dinners

well, i haven't been that great at showing you folks what i've been doing with my csa loot. i had planned on writing about everything we we're eating, but there is only so many ways to make muslix or honey toast for breakfast and left overs for lunch that interesting. so perhaps if i switch the concentration to just the dinners, i'll be more productive. hopefully when the days get longer i can get better pictures in the daylight instead of relying on the icky camera flash. so, to catch up a bit, let's take a look at a few dinners i made for me and hubby. and let me tell you, 1 1/2 pounds of beef stew meat can really go a long way for two people...... (items from the csa in bold).

superbowl sunday stew meat chilli
served over cheese grits 
and topped with butter and garlic sauteed tasoi



roasted hubbard squash and onions 
over brown rice 
one night i topped it with a little stew meat sliced thin and sauteed in butter



ok, this next dinner, i'll totally admit, looks a little bit like cesar dog food served over rice, but it sure tasted pretty good.

"it's sorta" beef stroganoff, stroganoff
 beef stew meat with onions and dried mushrooms
in a creamy mushroom/beer stock sauce with sour cream
served over brown rice with 
a side salad of dressed radish shoots


last night's dinner wasn't terribly exciting. we had leftover cheese grits with roasted sweet potatoes and onions and scrambled eggs. hopefully, i'll keep up with posting about the dinners and possibly take a few more pictures as i'm cooking.
