Groceries from Eat More Produce=Menu Plan Monday

Submitted by Amanda on

We got in at midnight last night from a 48 hour trip to Louisiana. My grandfather's baby sister passed away unexpectedly last week, and although it was nice seeing family I rarely see, I have been quite upset over the situation.

Luckily, I have little time to focus on sadness. This is finals week for the class I'm teaching. Plus, I have a special request series for EatLikeaRabbit.net that needs work to be posted next week. Then, there's Nora's swimming lessons and our little mommy-group holiday get together.

Fazoli's Marinara on Spaghetti

Fazoli's Spaghetti and Marinara

Two Tuesdays ago, I had a church television recording to attend at which food is provided, but since I couldn't be sure I could get down whatever was being served, I stopped at one of two dining options on my way to the church. At the time Taco Bell didn't top the list; so, I chose Fazoli's. This was actually very odd for me because I hadn't eaten there in at least four years as the last time I ate there for a work party I had gotten sick.

Dinner Menu June 22-26

Organic Bananas

Currently, we are all feeling a little sick to our stomachs--even my dad, and he's only eaten one meal with us in the last week (but we all got sick before today). Anyway, the last thing I want to think about right now is what I want to eat this coming week. Still, it will make me a much happier camper if I can just have something lined up. I'll type rather quickly and go distract myself by something other than food after this. Much of our ickyness is likely chalked up to the extreme heat and walking around a poorly air conditioned science museum with little water breaks all afternoon.

Chinese New Year Dinner

Recipe to Make Stir Fry

  • 2 large toes garlic, coarsly chopped
  • 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli
  • 2 oz. De Boles (organic) spaghetti style pasta (only because that is what was opened)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1/8 (or less) teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 Tablespoons Pad Thai Sauce from Moosewood Cooks at Home
  • Olive oil to cover bottom of a skillet

Boil pasta according to pasta directions. I do not salt the pasta because there is so much salt in the soy sauce. Meanwhile, cover a large skillet with oil. Turn the skillet on medium and add the onions. Microwave broccoli and sugar snap peas 1:30 minutes to defrost. Add carrots and garlic to the onions when they are softened. Add broccoli and peas until warm. Drain pasta and add it to the vegetables. Pour the Moosewood recipe mixture (lime, ketchup, and soy sauce) over the vegetables and pasta. Stir in sauce and two pinches fresh crushed red pepper. Serve hot.

Meal Cost Per Person: 

1.75

Pad Thai

Spicy Peanut Pasta

This was a fantastic recipe found in "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home". I used a package of regular Italian spaghetti left over from another adventure, and the entire meal took two pots and one measuring cup for mixing the sauce. I did add a variety of vegetables to ensure a well-rounded meal. Paul was concerned about the spices I added saying they fought with each other. There was crushed red pepper added in the skillet. i topped the dish with a bit of chili powder, and the peanuts were salted and peppered. My mouth was on fire for a few hours, but I like it hot.
