Arroz Caldo

I will admit, I didn’t make the oil in the way they called for, cause I’m lazy. But even so, with a couple of shortcuts (dried garlic, ginger), and it came together pretty quickly and was quite tasty. Comforting when the warmer weather turned back into something a bit more seasonally appropriate.

Chickpea Curry

Last week when I was making the Italian sausage and white bean braise, I accidentally opened two cans of chickpeas, cause…you know, reading is hard. So I put them in a storage container, stuck them in the fridge and found actual white beans in the stack of canned foods. So I needed something to get through the chickpeas. Nice, warming, vegetarian.

Fish

I didn’t buy fish. I thought I had fish. I didn’t. Shannon wanted to order out anyways, so we did.

Pork Tenderloin Stroganoff

The first of two heavy mushroom dishes this week, making for a good source of Vitamin D. I may have forgotten to pick up some wide noodles, so we ended having them with some elbow macaroni. I thought about using the half pound that I had out of one box, but thought it wouldn’t be enough and used a whole pound box. This was too much. While there was leftovers, I ended up having some noddles for lunch one of the days.

Tater Tot Hotdish

Beef, mushrooms, onion and garlic, simmered down a bit, some flour as a thickener, then some milk and stock, peas and corn. I suspect I used way nicer Parmesan then they probably used. Then it was covered in tots.

I was supposed to serve it with ketchup, but didn’t. I added a dash or two of hot sauce for myself.
