apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

A very quick pasta vongole (tomato-clam sauce) I made this morning and a crispy Granny Smith apple

Taco salad from last night-- ground turkey, salad greens, cheese, tomatoes, with a dressing of sour cream and taco sauce...chased with tea and Hob Nobs.

A veggie wrap with black beans, spinach, green bell pepper, goat cheese and salsa on a wheat tortilla.

A (home-made) chef salad, with Marechal cheese ( http://www.le-marechal.ch/ ), a bit of jambon de Paris, and a perfectly hard boiled (with the centre deep orange and slightly squidgy) Swiss egg. With cucumber, mache, aragula, friseé, and tomato.

Leftover potato, kale, and carrot soup (homemade, of course).

last night's leftovers: mandarin chicken, brown rice, snap peas. And an orange. And two pieces of liccorice.

It's a fruity Thursday - banana, apple, and a few pieces of leftover homemade pizza topped with parmesan, prosciutto, olive oil, sun dried tomatoes.

I brought slices of leftover ginger sesame pork loin on two pieces of homemade, whole wheat seedy bread with lettuce, tomato, a bit of mayo and dijon mustard. I also have some baby carrots and an anjou pear. Mmm...

roasted potatoes and butternut squash with carmelized onions and baby portobello mushrooms that had been sauted in chardonnay. and jello pudding snack (chocolate)

Trader Joe's Harvest Grains blend with a handful of cranberries and raisins thrown in with a pinch of cinnamon and cumin and a few red pepper flakes. I was going for a sweet/savory thing but I don't think it really worked... ha. I ate it anyway...

lotsa leftovers: 1) 1/2 chicken breast w/ thyme (directions via your post-thanks!), 2) roasted yams w/ cinnamon and pumpkin seeds, 3) rice, 3) brocollini and carrots. And a leftover jonagold apple from my attempts at baking.

Jamaican Patty (curry flavour) and an apple. Some of you have seriously delicious sounding lunches!

I feel a lot better about making large lumpy spaetzle after seeing yours.

Lunch was delicata squash red curry with green beans and corn.

Oh yes, I much prefer them that way to the tiny ricer/colander types. I like two-bite spaetzle...

Leftover egg drop and veggie soup and fried wontons strips (from Chinese takeout last night), some Mandarin orange segments, and green chai tea...

We had last night's kale, potato, and chorizo soup along with some nice hearty toasted bread... just in time for a power outage that lasted 3 hours! Good thing we got the soup warmed up first!

I tried to get down some tortilla soup I'd made a few days ago, similar to this one (even better, actually), but the fairies of flu land aren't quite letting this food writer eat yet. Glad you all are nourishing yourselves!

Leftover potato cheese soup from our game night on Sunday. Very tasty hot or cold. Must include beer in the cooking.

Also, an orange that one of the secretaries tossed at me.

Leftovers from dinner: bean-vegetable burritos. And a pear.
