seasonal, vegetarian meal plans for a household of 3.
I had a pretty fantastic weekend. So great, that I even managed to set aside some time for meal planning. Trying out my mother’s day gift (an Evernote Moleskine) may have also been a motivating factor. A Moleskin all in its own is pretty darned fancy, but an Evernote Moleskine has the added bonus of … Continue reading »
We had to skip our CSA pickup this past weekend and I have not had time to hit one of the other local markets since, so the fresh veggie contingent in our house has been reduced to the handful of staples that are essential to a Mexican kitchen – tomatoes, onions, cilantro, potatoes, and chiles. … Continue reading »
Sorry for skipping my meal plan the past few weeks. I had a couple of weeks of throwing meal-planning caution to the wind and then my mama was in town (more on the food we cooked up coming soon) and then the dishwasher went on a downward spiral. Ay, ay, ay! Needless to say, that … Continue reading »
Strangely enough, it is on the quiet weeks that I find my cooking discipline wavering. I seem to want to cozy into the free hours that the calendar holds with a book and some tea and maybe a stash of yarn. So… this week is going to need a little more structure if there is … Continue reading »
I suppose it was only a matter of time before the sick from the outside world crept into the house, but this is not how we were hoping to kick off our spring break! Friday night’s aches, led to Saturday fevers and headaches for the 9yo. Ick. I am hoping that the worst of it … Continue reading »
I’m really digging my new approach to the fridge. It’s given me the structure I need to get what we have on hand eaten and enough freedom to take it a day or two at a time. Some of last week’s raw veggies have taken on cooked forms in this week’s Cooked/Prepared List – peppers … Continue reading »
I’ve been reading An Everlasting Meal by Tamara E. Adler the past couple of weeks and it was really nice to spend the weekend thinking about process instead of recipes. I focused on the veggies that came home from the market and went about washing, cooking and storing them right away. I cleared the fridge … Continue reading »
You may (or may not) have noticed that my meal plans have been absent the past couple of weeks. We’ve been on repeat for a couple of weeks as far as food goes and rather than cut and paste my plan from week’s past (roasted cabbage, tacos, noodles and broth, etc.) I figured it was … Continue reading »
Just last week I was going on and on (and on) about how much I LOVE the short winters here. Scarves and warming the house with the oven and boots and snuggling under warm blankets. Oh well… all I can hope for now is that the weather outside is short-lived because I am not ready … Continue reading »
I haven’t had to grab more than two bars (one for her and one for me) before leaving the house since forever ago and she goes back to school tomorrow. Yikes. Dinner shall be dictated by the lunches that I need to pack as there is not the usual stockpile of leftovers in the fridge … Continue reading »
