seasonal, vegetarian meal plans for a household of 3.
The temperatures have dropped quite a bit in the past few days, which means that baking can get thrown back into the week’s plan. I made some lovely little Whole Wheat Applesauce Muffins this morning that may be getting added into the regular muffin rotation this fall and I am hoping that I feel up […]
MoreMy plans for a quiche and soup dinner last week were squashed by the heat, but I think that we may be nearing more seasonally appropriate temperatures (for Central Texas ayways) so I shall forge ahead with more plans for hearty meals and a couple that even require the oven. Dinner: Split Pea Soup | […]
MorePhew! That was a long and hot summer break. I had ambitious editorial expectations for myself this summer and I now know to expect less of myself in the summer months when the girlie is home with me and the heat makes it nearly impossible to set into motion. We delivered the girl (now eight!) […]
MoreCraving lots of my mama’s food this week so I’m throwing in the Seitan con Papas and Tamales for a bit of home with a vegetarian twist. I’ve only planned through Friday, but am hoping to get some inspiration for those meals as the week progresses. Monday Breakfast: Tacos! Packed Lunch: Leftover Black Bean Veggie […]
MoreWe have seven weeks left of our summer break which means that it is time for me to step it up. I have ingredients for a full seven meals on hand right now and I am hoping that I can crank through it all by the middle of next week (at the latest) and have lots of leftovers on hand for lunches. Also hoping that I can whip my breakfast planning back into shape.
MoreSadly, the severe drought that we are experiencing has put a stop to any fireworks fun this year. We’ll spend most of the holiday enjoying each other’s company, cooking and traipsing about the city’s libraries, bookstores and record shops. Have a great holiday and I shall catch you on the flip side of it. Quickie meal […]
MoreI am going to spend the next couple of months wrangling our food expenses back down to a reasonable place. Feels like our food budgets have been spiraling out of control with lots of extra trips to the grocery store and more instance of food-gone-bad than I care to admit. ¡No mas! I am buying […]
MoreMy darling girlie is home with me for nearly three whole months (!!!) and I am ready for the lounging, reading, knitting and pool dips that fill our summer days. We’ll be enjoying our wonderful Austin as much as the heat allows us except for an escape to the beach at the very end of […]
MoreI don’t know what is up with me in the kitchen. A few nights ago it was horchata. Before that muffins. And tonight? Tonight, I made watermelon popsicles. They were really delicious but world’s away from what the fam really needed – dinner. I need to do something semi-drastic to knock me out of this […]
MoreMy days of winging it are beginning to wear on our stomachs and pocketbook so something must change. Also of note is that my husband is now working from home full-time and I really need to start accounting for what will be eaten, AT HOME, for lunch so that I have enough food around for […]
MoreWe are finally back home! It’ll come as no surprise that I don’t really have a plan to get us through the rest of the week. I’ll be heading out to the grocery store a little bit later to make sure we have bare essentials. I’m thinking it’ll be a couple of days of rice […]
MoreIs anyone else as relieved as I am to finally be getting April behind us? I’m looking forward to May and the “coast through to summer” mode that takes over – lazy afternoon’s at home, quick dips at Stacy Pool, kite flying and books. Only thing that we have going on this week beyond school […]
MoreI ate a salad for dinner tonight with mixed greens from our @JBGorganic CSA box. I’m not sure what came over me, but all of a sudden I was really struck by how fortunate we are to know exactly where our salads were this morning. Like, how amazing is that?! I relished every bite and […]
MoreWe’ve got a really busy week ahead of us and some unexpected hiccups that mean my husband will be out of town for a few days. My daughter and I do lots of snackage and quick meals involving noodles when he’s not here. It’s easy enough to wing and the last thing I want deal […]
MoreReal quick post to report my CSA box contents: carrots, bok choy, kale, chard, escarole, salad mix, lettuce, scallions, beets, spinach, radishes, dandelion greens We are definitely having some big salads this weekend. May have to do a post on our current favorite – taco salads.
MoreIt has cooled down significantly over the past couple of days and I think the trend will continue for the greater part of next week. Cooler weather at this time of year [in South Central Texas] is rare so I’ve been gazing out the window in the morning and daydreaming about San Francisco. Sigh. Once […]
