a Sunday of comfort food








poached eggs, greens, and fried potato slices for breakfast,
homemade baked mac n cheese (thanks, Martha) and zucchini chips for dinner. It is best if you stay in your pjs. Because it is Sunday, and because the mac will make your regular clothes too small to wear.

lemon tuna bowties with kale



Get:
-canned (quality) tuna, marinated in fresh lemon juice and a little bit of white wine vinegar
-bowtie pasta
-whatever veggies you want! I like peas and kale.

Then, mix and enjoy! Trust me, you will.

veggie tacos!




roast sliced peppers and onions and whatever else you want in the oven with some olive oil and a little sea salt. Put them on corn tortillas with black beans and cabbage and corn and whatever else you want. These are really good with some avocado. Top with shredded cheese and sour cream. I wish we would have put some corn in them, but oh well. Muy bien.

mediterranean chicken




This is a version of the recipe for "Mediterranean Chicken" my mother-in-law gave us. It's gooood!

all you need--
-cooked orzo (we subbed spellini cos it's cute, but it actually had a better texture with orzo)
-crumbled feta
-cooked spinach or kale, roasted red peppers (cut julienne style), mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, garlic/ whatever veggies you want to throw in, cooked in olive oil until tender


*mix them all together, and in a separate bowl combine the dressing:

-1/2 cup lemon juice (or so)
-2 tbs white wine vinegar (or so)

with slowly whisked-in
-1/2 cup evoo
-handful of fresh oregano



*shred some chicken or cooked tofu chunks, add, and toss in with the dressing! viola! If you use a whole package of orzo, this will feed about 4!
