lemon and Oregano (Dinner)
Zov's Hummus (Side)
I've cooked this 14 times before
May 18
Moroccan Harira Soup (Lunch)
From Simply Zov, pg 134.
May 22
Cheese Enchiladas (Dinner)
From Simply Zov, pg 268.
I thought these were good - even better the day after, heated back in the oven so they got extra crispy.
Surprised my kids didn't love them, because the enchiladas were 90% cheese (even after I cut the filling in half).
May 24
Hard Shell Tacos (Kid's Lunch)
Crispy Tofu with Cashews and Blistered Snap Peas (Dinner)
Roasted Broccoli (Side)
May 25
Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles (Dinner)
With raw snap peas
I was thinking of Skillet Chicken and Farro With Caramelized Leeks, but decided to stick with the original
