I kinda get the picture that people don't really know how to cook. I have read that the cure for childhood obesity isn't gym class but home economics class.
Nor do people really know what to eat, especially not involving meat. When I am in conversation with people it comes up that we don't eat really alot of dead animals but at the time I can never really convey what we eat, so I thought I might just blog about it.
Anyways, here is dinner tonight.
Main Course
It was 5:15 before I even thought about dinner sooo it was a quirky thrown together from fridge contents.
$5 for 500g spinach and cheese ravioli
'Sause'
-CSA onion
-CSA spinach
-50% off red pepper for a minor blemish
-75% mushroom cause they looked slightly off
Saute with olive oil and white wine vinegar. Would have used real white wine but I didn't have any.
Muffins
From The Loonyspoon Cookbook gifted by Robi. Page 287 -Pumpkin Spice Muffins
1 1/4c flour
1/2 Whole wheat flour ( I used a bit of spelt, white, and coconut to make 1 3/4c total)
2 t pumpkin pie spice ( I used a little of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger)
1 1/2t baking powder
1t soda
1/2t salt
1c pumpkin ( We had cooked squash on hand so we used that)
1/2c yogurt
1/2c maple syrup
1/4c melted butter
1 egg
1t vanilla
1c grated carrots
1/2c mini chocolate chips ( We had some high quality chocolate orange chocolate that Maya was desperate to use)
1/2c walnuts ( Used those or pecans)
I haven't eaten a dead animal for a year now. I eat lots of great food though. A ton of Indian dishes cooked by my wonderful husband:)
ReplyDeleteThis is the muffin recipe I like to use, it is not really a recipe, but you just throw in whatever you have that needs used up.
ReplyDeleteI made some muffins tonight and used some raisin bran that was about to go stale, some leftover rice, the remains of a yogurt container, craisins and the rest of the blueberries that were getting too mushy to eat on their own. They turned out delisious (can't spell)
