Yesterday's odds and ends dinner

June 6th, 2014 at 09:12 pm

This week DH made a big pot of green sauce, so I've been using it to toss various veggies together.







I got together odds and ends of veggies in the fridge (a pack of swiss chard, a little brussel sprouts, a bell pepper, some onion, some azuki beans left over from the night before...) I sauteed the veggies, than mixed them into a pot with sauce and tofu. Than topped a bowl of them with 3 slices of rare fresh roast beef and a helping of fresh hummus with spicy s'hug sauce. End result:



It was quite tasty for a dinner made of odds and ends.
I am most proud that my 3 year old is eating ate brussel sprouts and swiss chard perfectly fine. Those are new veggies for him, so I was not sure how they will go over. He is such a good boy.

I packed the rest for DH to take as lunch. He was working overtime today (but he does not get paid time and a half, just his regular rate), so by taking his own lunch he didn't just save the cost of the lunch, he was able to work one more hour, and that will pay for a number of future lunches.

Today was less successful - between breakfast and lunch $28. (Co-worker had a birthday, so we all chipped in for a group lunch and a cake).

    If I take a picture of what's in my fridge, will you tell me what to cook for dinner? You have a real talent for creating and presenting food, and for photographing it. Getting a three year old to eat Brussels sprouts? That's an accomplishment!

    Thank you, but the photos are nothing more than 2-second point and shoot with my phone.

    My son ate swiss chard too. He calls it "leaf". I told him that's what dinosaurs eat.

    If you can do that with your phone, imagine what you could do with a quality camera. You should start a food blog about your home cooked meals and your favorite places in NYC. I'll bet with your descriptions and photographs you would develop quite a following. You might even be able to make some money on it.
