THOUGHTS ON THIS PAST WEEK’S FOOD:
I have never grilled sugar snap peas before, but I’ll definitely make them again. They were wonderful and great with the peanut sauce (soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, ginger, garlic, cilantro).
I love the pickled turnips! I think these will be particularly great with the hot weather coming up. I think they’d be a great filling for summer rolls.
Okonomiyaki is one of our favorite easy meals. I’m always happy to get cabbage because we love it so much. We usually end up serving it with a mayo-sriracha sauce.
I find myself carrying over fennel which doesn’t make sense to me because I love it, we just don’t buy it normally. I think it’s easy to get in a rut, even when you know better and even when you love a certain vegetable. We’ll try to remedy that this coming week.
This is going to be another financially tight week for us, and I’ll be traveling to Memphis over the weekend, so this coming week will be somewhat challenging for us. We’ll see how it shakes out!
I hope you all had another great week filled with great food!
Kristina
