Leftover Night: Local Edition
Playing blog catch-up with some light meals based on local produce from our home garden and farmers' market.
Yogurt-Rubbed Chicken and Paneer Pulao
An Indian-inspired meal for the Indian-averse palate: Yogurt-rubbed roast chicken with tandoori spices, and an aromatic rice pilaf with peas and homemade paneer cheese.
When Life Gives You Lemons
Chicken roasted with lemon curd and salmon roasted with lemon slices: two very different, but equally delicious uses for Meyer lemons.
Enter the Samosa
Our first try making samosas was a rousing success---beef, potato and peas in a crispy shell, served with homemade apple chutney.
Do Not Adjust Your Screen
Moroccan stewed chicken with peas, almonds, and butternut squash, served over purple cauliflower couscous---a rainbow of a meal for a dreary autumn day.
Child’s Play, or Spinning for Noodle-Lovers
An easy weeknight meal of cold noodle salad with peanut sauce and leftover chicken turns into a hand-pulled noodle-making production---how does this always happen to me?
Peas and Carrots
Your standard peas and carrots are transformed into basil-scented pillowy pea gnocchi garnished with crispy shoestring carrots.
Clandestine
A quick summer pasta dish that can be served hot, cold or room temperature, tossed with peas, zucchini shreds, and a homemade pesto of fennel fronds and mint. A great way to use up those…

Arroz con Pollo and Friends
This easy boneless version of arroz con pollo shows its versatility with an array of leftovers, including breakfast burritos and tortilla soup. Also included is my go-to recipe for fresh flour tortillas.
Crispy/Sesame/Mandarin/Orange Beef and/or Chicken
Thinly sliced beef, fried for crunch and then tossed with snow peas and a sticky orange sauce.
I Need Help
Brown and white food may not be the healthiest, but it is so yummy. A veritable landslide of dichromatic meals, from pastas to baked goods to breakfast, with a finale of saffron-yellow fettuccine and leek…
Gussied Up
This easy mac and cheese can be served either straight from the pan or from the oven; peas, prosciutto, and garlicky breadcrumbs give it a little flair.
A Miscellany of Pasta
Linguine carbonara, and Vietnamese beef and broccoli with an attempted noodle pancake.
On Standby
A general formula for tuna salad, with dill and peas, or anything else you like.
Late Night Meal
The sudden heat wave continued last night. It was approaching 90F when we got home from work yesterday, so we delayed Freyja’s usual after-work walk until later in the evening, bleeding off some of her…
