Woot! This weekend's farmer's market trip was wonderful. Mustard greens, romaine, spinach, napa cabbage, green beans...green, green, green! Must be spring in NC. *Contented sigh*
So, now what to do with all of it? Here's the plan:
Monday: Using the cabbage, some ginger, some chicken, some peppers and some Asian noodles (mung bean flour ones...they were $1 at Big Lots) all tossed together. Cooked lightly (well, except the chicken, it'll be well done!) in a light broth. Mmmm.
Tuesday: I was going to have us eat the left over soup from Sunday night (mustard greens, potatoes & hot pork sausage in a chicken broth--don't knock it til ya try it.), but everyone ate lots...soooo, since there are still mustard greens left (t'was a HUGE bunch!), I'm going to try this recipe: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/curried-mustard-greens-with-kidney-beans/Detail.aspx
Wednesday: Something with green beans. I have enough for two meals for the green beans to be the main course. I'm still searching for inspiration. Perhaps this night we'll do our favorite: Green bean fries (recipe in another post--after I make them again), tomato slices on the side.
Thursday: Church dinner to celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society. My husband is helping in the nursery, so there will be no need to cook. Yippee!
Friday: Green beans, day two. I'm thinking along the lines of garlic & ginger beans. Simple, yet satisfying. Since they are really saucy, I'll toss in some chicken. Chicken tastes good with ginger on it. :) Plus, this dinner has to be light...we'll be eating bunches of birthday cakes since it's my and my youngest daughter's birthday weekend! My wee little baby will be three!
Saturday: We'll see what we haven't finished off for lunches and left-overs from dinners. And we'll EAT EM! Unless of course we go to dinner for someone's birthday... ;)
