2015 - Week 46 Cooking Results

Chicken Noodle Soup with Bok Choy (later in the week when it gets cold again)

This came together fairly quickly, however the problem with using ramen noodles is that, they are long, so if you are expecting to eat this with a spoon, as one does, it becomes difficult to eat long noddles.  This would be be fine if you had chopsticks and a spoon, but this way not so much.  Anyways, it still tasted pretty good, even if it was a bit frustrating to eat.

Pastrami Tacos with Mustard Seed Salsa (sort of)

yeah, I really just wanted a pastrami sandwich...  Made that instead.

Chickpea Masala & Saffron Rice

This wasn't as good as the effort it took.  I want to find another use for saffron to bring that forward more, for the sake of Shannon.  I think I can doctor this up a bit after the fact to make it more delicious to eat as a leftover.

Simple Lasagna with Hearty Tomato-Meat Sauce

This was a simple lasagna.  While I traded the meat mixture for all spicy Italian sausage, i kept the recipe pretty much the same.  It was pretty good, though probably not the best meal to make after work on a weeknight (I even started a bit later then I intended).  The Mozzarella was very fresh (as in less then an hour out of the brine by the time I used it).  Anyways, good stuffs.

Green Onion Sausage Pizza

delayed until today (got the dough started late, also didn't remember to take it out yesterday morning).
