What I'm hoping to cook this week
MONDAY: Made extra shrimp paella on Sunday night, so we'll be having that on Monday -- the busiest day of the week, and the one in which I am least able to pull a meal together. I modified the recipe that Marc Murphy gave me for the book.
TUESDAY: If it continues acting like fall, split pea soup with carrots; rye bread, cheese, cucumbers, radishes. Might do another round of this insanely easy mostly-apple Apple pie, from my former People magazine colleague-turned-lifestyle blogger, Ulrica Wihlborg. Just one crust, no rolling pin, and loads of apples.
WEDNESDAY: The no-chicken rule still reigning at our house. How long can we hold out? Tonight: Gingery tofu stir-fry with broccoli, napa cabbage and rice. If your house is not on meat-strike, feel free to substitute a different protein. Here's a good, adaptable starter recipe from Cooking Light.
THURSDAY: Taco night. Grilled fish, pickled red onions, romaine lettuce, avocados, corn tortillas (no, I don't make them myself) and hot sauce for those who go that route.
FRIDAY: Movie night. Sauteed squid with loads of garlic, lemon, breadcrumbs over lemony spaghetti.
