This week is WSU's festival of contemporary music and most of the events are taking place Wednesday and Thursday night. I'm sitting in on music theater auditions Monday and Tuesday night.
It's a nutty week and we needed to plan recipes that are quick and easy.
Monday
Flatbread with cranberry sauce, sautéed onions, and goat cheese.
What's the difference between flatbread and pizza anyway? I read something somewhere that said that pizza has yeast and flatbread doesn't... anyway, it's pretty yummy.
Tuesday
Bun cha
This is a Thai dish that our friends Keri and Andy introduced us to. It's so good, a bit complicated, but totally worth it. And perfect with a cold beer.
Wednesday
Flank steak tacos with cowboy beans
Aleks puts the meat in our sous vide a few days before and then finishes it off in the skillet.
Do you know what a sous vide is?
The French translation is "under vacuum."
Basically you vacuum seal the food you want to cook, fill the machine up with water, set the temperature, and then let your food cook in the water bath.
It's kind of like a slow cooker.
When we first got it, I thought we'd use it for a week and then put it in the garage. Well, I was wrong, we use it all the time.
Totally worth it.
Thursday
Indonesian peanut chicken in the slow cooker with rice
I've never made this before, so we'll see how it turns out.
Friday
Won ton soup.
I made potstickers last week and froze the extras.
This week they're going into soup.
We hope you all have a fabulous week!
