The Meal Plan 03.09.14




It's rice week.  My eyes are on the elephants.  A couple of weeks ago I bought this twenty-five pound bag of rice on a whim after I saw it in the cart of a friend walking down the rice isle.  I was always buying these puny little bags of rice and running out, mostly because I once cooked old rice and I payed for it.  Rice does go bad.  Not this time.  Now I'm even measuring with my fingers when i cook it.   Gone are the 2:1 days.  Up to the knuckle or just below for 1 cup of dry rice -this tip from the same friend who sold me on the bag of rice.  

Monday:  Sweet Potato Blintzes.  Already in the works so there's no looking back.  
Tuesday:  Curried Split Peas over rice.  
Wednesday:  Otsu  My new recipe to try.  Thank you, KM!
Thursday: Gnocchi.  Rest night.  
Friday:  Shrimp Fried Rice.  BA March 2013.  If I can't get shrimp, I'll just use the sauce and substitute some veggies or chicken.

What about you?

  3. This is such a great series Melissa, I love it. Did I tell you you inspire me to try a new lentil soup recipe? I only recently became a lentil fan and didn't have a good go to soup recipe, but your including regularly sounded so homey and warm!
