cooking together makes a comeback | menu – may 24
Last night, after what we seems like months, the whole family got into the kitchen and prepared a meal together. We had yummy Spaghetti in Pesto and beautiful Salads with Feta and Strawberry Vinaigrette. Yay! We’ve promised to set aside time to cook at least one meal as a family every week and, if the […]
Morewinging it | no menu for week of may 3
I’m gonna wing it this week. There are some stray veggies and greens in the fridge, leftover beans and soup and a fair amount of produce left. Fridge contents are as follows: leftover lentil soup black beans leftover red sauce boiled yukon gold potatoes mixed lettuce brussel sprouts red peppers spring onions yellow onions carrots […]
Moreslowing down | menu for week of april 26
I woke up over the weekend in our new bed at our new place and realized that I hadn’t really had a good night’s sleep for weeks (and possibly months). The busy and the stress seeped into everything and I think we’ve all been running blind and fast for too long now. It has affected […]
Moremoving the kitchen down south
Good news: I shall have a larger kitchen and a gigantic walk in pantry. Bad news: We are two and a half weeks from our move date and I have ONE box packed. ONE. I put it off for as long as I possibly could without losing my mind (entirely), but the reality and procrastination […]

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 […]

We got Brussel sprout greens, spinach, broccoli, green garlic, scallions, lettuce, parsley, turnips, cabbage, oranges & grapefruits (already put away) and hordes of carrots. […]

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. […]
Moreweek’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 […]
