Cleaned out the recipe/market research drawer
Most of us have been eating pretty heavy over the holidays. So I've made dinners for the first full week of back to work/school purposefully lighter and included new recipes from the New Year's magazine purge.
Here's what we are eating this week. As a bonus, we are meatless TWICE. Not a lot of links yet, but will be posting the new recipes later this week.
Meatless Monday
Tofu Stir Fry.
I tried it awhile ago with mixed results (see link and ugly photo). The original recipe is a beef stir-fry. However, over our recent vacation, we drove through Coalinga, CA, location of the endless field of Definitely-NOT-Free-Range-and-Not-Very-Likely-Grass-Fed cows. Thus, we are eating tofu.

Almost Meatless Tuesday
Corn Chowder, Take 3. This time using the combination of my mother-in-law's, Tyler Florence and the Barefoot Contessa, all people with serious cooking chops.
Wednesday
Chicken with onions, red peppers and maybe the rest of the snap peas from Monday. With a guava-lime glaze, from a Bon Appetit magazine, circa 2000. The original recipe is for kebabs, but it's winter, so it'll be baked. Complemented by My Very Own Namasu and rice.
Thursday
Greek Tuna Pasta Salad. Pasta tossed with cukes, red peppers, red onions, feta cheese, tuna, kalamata olives, and a little red wine vinegar. Genius! I should have thought of this years ago.
Definitely Meatless Friday
Tomato Tart, using puff pastry and fresh tomatoes. Blah-blah winter tomatoes go rah-rah when roasted with their friends garlic, onions and parmesan cheese. This should be good.
Happy New Year. Looking forward a great year. Any good resolutions for 2013?
Eat Well. Be Well.
