Weeknight Meals: February


I was recently given a copy of How to Cook Everything Fast. I've heard so many people rave about Mark Bittman's recipes, so I was excited to try out a few. 

Here's what's on this week's menu: 
Curry-Braised Beef and Eggplant with Sesame Noodles


This book is enormous. Really. It's well over 1000 pages. 

Last night we tried the Curry-Braised Beef and Eggplant with Sesame Noodles. The consensus was that it was both tasty and fast. 

I made the soup this afternoon. I have to admit, it's not quite as good as I wanted it to be, but it's definitely edible, and just not to my taste.  In 1000+ pages, not every recipe can be a winner. I'm looking forward to Chicken Marsala tonight!

Exciting Ruth!! I tried this minestrone [ https://food52.com/recipes/33502-tomato-and-farro-minestrone ] on Monday. It was good, but it could have used a little red pepper flake or something to jazz it up, too. And it wasn't perfect leftover...the farro sucked up the broth. But, it was healthy, edible, and good. I feel you on the soup.
