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 […]
MoreI had a busy afternoon after our CSA pickup so please forgive the late inventory. All the produce is washed, packed and ready to head into its home in the fridge. We got Brussel sprout greens, spinach, broccoli, green garlic, scallions, lettuce, parsley, turnips, cabbage, oranges & grapefruits (already put away) and hordes of carrots. […]
MoreHi all. Just a quick post to let ya’ll know what I got this week. We were delighted to find so much fruit (citrus!!!) in our box and have been tearing through that and all the lettuce like there is no tomorrow. Here’s the complete low-down on our box: Carrots Tangerines Oranges Grapefruit Beets Lettuce […]
MoreI’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 […]
MoreOur 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. […]
MoreWe 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 […]
MoreWe marked our first meatless year with a family, green-faced gag as we walked past the seafood section (and all it’s fishy uckness) at the downtown whole foods. Even the girl was pinching her nose and walking at a rapid-fire pace. And with that we know that we’ve done it! The entire family has been […]
MoreThings 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 […]
MoreI’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 […]
Moreso i REALLY need to come up with a better food plan for sick days. we ended up eating crap yesterday – drive thru burgers and fries. they were veggie burgers and canola oil fried potatoes so… it was veggie crap, but nonetheles crap. and crap? well its just not what my body needed or […]
Moreso i had been doing really well with my weekly menus. really, really well. and now, i’m back to planning a meal at a time and having trouble thinking farther out than breakfast tomorrow. with that said, my plan so far includes classic veggie sandwiches and more mixed green salads with the pomegranate from yesterday, […]
Morei’ve decided to start writing a bit about my adventures in and out of the kitchen with a dab here and there of food-related stuff, kid stuff and … we’ll just have to see what else rears its head. needless to say that there will be bits of “me stuff” in the mix. let’s have […]
