Feed Us!
So here’s the deal.
We’re going to the grocery store on Tuesday. We want you to tell us what to eat.
Leave a comment with a recipe or a link to a recipe you think we should cook this week. We’ll pick the 5 that appeal to us most and cook them, photograph them, and post them (good OR bad). If you’ve got a blog, be sure to leave your website, we’ll post your link if we use your recipe. :)
We won’t cook absolutely everything… there are a *few* conditions:
- Please don’t put us in the poor house. We’re always keen on cheap eats. :)
- We actually do work, on occasion, and would prefer not to be cooking for the better part of the day.
- The recipe should be somewhat dairy free, or be able to be made dairy free (ie: soy creamer, etc). with a few exceptions (parmesan, butter, and goat cheese, mmmmm.) Eggs are fine.
- Extra points for in-season produce and healthy/vegetarian stuff
- More extra points if you include a complementary side/starter/something to eat with it
- It can’t be something we’ve cooked before!
- It doesn’t have to be your recipe. Though it’d be nice if you’ve tried it so you know whether or not it’s actually any good.
Ready? Go!!

What a cool idea! I bet you’ll get tons of great suggestions!
I’d like to see your version of my eggplant veggie “burgers.”

Add what you want (mushrooms, rice, beans, whatever you think would be good) and serve it how you see fit… I want to see a different incarnation of it!

Can you eat Romano cheese? I have this wedding pasta dish. I’m going to email you the chicken & basil stir fry recipe I have.
Aug 4, 2008 | ReplyI recommend either Zucchini Ribbons with Saffron Couscous from Cooking Light
(I usually sub the pine-nut couscous, and sometimes even skip the saffron)
or, Orange-Chipotle Glazed tofu with Confetti Rice

Hello Lindsay Taylor and Kalypso!!
I have a great marinade for Salmon. (Works well with any fish actually):

As a side I love a fresh creamy orzo:

I’ve typically substituted the Whipping milk with rice milk.
or
Tomato Artichoke Rice Salad (served rm. temp or warmed up)
http://lapetitechef.blogspot.com/2007/08/tomatoe-artichoke-rice-salad.html
This is packed with flavors and the acidity of the juice from the artichokes pairs well with Fish.
This is such a great idea! I can’t wait to see what you make.
Lately I’ve been craving Italian food and would suggest purchasing a few ingredients and make several meals from it. My menu below is for three meals and includes a big batch of tomato sauce to use with homemade meatballs on top of spaghetti. The next night make chicken parmesan and top with the sauce and left over spaghetti. The third night, take the leftover meatballs and make hot meatball sandwiches on a crusty bread.
You may already have some of this on hand, but here is your complete grocery list:
2 Boneless skinless chicken breast (chicken parm)
Flour (chicken parm)
3 Eggs (chicken parm, meatballs)
Breadcrumbs (chicken parm, meatballs
Mozzarella (chicken parm, meatballs, hoagie)
Olive Oil (sauce, chicken parm, meatballs)
Garlic (sauce, meatballs)
Onion (chicken parm, meatballs, hoagie)
Red wine (sauce)
Italian seasoning (sauce, chicken parm, meatballs)
Crusty bread, like a french loaf (hoagie)
Spaghetti (chicken parm)
1 lb ground turkey (meatballs)
1 log of Jimmy Dean’s Hot Sausage (meatballs)
Parmesan cheese (chicken parm, meatballs, hoagie)
Fresh herbs if you like, basil and flat leaf parsley are great for Italian cooking (sauce, meatballs)
1 Can tomato paste (sauce)
1 Can tomato sauce (sauce)
1 Can diced or crushed tomatoes (sauce)

Enjoy, Mandy
Aug 6, 2008 | ReplyGreat idea! This recipe is fantastic - and easy - and lite! We serve it with coconut jasmine rice and sauteed spinach. Enjoy!
