We call it “Comfort Food” because it makes us feel better. This version of pasta will definitely bring back memories of favorite foods from our childhood.
Kale with Fried Apple and Dried Tart Cherries: Wednesday, May 7, 2025
Tonight you’ll enjoy Lacinato or Dino kale with fried green apples that have just a whisper of cinnamon.
The greens are cooked with fresh basil and combined with dried tart cherries. They’re served with sliced chicken or chickenless tenders and toasted almonds. It’s all presented over a bed of high-protein quinoa.
Hazelnut Encrusted Cod with Nutty Rice and Broccoli: Tuesday, May 6, 2025
Let’s do something interesting with fish tonight! You can find cod, sablefish, black cod or Pacific cod at the fish counter, or freezer section. You can also by packages of frozen cod at many supermarkets. They are all reasonably sustainable catches so dare I say: “In Cod We Trust?”
Tonight, you’ll cook the fish with a toasted hazelnut crust. The fish is accompanied by a healthy portion of nutty rice. Bright green steamed broccoli with butter and lemon finishes the plate.
Bok Choy Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce: Monday, May 5, 2025
Seriously – bok choy is really good for you! And it’s seriously delicious in this rich tasting stir-fry. It’s nearly a religious experience when supported by a choir of Napa Cabbage, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers and fresh basil. Tonight’s meal service finishes with a heavenly homemade peanut sauce. Diners will sing your praises.
Potato Gnocchi and Spinach Nest: Sunday, May 4, 2025
Some Italians would consider gnocchi (pronounced no-kee) to be comfort food. I do too! Tonight these delicatedumplings are served with a sage/gorgonzola cream sauce.
The process of making gnocchi is easy, but they’ll take a little time to prepare. You’ll start by baking and mashing some potatoes followed by rolling and shaping the gnocchi. This activity offers an excellent opportunity to draft the services of a child or partner.
