This was one of those “let’s see if this works!” meals that just… worked! So, so good: toasted up some English muffins, topped with a white bean/tomato/arugula pesto salad, then melted on slices of sharp cheddar. Crazy delicious — can’t wait to make it again soon!!

White bean picatta! Canellini beans simmered in a buttery, lemony, white winey, capery sauce. I could drink that sauce it’s so good — YUM.

Thursday, May 14: Chickpea Shawarmas with Fries

Roasted up some potato wedges and chickpeas (both tossed with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano), made a tzatziki sauce (creme fraiche since I was out of yogurt, plus fresh dill, shredded cucumber, garlic, and lemon), and halved a bunch of sweet lil grape tomatoes. Stuffed the chickpeas, tomatoes, and tzatziki in the softest pita, and served the fries on the side. SO good!!!

Vegetarian burrito bowls for dinner! This meal was SO GOOD: Mexican farro (farro cooked with onion, garlic, spices, tomato, and chicken broth — plus corn, peas, and carrot), saucy beans (black beans cooked with onion, bell pepper, hatch chiles, garlic, spices, and tomato — plus cheese melted in), and spicy roasted cauliflower… all drizzled with spicy mayo sauce.

It was suddenly after 6 pm and I was STARVING, so I turned to my favorite super-fast, super-delicious dinner: chickpeas, zucchini, pesto, marscapone, and lemon (plus a few handfuls of spinach). I love it as a stew, and Matt loves it with tortillas for tacos!

This has become a true once-a-week dinner for us — we love it SO MUCH: quesdadillas stuffed with buffalo sauce-tossed roasted cauliflower, white beans, and cheddar (plus ranch for dipping). The filling is so good we literally eat it with a spoon as we wait for the first batch of quesadillas to cook!

I grew up eating (and LOVING) a lentil marinara sauce that we’d have with pasta. Tonight I made a version (adding in carrots, mushrooms, thyme, and red wine) that I ladled over super creamy marscapone-parm mashed potatoes. A lentil sauce that reminds me of my childhood + mashed potatoes = the ultimate comfort food!

I’m reviving this dish, which I made COUNTLESS times this past summer and am still apparently obsessed with (finished the whole pan in one sitting). It’s super simple but has incredible flavor, and is healthy to boot. I chose to eat it with a spoon as a kind of stew, but Matt spooned some into tortillas and loved it that way.

Soup night! Made a riff on Bon Appetit’s Brothy Pasta and Chickpeas and LOVED it — in fact, I ate way too much and had to lay on the couch for two hours because I was so full. It’s a super simple recipe but the minimal ingredients create such a flavorful, filling meal.
