Come on girls. Give me your weekly menu. It is raining and I have the flu. I don't feel like planning myself so I am hoping to steal dinner ideas from you guys. Help a sick girl out.

    Shepherd's pie with brussel sprouts
    Stir-fried Napa cabbage with brown rice
    Colcannon (with kale instead of cabbage) with carrots

    and we'll see from there. I don't tend to make much of a menu plan. I just cook by working with what needs to be used up from our farm share.

    Our new fridge is getting delivered next week, and I don't want to go grocery shopping before it gets here, so this week's meals are all about using up what we already have in the house. We usually have some sort of salad to go with dinner.

    Pasta with vegetable marinara sauce
    Stir Fried Cabbage
    Egyptian Kusherie (spiced rice,lentil and caramelized onion dish) with flat bread
    Tostadas
    Sesame Noodles with spicy peanut sauce and whatever random veggies we have
    Potato Vindaloo with brown rice


    We have similar cooking styles! I'm stealing the potato vindaloo idea. What recipe are you using for that? I have so many potatoes right now.....

    Thanks! Hah, your list is all stuff I make regularly (or make something similar).

    That blogger said she based the recipe off of Yotam Ottolenghi's book "Plenty." I don't have that book but I have "Jerusalem" by the same author and I loooooove it! Totally recommended. (ETA: and it has a lentil-caramelized onion dish in it that sounds similar to the Kusherie)

    What are you doing with your cabbage specifically? I am blanching and then stir-frying with brown rice vinegar per Fuschia Dunlop.
