Menu: New Routine

Trying to get a new routine going since we now don’t get any notice on what our CSA contains until the day I go pick it up (that’s today – Tuesday).

Meaning menus have to revolve around that and we have to adjust our shopping trip to Tuesday also (instead of Thursday). Lots of change but hopefully we’ll be able to adapt fairly quickly. Continue reading →

Recipe: Piroshki

I first had piroshki at Pike Place Market at the aptly named Piroshki Piroshki and they were delicious so I’ve tried my hand at making them. Make sure all your inside bits are nicely chopped before you start it’ll speed up the cooking and cook more evenly as well.

Menu: Back to Friday

I guess I’m going back to Friday menus for this week. I also have a few new recipes up my sleeve this week! Because we waited SO LONG to go shopping that our fridge contains:
1 onion
1/2 tub sour cream
1 open jar red curry
1 open tube of tomato paste
3 sticks butter
and of course
1 stick of lemongrass (been there for a while…)

Our freezer is a little heartier:
3lbs chicken breasts
2 lbs shrimp
1/2 lb spinach
1 baggie of fennel (chopped)
3 baggies of herbs (basil/parsley/cilantro)

So in all not that much food going to happen from there even though with those meats I could squeeze a few extra meaty meals from it.

On to the menu: Continue reading →

Recipe: Basic Cinnamon Rolls

I love cinnamon rolls plain but you can frost these babies too. I used a basic butter butter cream but you can frost with cream cheese if you’re feeling that instead. This is a great recipe which actually takes about 15 active minutes of doing anything, it’s a lot of waiting but of course when you come out with soft, gooey cinnamon rolls it’s worth the wait!

Recipe: Chicken and Rice Soup

This recipe requires very little effort aside from some chopping which can pretty much be done at the same time. Very delicious too, we ate half for dinner and then half for lunch the next day.

This is my first new recipe since January which is nice and embarrassing on my part but at least I got off the ground right? This soup is an interesting twist on an old favorite. It’s hearty and warm. Pictures are thanks to my new phone which is also a camera making it easier to share images quickly!

I haven’t been baking much thanks to some grueling hours at work and very exciting weeks during the holiday season but I do have a menu plan for this week that I intend to attempt to stick to as well as a nice homey recipe that’s perfect for a quick wintertime dinner.
