    Really easy to make and one of my favorite low cal meals. I made an exchange because I couldn't find frozen artichokes.... I used 2 cans of artichokes in water, drained and cut up. Also I added more mozzarella cheese with putting about a cup in between two layers of the sauce mix, then another cup on top. A great meal, that freezes into individual containers and reheats well for work day lunches. Under 300 calories too! Just enough pasta and meat to feel like you're having a rich pasta meal for hardly any calories and packed with protien from the spinach and artichokes. Enjoy!

    I just took a galette in the oven. Per usual, I didn't make the recipe as called for. I didn't add the feta and eggs because I don't like either of those. I also didn't freeze the galette prior to putting it in the oven.

    We'll see how it works out. I've had to keep a very close eye on it and ended up tenting it with foil half an hour into the 50 minutes of baking. It's resting right now and it looks like the bottom isn't burnt which is a good sign.

    Interesting! Looks like Greek spinach pie, but in a pizza crust instead of filo dough. I don’t quite understand how you can make it without eggs though; doesn’t that hold the filling together?

    A simple turkey, celery and carrot stir fry to try out the new carbon wok the hubby tempered yesterday. Not sure if I prefer it to my non stick stone wok that I don't dare take to the highest temperature.

    Kind of, but also with chickpeas. It definitely held together without the egg, though I'm wishing I had only used spinach instead of chard and spinach. The filling itself isn't especially loose. Think of something like a butternut squash galette. I've made that recipe a number of times without the cheese (though I can deal with fontina) and the filling has no issues.

    I think where you would have trouble with a similar filling out is if you used the filling without the eggs to make something like maultaschen without crimping the edges all the way around (the way I make it/have had it involves the two cut ends not being crimped). In that case the dumplings are boiled and frankly I was a bit sceptical at first about the filling not falling out in the process of boiling but was pleasantly surprised.

    Been traveling - last week was up in Ottawa, with yesterday driving home to NJ. So today seemed right for a south-of-the-border meal, "6th of May." Turkey enchiladas, yellow rice, black bean salad.

    Last night I made fish tacos (soft corn shells, 3 fish sticks per shell, broccoli slaw and a homemade "bang bang" sauce) with roasted sweet potato fries.

    Polenta With Wild Mushrooms and Marinara Sauce (yes - I love the NYTimes' cooking recipe content). In this case the wild mushrooms were mostly not wild cremini mushrooms, but that was only to round out the half a pound of morels that I bought at farmers market on Saturday. The thyme and rosemary came from the garden. Because of my general hatred of cheese, I just made plain polenta in the rice cooker. Yes parmesan is one of the few cheeses I do like, but I really don't like it or any other cheese in polenta.

    I also made chimichurri with green garlic which ended up topping some roasted asparagus. The green garlic was also from farmers market and I should have picked up some asparagus there as well, but I forgot to and got it at the grocery store with the creminis.

    I made a copy version of Olive Garden's zuppa toscana soup. (Italian sausage, sliced potatoes, kale) + sandwiches.

    Miso roast carrots, mongolian beef with snow peas, rice. Part of the program of testing out the new carbon steel wok that hubby tempered on the weekend. Still not sure if I prefer my stone coated non stick wok that I don't dare take to extremely high temperatures on the biggest gas hob for fear of damaging the non stick coating.

    Tonight I did my standard gift for new parents--friends who recently had a second child. An afternoonn of batch cooking a bunch of freezer meals. Their freezer is now full of Umbrian chicken cacciatore. Also some frozen bitterballen for finishing in the air fryer. These are dutch croquettes made from cold congealed stew, which are liquid when you bite into a warm one. They are a typical bar snack in Holland. Normally they would be cooked in the deep fat fryer but the air fryer makes easy work of cooking them.

    Hot links with hot mustard and sauerkraut, veggie baked beans, and purified water. Can't be vegan all the time.

    I roasted a pork loin the other night and made mashed potatoes, green beans and macaroni salad to go with.

    Marinated chicken in balsamic/olive oil/garlic/Italian seasonings and grilled it, cooked up some white rice, made pesto to top the chicken and added goat cheese. Had an arugula salad with avocado on the side!

    Baby corn got the Cambodian Pot Ang treatment (dipped in a marinade of coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar and green onion) as a starter. Then a Thai Lon adapting a David Thompson recipe calling for lightly home cured salmon with Spanish lomo de bonito (a wet cured tuna loin). I like those Thai meals consisting of a warm dipping sauce for raw veg. I make rice for the hubby but don't miss it when I skip that for myself.

    Khao man gai. The chicken was great and I managed to figure out a sauce I like for the first time. For better or worse I used table salt instead of sea salt so the broth was too salty which meant I subbed a cup of water for some of the broth. That said, the rice didn't turn out very well (too much liquid) but it's eatable. Also the chicken definitely did not suffer from the overly salty broth - it's shockingly good.

    Faloodeh. Not exactly a meal. It is not the usual color because I added a little unsweetened cranberry juice seeing as I didn't have enough lemons and limes in the house.

    Baked apples for breakfast. Stuffed with an oatmeal, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon mixture. And by, "mixture" I mean layers of those ingredients.

    Instant pot soft boiled eggs (two minutes pressure cook then quick release, into an ice bath, shelled and eat! Perfect gooey yolks with fully set whites every time) and some lovely fresh strawberries. It was a really nice start to the day.

    Baked salmon with dill, roasted sweet potatoes and green beans. I always make extra for lunch so kills 2 birds with one stone.
