since the weather finally decided to get real nice. . .hendrix and i decided to get sick. neat. however, thanks to hendrix's very prepared mother, we still were able to eat a pretty decent meals.
pasta pantry soup
1 1/2 boxes of chicken broth
1/2 pkg. mushrooms
1/4 pkg. frozen peas
2t. jarred, crushed garlic
1/2 pkg. frozen ravioli
salt, pepper, & crushed red pepper to taste
in a dutch oven, saute the mushrooms in olive oil until softened. whisk garlic in and add broth. season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. bring to a boil and add ravioli and peas. soup is done when ravioli floats to the top. mike added some cooked kielbasa to his bowl.
this would work with really any veg/pasta/broth combo you have in the house. it just goes to show you that it really pays off to plan the purchase of pantry items into your weekly grocery shopping.
also, i just received my newest cookbook in the mail, "time for dinner", co authored by the founder of dinner a love story. it is great! some really nice dinner ideas, pantry building, and super parent friendly. there is some not so great suggestions, but for the most part i am really happy i got it. it inspired 5 of this week's dinners.
monday: sweet & sour pork with plums & fried rice
tuesday: sloppy joes with sweet potato fries
wednesday: korean ribs ~ crockpot style
thursday: gorditas
friday: one pot coconut chicken curry
saturday: greek burgers
monday: chicken pot pie (made with biscuits!)
