Bok Choy, Cod and Pesto…that’s either an exotic law firm or tonight’s dinner. Bok choy, like cauliflower and brocolli, is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family. It is loaded with phytonutrients and vitamins. All you really need to know is it tastes great. You’ll cook a piece of Cod tonight. Add a little pesto for extra flavor and everybody’s happy.
It’s New Year’s Eve and Cioppino, the Italian inspired fish stew, is on the menu. Celery, onion, sweet peppers, fennel and capers punctuate a tomato-based broth that features a variety of seafood. Use frozen, cooked cod from freezer (you saved this in the first week of Dec.) and thaw it on a plate in the fridge during the day. If necessary, set it out to thaw on the counter about an hour before you start cooking.
Pick up fresh shrimp and mussels as needed. If you have no frozen cooked fish, bake about 6 oz. of cod today.
Chicken Fajitas tonight! When everyone gets to build their fajitas just the way they like ’em, they just taste better. They’re the ultimate in fingerfood. It’s called having a little skin in the game.
They’re great with plant-based product or with optional chicken breast. And, speaking of skin, if you are using the optional chicken in your fajitas, cook your chicken without it. Either way you’re in for some fabulous, fun, fingerlicious food!
A delicious stir-fry is on tap tonight with one of my favorite cruciferous vegetables, bok choy! Baby Bok Choy is desirable for this recipe but some stores don’t always carry it. You’ll easily find adult bok choy though. Feel free to use either one.
Homemade soup needs a little extra time to rest before it’s consumed. It’s Sunday in January and hopefully this means you have a little more time to assemble this recipe so it can breath before dining. Add some artisan bread and a green salad to today’s Butternut Squash Soup and you’ve got a cozy winter meal.
It’s Saturday, December 28, 2024. Let’s get started on a new year of caring for your body and good planet stewardship.
Another great week of dining lies ahead. It’s time to plan ahead and create your grocery orders.
