I set two goals as I planned this week's menu: 1)use up a hug bucket of chickpeas that I soaked and cooked last weekend, and 2)incorporate the sad looking cauliflower*** at the bottom of the veggie drawer.
Sunday- I decided I better tackle these goals TODAY with some Sunday soup making that will provide for a couple meals later in the week.
Soup 1: Syrian Chickpea Soup with Lemon and Tahini from New England Soup Factory Cookbook
Soup 2: Cauliflower Soup with aged cheddar and mustard croutons from Super Natural Every Day
Monday-Stir fry vegetables with tofu
Tuesday- Leftover soup!
Wednesday-Early Valentine's Day date night at Al Vento, one of our favorite Italian spots in the city. Last year, we ordered something like a 1/2 quart of wine to share and the server brought us a full quart. Needless to say, that will not be happening this year! :) The olive oil for bread dipping is perfect at this little corner restaurant.
Thursday-My parents come to town! I plan on having leftover soup and crusty bread on hand. Although I may need to switch this Friday's meal if we're getting bored with leftovers around here.
Friday-Homemade pizzas with fixin's.
***Cauliflower was too sad; I had to buy a new one (but I used it immediately!).
