Iron Chef!
« on: October 01, 2011, 09:32:21 PM »
Iron Chef-ing this week.  Trying to NOT go shopping...

We have frozen stuff, we also have:

eggplant (in garden)
chard (in garden)
squash-- acorn, spaghetti, zucchini and delicata (in garden)
basil (in garden)
bell peppers (in garden)

a sweet onion, half a bag of baby carrots,
some Polish sausages
Greek yogurt, some goat cheese,
and olive oil.


I also have some things like dry lentils and brown rice.  DH really can't eat rice, and I have no cooktop, so I can use either the microwave or the oven.  Or, I suppose, my crockpot or electric skillet.

But pasta is out, unless it's baked.

What to do... what to do...   




My plan--

Dinner = frozen green beans, Polish sausage done in electric skillet (with squash?  Maybe not-- the family is complaining about the squash).  We'll eat some whole wheat flatbread with it.


 :thumbsup:


Tomorrow...

Lentil soup with remaining sausage and baby carrots, done in the crockpot.

Cut polish sausage into rounds - but make them thick.  Place in a bowl with cubed onion, acorn squash, eggplant and bell peppers.  If you have potatoes, cube up a couple of those.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Bake @ 400 for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything caramelizes.  I'm planning to do something like this with kielbasa later this week.

I'm so doing that tonight.

 :yes:


Because my crockpot didn't get washed last night, oddly enough...   >:(

Well.


Still living without my cooktop.


I have just a bit of Polish Sausage... delicata squash, and a few carrots. 

Of course, I also have flatbread and other sandwish fixings, which is what I think we're having for dinner.
