Sauteed grape tomatoes
Hot tea
______________________________________________________________
This is our first dinner just us post-vacation and I expect you can detect a bit of recovery here. This is a very simple, light dinner. After eating extremely well for the past week, we're working to be closer to our eating norms :) Also, it's a Friday in Lent and this seems like a good dinner. This is one of those recipes we've made for so long that we don't even look at the recipe any more and so I forgot that we've started liking it better with whole wheat pasta. Oh well, next time. The overall effect is very homey and welcoming for us and the spark of the grape tomatoes is PERFECT!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Broccoli rabe, garlic
Time: 25 minutes
Make ahead: I would do this all just before serving.
Reaction
J: "An oldie but goodie."
M: "Simple, clean flavors."

Harvest grains (Yes, we import this TJs product)
Peas with pearl onions
Hot tea
Cupcakes
______________________________________________________________
Perhaps we were inspired by the thousands of fish frys going on in the Buffalo area for the Fridays during Lent, perhaps we just like fish this way, you can decide. we are revisiting our healthful fried fish for this first Friday of the Lenten season. I cannot get over how easy, how flavorful, and how un-greasy this is! Yum! We get the harvest grains form my parents who have access to Trader Joe's. They're a grain blend with Israeli cous cous, quinoa, and other whole grains, plus some orzo. You make it with a broth, not water and it turns out to be this AMAZING side dish, with virtually no work. Desipte the lack of great fresh veggies in the markets, M and I are really beginning to think spring, so frozen baby peas and little onions fit the bill tonight. We know spring will come...eventually!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: None
Time: 40 minutes
Make ahead: I would do all of this right before serving.

J: "Who expected this love of fried food???"
