Comfort food for an overcast day - tuna casserole.
I do not have to work tomorrow so it feels like Friday! Dinner is pizza on homemade sourdough crust - plain cheese, turkey-roni, and mushrooms & peppers.
Enjoy your long weekend, Happy!Quote:

I made a honey, olive oil and fresh lime juice dressing, using the recipe from the harvest grain bowl I had discovered a few months ago. DH is deeply suspicious of quinoa (Are you sure this is edible? Couldn't we have Little Debbie snack cakes instead?), but he thought it was OK and I really liked it and would make it again. I made extra quinoa and froze it.
rr, that sounds like a wonderfully refreshing spring meal!
DH and I did a meal kit service for a while (Blue Apron): it was great in that in introduced us to things we had never heard of, never mind tasted (Quinoa is. mainstream to us vs farro). And somehow, even though we can't work together int he kitchen most of the time, we collaborated beautifully on making the meals. It was really a fun joint activity.Quote:

They are defiintely really delicious, and nutritious, so in principle, I like them. I saved some of the recipe cards so I could do them myself.
I think I mentioned a little while back that one of my kids briefly did Hello Fresh. While expensive, they did finally learn to cook and follow a recipe!
We were on a waiting list for a local CSA and they contacted us that we were IN! We got our first drop Thursday. Spinach, mixed salad greens, microgreens, pea shoots, bok choy, carrots. The quality is wonderful!
So we've had several nights of green bowls with beans and farro. Last night was spinach quiche. Tonight I'm braising the bok choy to accompany some pork chops. Maybe roast the carrots.
I'm thinking with all the veggies we now have to use "forcibly" maybe this will help me shed some of this Covid weight.
Sounds exactly like the age, quinoa distress and a freezer box or two of Little Debbie snack cakes.Quote:
