getting my food stuff in order
Possible meals for the next few days:
Roasted beet and spinach salad, stuffed mushrooms
Enchiladas verdes
Veg sloppy joes, oven fries (or broccoli?)
Snacky appetizer night: roasted chickpeas, sweet and sour "meat"balls, cream cheese rangoon, carrot salad
Some kind of pasta (maybe stir-fry, to use up extra veggies?)
Also, if I have the energy later tonight, I'm gonna roast up some slices of zucchini to use in sandwiches for the next few days. I'm in a super sandwich mood.
So if I do the roasted beet salad and the roasted chickpeas, those will be two new recipes for this year; even tho I've planned to make both before, I never got around to it. Also, I'm planning on trying a new recipe for stuffed mushrooms, so I think that should count, too. I'll let you know how that goes and how they compare to my mom's stuffed mushroom recipe.
Speaking of new recipes: NEW RECIPES 2009: MUSHROOM RAGOUT WITH POACHED EGGS. From Kitchen Wench's recipe, here. This was actually two new recipes from me, b/c believe it or not, I'd never poached an egg before.
For the ragout recipe, I omitted the bacon. Also, b/c I only had button mushrooms, and not enough of them (there was an issue with my shitakes), I added in some kidney beans. This was a mistake: the beans overpowered the other flavors. But the earthy mushroom and red wine combination was really good. As were the poached eggs! I love that now that I'm back in SA I can find pasteurized eggs again, so I can enjoy runny yolks without worrying about salmonella.
Wow, typing this tired me out. I better get to roasting those beets before I decide to nap instead.
