update-ish

everything in the fridge salad

so we got busy and the big cook faltered. gohan is still big cookin on the west coast but i can't seem to pull my weekend together. though i am meal planning which is saving a ton of time and money. anyway, the site will start back up slowly with us posting some of our favorite recipes or plans! so, hi again!

above is an "everything in the fridge salad" i threw together for lunch the other day. this one included romaine, cukes, green pepper, left over brown rice, the last two pieces of sliced chicken breast, and three little mushrooms that i sauteed with olive oil and rosemary. yum.

let's start adding recipes

god bless my chestnut farmsmeat share for making the best sausage on this earth! it helped me throw together a fantastic dinner in minutes while also playing race car with the bean, wearing the pea, and chatting with gohan.

pine nuts
shallot
red pepper
baby spinach
italian sausage
olive oil
white wine
chicken broth

pasta

grated parm

first i toasted the pine nuts on a cookie sheet in the oven and set them aside. then i browned the sausage and broke it up into little bits and set it aside. i sauteed the shallot and red pepper in some olive oil. then i cooked them in some white whine. added the spinach and let it wilt. threw the sausage back in the pan and added some broth.

meanwhile i boiled the water and cooked my pasta (i used whole wheat egg noodles).

put the pasta in a bowl, topped it with the sausage/spinach sauce, sprinkled on a generous handful of pine nuts and a bit of cheese.

we both went back for seconds.
