for dinner this week
It has been nearly two weeks since I last planned a week’s worth of food. We had so much leftover food that last week was a bunch of leftovers and creative re-dos. I’m gonna keep it lighter. This week’s menu is a quick and easy one: Mixed Vegetables over Greens with Mustard Vinaigrette Chana Masala […]

Moreit’s my birthday and i’ll cook if i want to!
I’m not usually “allowed” to cook on my birthday and although most would be psyched to have a day’s break, I have to admit, that it would be nice to dive in there right now and try out my new gift with a batch of homemade tortillas. Granola? Muffins? It all sounds sooooo yummy, but […]

food plan – week of jan 11
Our food routine has been thrown to the wind as of late last week. One day after our CSA pick-up, the hubby had to jump on a flight and we were left with a mountain of uncooked produce, one man out. It also happens that he’s the one with the largest appetite in the house. […]

this week’s CSA score
We are so psyched to be back at our CSA. We started last spring and fell in love with Johnson’s Backyard Garden. Our local, organic produce was beautiful, bountiful, and when picked up every other week, the perfect amount of produce for our small vegetarian family of three. We took a break for six months […]

week’s worth of food
Things are a little different, but other than having more “snack food” on hand for the bottomless pits that the folks in these parts call stomachs and a few more of the girl’s meals (marked by * below), it’ll be regular fare. No fancy special meal for the christmas eve or christmas. We will plan […]
Morebusy weekend ahead
I’ve been sick for a few days and finally have my energy back so off to the kitchen I go! We have some other stuff (very belated gift shopping, food deliveries, birthday parties, and maybe a basketball game) this weekend so I spent the greater portion of tonight getting some basic ingredients ready. I chopped […]
