Not having leftovers last week made it really hard to continue our streak of eating at home exclusively, so I may have gone a little overboard this weekend to compensate. It felt good to stock the fridge and pantry. I made pickled red onions, pickled peppers, a large batch of black beans, vegetarian chili, summer minestrone, cold brew, simple syrup (for sweetening our lovely cold brew), croutons, honeydew agua fresca, lemon-garlic vinaigrette, and salsa. Phew!
In the kitchen, I’ll be working on changing up our breakfast routine, making the 8yo’s lunches more substantive and putting together a picnic for our evening at Auditorium Shores on Wednesday.
