^^ Onerous boiled eggs and egg salad within the On the spot Pot

Decrease recent, Maximize pantry + freezer

Like all of you, we’re making an attempt to attenuate pointless journeys to the grocery retailer and make our pantry and freezer meals final us so long as attainable. We’ve been getting some meals from A lot or takeout and the remaining are improvised at house with what we now have available. In fact now I want I had had the time or forethought to plan like I might with a brand new child coming: freezer baggage of crockpot meals or casseroles. However this all occurred so quick the perfect we did was purchase some baggage of beans and rice and some additional pantry staples.

One in every of our final “recent” meals

BBQ rooster with asparagus and rice

Pantry + Freezer Improv

Beans + rice

I whipped up this meal from the pantry that additionally occurred to be vegan! Coconut rice, black beans, canned pineapple, spices (cumin, cinnamon, paprika), spinach, orange bell pepper, and lime. If we had had cilantro it might have been concerned too!

Extra beans + rice, this time with peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, cheese, and bitter cream.

Pasta

Good outdated spaghetti and meat balls! We added frozen spinach and used frozen floor beef.

The following evening I used leftover noodles and frozen peas to make a butter-parmesan-lemon pasta. There was nothing fancy about this – easy eat for easy occasions.

Inexperienced Muffins

I made a batch of those inexperienced muffins my pal Caroline invented. (Get the recipe in her IG story highlights.) They’re so good, and Birch loves them! I’ve had one with a hard-boiled egg all week for breakfast.

Picnic Dinner

Out of doors eating at its best. Pita chips (with egg salad), olives, peppers, almonds, salami, cheese.

And canned wine

A lot

We’ve been fortunate that A lot Cville remains to be delivering in a time when folks want to remain house. (Della has made a bunch of adjustments to methods in order that there isn’t a contact with households and meals is coming in recyclable containers as a substitute of glass jars and Pyrex.) It is a lifeline to many right here in Cville who in any other case would want to go to the grocery retailer for meals, together with my aged neighbor who I launched to it.

Egg + cheese + herb bake

Beef bulgogi with rice and carrot ribbons

Lampo Takeout

Whereas I believe most individuals are in cash saving mode, I do need to proceed to help the eating places who’re hurting so badly proper now. A lot of our eating places are providing curbside pickup or supply, additionally with no person-to-person contact. (We wipe down the skin of containers, then wash palms, then serve meals, wash once more, then eat!) Lampo pizza certain tasted good on our porch.

Can we stay on smoothies?

Keep in mind that flash-frozen produce has its vitamins frozen at peak ripeness. For those who’re out of salad provides, have a smoothie. (Each day Harvest is a superb choice for some greens included! Get $25 off your first field.)
