(More) Sauce!


Since we've been eating cooked tomatoes, general-use sauce has been very popular around here. It's very basic - slow-sauteed onions, garlic, oregano, basil, tomatoes, ghee and broth.
Here's what I found today at the farmer's market for a very reasonable price...


The plan is to make a huge pot of it, distribute it among all of our recycled yogurt containers and freeze it all for winter.

Tonight's menu and cooking plan

As my work schedule speeds up I need to do more cooking at once, but only twice a week...Sundays and Thursdays.

The ghee is almost finished.

Tonight is "pizza night" which is actually a fun, easy meal. I'm making the crust first. The pizza actually takes about 10 minutes once the crust is done. I suppose I could actually make and freeze a few of those crusts...hmm.

There will be steamed cauliflower and roasted fennel with our pizza. (The fennel just showed up in our box and I was at a loss until I found this:

Simple. Nice. Looks tasty.

Then I have to make two entrees for the next four days. Once chicken and one beef.

I am hoping to put together either a fun ice cream type thing or an apple/pear pie.

It's going to be a late night here...better get back to work.
