This afternoon I made some citrus smoothies- everyone is fighting sickness right now... I used fresh squeezed grapefruits, lemons, and oranges, bananas, tablespoon honey, about 1 cup yogurt, 2 handfuls of ice and about 2 tablespoons phyillium husks (which my daughter believes is a type of sugar).
I found a recipe for Thai curry that I can't wait to try, after being inspired by our date night this weekend. This paste can be mixed in with veges, shrimp, chicken or pork. Looks great! I think this will freeze well too if I add some olive or canola oil to the batch.
Curry Paste:
1 cup firmly packed Thai basil leaves
2 medium shallots, chopped
¼ cup firmly packed cilantro leaves
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp Thai green Chile paste
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp agave nectar
2 cloves garlic, peeled.
Here's what the week is looking like:
Sunday: Vegetarian Meatballs and Sauce with pasta
Monday: Thai Basil Eggplant with brown rice
Tuesday: Black bean tacos with the fixins (tomato, cilantro, onion, cheese) with homemade guacomole
Wednesday: Split pea soup - I cooked this on the weekend using leftover ham (I had baked a few weeks back), so tonight I just heat and serve. And, I don't mind the ham chunks because it really gives the soup the flavor (even though you can leave out).
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Homemade pizza
