 Chipotle Style Bean Burritos I’m not deluding myself to think this is anything special or original. I’ve just promised to chronicle the journey and here we are, two weeks behind the calendar year (I should be on Meatless Monday Twenty Five. Twenty Six if you are counting tonight.) We’ve eaten those meals, mind you. I just haven’t written [...]  I’m too lazy to go look what number it is. I just replied to about a months worth of comments. I’ve been so buried here in soccer land I can’t even tell you. But here’s the great thing: it’s almost over! Yes, I do feel a little bad about saying that, but never-the-less, I am happy about [...] 
Three Cheese Griller with Veggie Salad This was a surprise Meatless Monday, because I didn’t even know I was doing it until I was almost done. Dave is out of town, kids are going three different ways. I’m on day four of refinishing my kitchen table in mid ninety degree heat… End of May = crazy times. Yesterday, inbetween [...] 
So, I had bookclub on Monday this week. Didn’t prepare ahead and have Meatless Monday on Sunday. Didn’t cook meatless for my family before I left. Didn’t do much of anything, really. Except have a rotten, horrible day. I can’t remember everything that happened, but Monday was bad, bad, bad. I was late to bookclub as usual, [...]  Steamy Kitchen’s Shrimp Fried Rice It’s another recipe from The Steamy Kitchen’s cookbook. But in the text, she credits Elise from SimplyRecipes.com for the recipe. It’s all so confusing! Either way, it was easy and delicious. I got a new rice cooker for Mother’s Day. An expensive Neuro Fuzzy to replace my very old $25 one. The old one [...]  Morel Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto If you haven’t read the Morel post from yesterday, please do. It gives background information necessary for truly understanding the nature of this very special Meatless Monday meal. No, I’m not talking about the asparagus, that I’m ready to plow under. I’m talking, of course, about the two-year wait for morels fresh from our [...]  Perfect fast lunch for a Meatless Monday Tastes better than fresh hollandaise, I swear. Cook a few spears of fresh asparagus in water like I show you in my first asparagus post. Gently fry (not like me with my huge freaking bubbles in the whites) one or two fresh eggs (rub the feathers off first) Put them together, break the yolks, [...]  Shrimp Pad Thai I’m over-the-moon about this recipe. [Now, if by chance, there were anyone under the age of 40 reading this post, I will have lost them with that first sentence. What kind of loser says "over the moon?"] But I am. Over the moon. I am giving all the credit to the recipe on Rouxbe.com. I know I [...]  Namaste. Indian again? That’s what he said. He being Charlie, who contends that he doesn’t know where I got the idea he loves Indian food. Truth is, I think if I keep telling him that he loves it, he’ll actually start believing me. Which would be convenient, since the rest of us are deeply, madly in love with it. Here’s [...] 
I made this “Make-Up” Meatless Monday last week with the kids while Dave was out of town. Somewhere along the way, I got a week behind. This one brought me back on track. It is Sunday night as I write this. We had THREE meatless mondays this week: Monday, Wednesday and tonight, since I will be [...] |
