Japanese Garden @Golden Gate Park It's dark outside and our heat has finally kicked in. Fall in the Bay Area means it's cold enough for sweaters and boots. But no snow, sleet, ice or gloating allowed.
Here's what's cooking for the first week of Pacific Standard Time.
Meatless Monday
Black bean burgers with sriracha mayo. Another winning veggie burger from Cooking Light, which we adjusted and expedited. 1/2 a large onion, 3-4 cloves garlic and big handful of cilantro. I did measure the panko since this has do to with texture.
A very good weekday meatless dinner, though the portion is pretty skimpy. It makes exactly four patties. Best to double the recipe.
Tuesday
Chicken Tikka Masala, using bottled sauce as the base with add-ins
Wednesday
Furikake salmon, musubi and ung choy (or choy sum) with shoyu mirin sauce.
Meatless Thursday
What was supposed to be meatless Monday has been re-scheduled. Using the rest of the spinach from Monday to try out the Quinoa Salad with Maple Vinaigrette that I found on Pinterest. This is also a good site for gluten-free recipes.
Friday
PDQ Hot and Sour Soup. The perfect way to end the week.

Finger-lickin' good! Extras
Sweet and sour chicken leftovers from Sunday's dinner.
I made a LOT of chicken yesterday and these little guys are great for taking for lunch or after-school snacks.
Recycled croissant bread pudding.
This is just too good not to make again. Toss a few apples and maybe a touch of cinnamon in this time.
Have a great week!
