Meatless Monday

Tonight we were in a bit of a pinch.  We didn't have any veggies other than a head of garlic, we'd eaten pasta last night, and I was out of eggs which meant no waffles.  I rummaged around in the back of the pantry and found a canister of Arborio rice-- Risotto, it was!

Our risotto consisted of sauted garlic, vegetable broth, and butter.  Twenty minutes of stirring gave us the most wonderful, creamy rice!

LGB even loved it.  Did he eat any?  No.  Did he sit in the kitchen while I cooked screeching his head off in delight?  You betcha!  I can't wait until he gets to try some of my culinary delights.  In just a few short months, he'll be dining like a big kid!

I'd share my recipe with you, but I didn't exactly use any measurements and risotto just consists of sauting rice, then simmering it for 20 while gradually adding in broth.  The fun part is that you have to constantly stir the rice for the entire 20 mins!  Talk about a shoulder injury in the making!

Meatless Monday

This week Meatless Monday will be happening on a Tuesday.  No, I won't be entitling it Tofu Tuesday.

It's a funny story, really.  The Father made some amazing fish and chips yesterday.  We don't really eat fried food, but this is our exception.  He used up the rest of the frozen fish freezer which in turn made for tons of leftovers.  They probably won't be good tomorrow, so they are our dinner for tonight.

As penance, I've planned an amazing dinner!
I'll be trying my hand a making spinach quiche!  I've never made a quiche so it shall be a fun adventure.  Lunch will be slightly boring- baked potato for myself and a microwavable noodles with peanut sauce doo-hicky.
