Tiffanie: this week's menu

I didn't get around to writing this up, but this was the plan, and it was all tasty. :-)

• spaghetti with garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and pine nuts. A delicious and easy dish! Toasted pine nuts; about a head of garlic, pressed and toasted in 3 Tbsp olive oil; 1/2 cup of sun dried tomatoes, soaked and chopped; some pepper and salt and parsley, all tossed and gobbled up. Well, not by the kids, they don't love such intense flavors yet.
• snobby joes: lentil based sloppy joes. Love this recipe from Veganomicon. Fennel and orange salad.
• broccoli tofu stir fry, rice, roasted seaweed. One kid ate the broccoli, the other one ate the tofu... I ate it all.
• curried split pea soup, spiced indian basmati rice, fennel and orange salad. The salad is a repeat whenever I have fennel on hand, as it is my favorite way to eat fennel. And the CSA keeps giving it to me... The rice is a new recipe, and it was quite good. Lots of spices in it, plus onions and raisins and grated carrot. It starts with sautéing chopped almonds in oil, so those are especially delicious.
