On the Menu: Week of August 27
August 26th, 2006 by Donna
Terrific Tofu Burgers, a Moosewood recipe from Recipezaar. This recipe is new to us, and will make leftovers for lunches (apparently you can freeze tofu burgers).
Chicken, Garlic and Soy Stew, a Mark Bittman recipe from the New York Times. This is a “greatest hit” for us, and we like it so much it may be the greatest hit.
A simple grilled pizza recipe from Mark Bittman - we’ve made this before and liked its variations; I’m a pizza fan, so I love being able to have it at home. Two Mark Bittmans in one week - are we falling into a rut?
Easy Asian Beef and Noodles from Cooking Light*. This is easy and tasty - you can’t go wrong with beef and noodles. This has almost reached “greatest hit” status, but I think I like it more than Jon does. If you can’t access that recipe, there’s a PDF here.
The mussels from last week - we don’t have week-old mussels sitting around, we just didn’t get around to making this. Tonight it is.
*I have a love-hate relationship with Cooking Light which boils down to 1. I think their recipes are weirdly complex and rely on expensive, hard-to-find ingredients. 2. Half of the magazine is beauty tips or travel suggestions. When I use their website and can skip the magazine, I’m so much happier - it’s almost worth the price of the subscription (Accidentally, I have a subscription that won’t expire for two more years, so I’ve had a lot of time to think about whether or not I like the magazine). Fine Cooking consistently delivers better results, or should I say they deliver better results consistently.
