Wow, guys. Is January officially the longest month of all time? I feel like we must be half way to 2021 by now! Are you ready for summer break, too?
There were leftover Costco chocolate muffins from a church thing and I took two home. Best. Decision. Ever. It’s moments like this that make me miss our membership. But then I remember the jam packed plastic section of the recycle bin following each trip and re-commit to keeping my waste down. Even if it means I lose the convenience of individually packaged lunch options.
I love the days when Kyle is home early enough to BBQ dinner. We had grilled teriyaki chicken skewers with rice and a veggie stir fry for dinner. It was as easy as could be.
Thanks to our CSA, I am making plenty of slaws. One thing I keep learning is that cabbage has the amazing ability to transform into a totally different dish with a new dressing.
This salad had quinoa, sunflower seeds, and cubed tofu tossed in Brianna’s poppyseed dressing.
Another day I did a soy miso thing with avo and cashews.
And then there was the tahini kale cabbage salad from a week ago.
Cabbage, cabbage, cabbage. Totally new each time!
My lunches have been full of leftovers, slightly reinvented with a Thai theme. I grabbed a bottle of Nugget market’s spicy sesame dressing this week which I massaged into some greens. From there I added whatever other leftovers I had to fill up the bowl – including teriyaki chicken, quinoa slaw, nuts, cilantro, etc.
Sometimes getting a CSA stresses me out, but sometimes it’s the kick in the butt I need.
And I know I haven’t mentioned it in a while, BUT…
Imperfect foods is consistently expanding and you can now order much more than produce…short coded items are offered at deep discounts just because they can’t sell them in stores for whatever random reason. Here is a $10 referral link for anyone who still hasn’t given it a try and wants to help reduce food waste (while still getting groceries delivered to your doorstep).
