Ah. With this dish I finally used up the bottle of clam juice that had been claiming important real estate in my pantry! I'd had it for a while, I think it was buy one get one or something, so I had this extra one with nothing to use it on. I saw a recipe in Health magazine that called for a bottle of clam juice. Perfect! It also had shrimp and peas over angel hair pasta. It was ok, though I am a big fan of peas so I added way too many. And I let the sauce simmer too long, without the cover and lost a lot to evaporation. But it was still yummy!
Chickpea stuffed peppers! I forget where I saw the recipe... It was one of those things, ya know, peppers were on sale so I figured I would stuff them with something. The recipe called for black eyed peas, but having none on hand, this is what I ended up with. I'm pretty embarrassed to admit that I made these three days ago and I have no idea what I put in them! Onion probably. And I think that was parsley on there. Wow. Usually my memory is not this bad! I think I should update more often for the sake of my poor memory!
Salad! I saw my store had a deal going on, buy two bagged salads and get a salad accent thingie free! So I did. I was buying bagged salad for my husband, anyway. It's pretty neat. The package came with walnuts, dried cranberries and some shredded cheese. I added some tomatoes and viola! Couldn't have been easier, really.
Meh. Broccoli and spinach quiche. My husband has brought it to my attention that we have scads of frozen broccoli. Why? I have no idea, I'm not a fan. But I am always up for a challenge, so here I paired it with a spinach favorite and mixed it up with some eggs and cheddar. I topped it with tomato wedges for color and added spices, too. It was alright, but just "meh". I should perhaps also mention I am not a big fan of quiche either. Yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking making this ;)
Ah. Indonesian Carrot Soup from one of my favorite cookbooks; New England Soup Factory. Pureed carrots with coconut milk and ginger. So yummy. Here I added a bit of cilantro and floated some croutons. I will definitely be making this one again.
It's been a while since I've updated my blog, I was trying my hardest to remember what this was!! Salmon for sure. I think I topped it with ceasar dressing and then some panko and basil. I know I've done it before, but it was a request from my husband who likes this dish sans panko.
