Last week's hits and misses:
Vegetable Pot Pie: Sooooo good. This made excellent lunch leftovers. I may actually make this again one weekend just to have for lunches all week. YUM!
Rustic Cabbage Soup: We've made this before. It's a good soup for when you're feeling a little under the weather.
Garbanzo Burgers: These are really, really good. I like that she uses the "burgers" as the buns and sticks the toppings inside. We have half the recipe in the freezer for future meals.
Stuffed Peppers: Miss. Big miss. Of course, it doesn't help that we didn't have fresh ginger so Adam substituted ground, but I don't think we would have been a fan even if it had been prepared according to the recipe. We trashed it all and had leftovers.
We ended up postponing our supper club to next weekend, but we had some friends over for spaghetti and meatballs last night. Adam made his grandmother's meatball recipe, which got good reviews. (I, of course, can't comment on those.) I made the tomato sauce from Smitten Kitchen again, this time with some garlic cloves thrown in. I think the garlic was a good addition.
This week's menu:
Monday: Curried Tofu Scramble with Spinach and Crunchy Slaw Salad from Super Natural Cooking, and Lemon Blackberry Souffles from Baking Bites
- leftover tofu scramble will be lunch for Tuesday
Tuesday: Cauliflower Soup (Super Natural Cooking) and leftover Crunchy Slaw Salad
- soup for lunch on Friday (I've got a conference Wednesday and Thursday, so I won't be bringing lunch those days)
Wednesday: Tomatillo-Sauced Enchiladas with Spinach and Poblanos and Daikon Salad with Arugula and Lime-Cilantro Dressing
- Riffs on recipes from Mexican Everyday
Thursday: Thai-Spiced Tomato Soup and leftover Daikon Salad
- When this soup popped on The Kitchn the other day, I immediately knew I wanted to make it.
Do you have the recipe for the veggie pot pie? I just tried one and although it did work out well I realized I don't like terragon. Did yours have that?

Yum! Also, I love Mexican Everyday - everything I have attempted to make has been a winner. I really like how he provides "riffs" which is how I discovered that I can sub chicken breast for pork. I have expanded that riff into other cookbooks and the options are now endless. He literally gave new life to several of my dormant cookbooks.
