Week 10

It's going to be a Moosewood week at Mi Casa, mis amigos. Moosewood's Low-fat cookbook, to be exact, it is veg (though there is a section for fish) and full of good things to eat. I don't always follow the low-fat part though, I sneak some butter and such, since I like a bit of fat to mingle with my already-there fat.

Okay, so here goes:

Cold Beet and Buttermilk Soup (p. 79 of Moosewood [MW]) with a Grapefruit, Avocado, and Spinach Salad (p. 135 - MW) - I think the Hubsy will hate this, but I've gotta get the beet-love going on.

Beef Stew and whole wheat bread - the weather is just right for such a moody food.

Salmon and Lentils - from this month's Real Simple

Penne with Walnut Sauce (p. 213 - MW) and roasted butternut squash on the side

Couscous with kale

Beans with Sage (p. 168 - MW) - for some lunchy lunch.

Corn Chowder - a la Costco - with whole wheat bread.

And so it is.

Oh, and T-day update - the brined turkey was awesome!! I highly recommend Lawson's book - Feast. I liked the brussel sprouts as well. I think I am the only one who liked the cranberry, orange cornbread stuffing. Oh, well, more for me. My hubsy thought it was too tart, but he is a bit of a baby that way. I think I will continue the brining for next T-day - funny enough, this was the year of the double-brined bird, as I picked-up an already brined turkey at Trader Joe's. So I say, double-brined=double delicous.
