SHEs Organized

still working with last weeks menu
I do have to use up the baking potatoes

last night dd older made jacques pepin's chicken with chimichurri- really tasty
and we had my terrine (which didn't look good bc it was 24 hours too late - it's supposed to be served 8 to 24 hours at most. but it tasted great.
I will use the left over with spaghetti squash - chop it up and add to spaghetti squash and heat... with some parmesan on the side for topping.

tonight I am hoping to make the lentil buckwheat layer thing
(new recipe)
but I will put a frittata together (with chorizo for dd older and dh) just in case - knowing dh and dd older - lentils and buck wheat won't make it

My dd younger is loving the video's with the women your recommended d harriet.

I have to get basil

And I have enough bananas to feed a neighbourhood.
I can't find mexican oregano in our area so when I am downtown I might stop at a specialty shop.

for Wednesday - I ended up with a headache and the family had jimmy johns

made buckwheat batter for tonight millefeuilles aux tomatoes et lentils (sounds fancy but is not) - but vegetarian
need something for dd older and dh that is meat - thinking of stopping at the local shop and get them a pre-made item.
https://cheergerm.com/2015/01/02/millef ... ady-crush/ - using canned lentils. I don't get the reason people cook these when it is so easy getting a tin or organic lentils
pulled parsnips and carrots - for roasting with herbs de provence


I struggled so with the buckwheat crepes - they turned out more like buckwheat pancakes - maybe not enough water???
I will watch some videos on crepe making. thinking that I might need to practice. also maybe making the buckwheat with a little white flour?
or use a buckwheat flour made for pastry???

also changing up the plain oil for drizzling and maybe use the dressing from lentil salad. I want to try this again.

bought chicken for dh/dd older to cook and put in freezer

I so easily go towards perfectionism sometimes - re: buckwheat crepes - like other dishes at times - I make the job too big because I want to do it perfectly (then I put it off).
It's okay not to have a fancy vegetarian meal - it can just be a salad. remember that.
when I do this I won't cook anything because I think I have to do that meal that night. It's not real.

tomorrow am:
make the banana bread/apple bread before heading out for d friends coffee time. dd younger did this
my kitchen is clean because I made the prep and majority of cooking this am.
dh/dd olders chicken is made and I will freeze the chicken breast individually.

dinner tomorrow: tsinmes page 157 ina garten cooking for jeffery (make when home from d friend)
two dips: cannellini bean dip (jacques pepin) and beet horseradish dip (jamie oliver) with raw veggies (prep when I come home)

dd/dh - ???? meat??? (thinking ham sandwiches with dijon - dh swiss - thin thin slice for dd older so it doesn't bother , sautéed onion (I can make that early) (I need Hawaiian rolls for this) (prep easy and put in oven when they want to eat).

the tsimmes was enjoyed by all - i don't like cinnamon so i put less in - and less on brown sugar as well
we have left overs we will use tonight - w my arm being in a sling i couldn't make the dip

tonight since its the oscars we will use the veggie and dips - deviled eggs and mini ham swiss, sautéed onion, dijon baked sandwiches

well thank you d harriet! I have been getting little giggles from dd younger and dh as they see me trying to fiddadle (spelling) through my day.

it's nice that you had company and what a nice way to make dinner - where everyone got to choose lovely

tonight i am making rachel rays crab fehttuchini - i like fish
but yesterday i tried eating the Salisbury steak - beef doesn't taste good anymore so i think i will continue my veggie journey but add fish once in awhile

tomorrow simple as cutting things hurts my arm
i have soup defrosting
