Egg Noodles with Broccoli and Bell Peppers, Sauteed Savoy Cabbage

I felt good tonight - meaning I was upbeat, in good spirits, and didn't feel unmotivated to cook. Perhaps it was having a semi decent workout or just a better day at work, either way, I came home eager to cook. This time I even had some help in the kitchen, which definitely sped up cooking process. All in all, with a little help, we had dinner on the table in just 1 hour, from start to end. We ate this over some good conversations over the dinner table. Good times!

Egg Noodles with Broccoli and Bell Peppers Recipe
You can use pretty much any vegetables you have on hand. The seasoning in the recipe (soy sauce, sugar, chili sauce, rice vinegar) makes this pretty tasty.


Sauteed Savoy Cabbage Recipe
I used half a head of a large savoy cabbage and still had plenty of leftovers served as a sidedish.

CSA Box Week 8

Corn and tomatoes are here! I have been waiting for this day! I think I may have gone overboard with ordering two batches of corn, but that's ok - the more the marrier! Here's in my week 8 food box:

Here are the dishes I made from these veggies:

Caulflower curry (aloo gobi)	Red cabbage salad
Egg and Corn Soup	Corn Fritters
Penne pasta with Broccoli Pesto	Apple Rhubarb Crumble

Salads Galore!

I didn't intend to make a dinner full of salads but it just happened to come out that way! It was a great way to clear a lot of veggies I had in the frig. Can you say salad buffet? I guess you can call it summer cleaning. It's great for a hot summer evening to cool you off after a warm day out.

Here was my dinner - Roasted Beets Salad, Broccoli Mix Salad with dressing, and Lettuce Salad.

The broccoli salad was delicious! The combination of broccoli sprinkled with some gala apples, crisy shallots, and red onions topped with the almond butter-based salad dressing was actually quite filling and flavorful. I didn't have any walnuts on hand (the recipe had called for it) but it was still great. Next time I will definitely need to add it to the mix! Here's the close up of the salad. Yummm! :)
