I don't know if I will be posting these regularly or not, but it seems like a good idea right now. Maybe it won't later. Also probably few of you actually care what we're eating for dinner around here, so this is cut for your protection.

Your Sat 3/20 menu is almost exactly what I do with my TJ's Thai yellow curry, except in addition to the coconut milk, potatoes, and chopped chicken thighs, I also add frozen peas and chopped carrots. That way, I make it both meat and veggie dish in one.

We've been doing couscous pretty regularly, too - it's a good starch+veggie in one dish if you do it right. I pretty typically cut some fresh herbs from the garden, chop them up and add them along with steamed broccoli, peas, raisins, walnuts, and chopped fresh tomatoes into the couscous after it's been cooked.

Hmm. I don't think I've tried to make couscous. I should throw that in as an experiment.

Throwing peas and carrots into the curry seems reasonable, but Sprout probably won't eat the curry so I want the veggie on the side. She has a thing against sauces and will not be deterred. "I DON'T LIKE SAUCE." No ketchup, no mustard, no salad dressing, no bbq sauce, no gravy. About the only thing she'll eat in terms of sauce is a cheese sauce, sometimes.
