We Love Food: Week One
>> December 11, 2009
During the course of our journey, Nathan and I will be trying to prepare at least three days of food at home. Assuming that while traveling we will eat only two meals a day (with plenty of snacks in between), this equals six meals each week. In our goal of six meals a week, we will also be including meals that are cooked/prepared by someone else in their home.
1. Saturday: Before we left New Orleans, we put together lunch-to-go, using up the contents of our mini-fridge. Nathan made an amazing salad using my mom's zucchini relish, a little creole mustard, mayo, celery, and lots of delicious leftover turkey from a family holiday dinner at my aunt Tamar's house. And we had Tamar's incredible cashew stuffing and cranberry sauce on the side. You know that the people on the plane were jealous!!
2. Saturday: Delicious homemade chili...thanks Sara and Monica for the amazing treat! The cornbread muffins and cornbread croutons were the perfect side.
3. Monday: While in downtown DC we stopped by CVS for some food. We were fairly unsuccessful, but left with 2 packs of ramen noodles (these were turned into a cozy soup by running hot water through the coffee maker in the hotel room) and tortilla chips and salsa. Combined with a ton of leftover fruit from breakfast, this was a barely satisfactory meal, but the price ($6) was pretty great.
4. Wednesday: We had delicious granola and fresh fruit at Sara and Monica's house.
5. Thursday: After realizing that CVS was a bust in the food department, we went to Whole Foods the next day. We made sandwiches with baked chicken and greens from the salad bar, a partial block of cheddar, a few panini's, and leftover salsa with a hefty dose of tabasco. I grilled the sandwiches using the hotel room iron. We had fruit salad on the side.
6. Friday: Another amazing homecooked meal at Sara and Monica's: yellow curry chicken with papadums (fun and exciting food!!!). Thanks for keeping us fed and happy this week! We always love spending time with you.
***Please note that we occasionally whetted our voracious appetites with small bites of DELECTABLE and almost-available-for-online-purchasing...CHEEKY COOKIES!
