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!!

Zucchini parmesan for Sunday dinner tonight! I adapted a recipe from New York Times, making my own marinara sauce and adding a buuunch of mozzarella to each layer (you can never have too much cheese!). So delicious, especially piled on top of thick slices of bread spread with homemade arugula pesto.

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!!!

Toast of the Week, featuring some tasty spring-y things! Asparagus pesto, grape tomatoes, and jammy eggs. Messy, but delicious.

Toast of the week: broccoli melts! Thick slices of toast; a pile of garlicky, lemony, parm-y broccoli; and a cozy blanket of melted cheddar. Delicious!

I was craving samosas and was originally going to do something with frozen puff pastry dough… but realized using tortillas would be way easier! Made the filling with Yukon Gold potatoes, peas, onion, ginger, garlic, jalapeno, and spices, then stuffed it into whole wheat tortillas and grilled them up in a pan until crisp. Voila: delicious cheater samosas!

Ummm have I mentioned I love toast? :) This week’s version has leftover homemade arugula pesto (that I made for pesto farro), slow-roasted tomatoes, and melty mozz. So, so, so good. (So good, in fact, that we came dangerously close to finishing the entire loaf of bread.)

Tonight we tried out a flavorful spinach and sun-dried tomato pesto (original recipe here), which we spread on toast and topped with a cozy blanket of melty mozzarella. As you can see here, the toasts were not practicing social distancing ;-)

Falafel is a great, healthy meal to make that uses both pantry items (chickpeas, oats, pita bread) and bit and bobs from your fridge that you want to use up (veggies, cheese).
