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 »

vegetarian meal plan – january 21, 2013
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 »

Check what you have before pulling a meal plan together. Repeat. It may seem like the most obvious of steps, but I can’t tell you how many times I skip the physical step of opening the fridge and then end up planning an entire meal around a spinach that there are only 5-skimpy leaves of. … Continue reading »
meal plan – july 14, 2012
Saturday is when I tend to have time to think through what to eat in the coming days and subsequent week. I bust out the vegetarian cookbooks, visit the downtown library stacks for inspiration and check out what is buried in my Evernote stash of bookmarked recipes.
