May is a busy time - Here's what's on the slate as I'm testing for meal prep kits...
This week I'm testing recipes for meal prep kits.
Here are the ideas:
- Kale Salad with Miso Carrot Dressing. This is one of my favorite salads with a punchy dressing, crunchy seeds, and silky avocado. It was my beautiful bring-to-work salad when I was commuting, but now I know it as my waiting-freshly-in-the-fridge friend for when need a quick lunch. For dinner, it's good to build a menu around.
- Sweet Potato Croquettes. A new recipe with smooth sweet potato and a crunchy exterior. We'll see how she cooks up.
- Swiss Chard Tart - a particular favorite of my 5-year-old DS.
- Carrot Tarte Tatin- from Smitten Kitchen Keepers. I'll try making it with a homemade rough puff pastry dough instead of a full puff pastry and see how it comes out.
- Homemade Hummus. I went to The Big Cheese in Rosendale to get some of the tahini they process on site to see if I can improve this house staple.
- Homemade crackers. I have several recipes. We'll need something to dip into my hummus other than veggies.
- Saturday is our Spring Swap at DS's school. I'll be bringing Rhubarb Tarts with Hazelnut Frangipane!
