Recipes:

Faux Chicken Pot Pie
**Note: I use Quorn meatless pieces for this, and my go-to pie crust recipe from The New England Cookbook

For the filling, I saute onions in oil or butter.  You can add diced potatoes to this as well.  Then I make a roux with flour.  I add in water and about a teaspoon of Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base (the No-chicken base would probably also work).  Once it thickens a bit, I add mixed vegetables.  I like the big bag of organic mixed vegetables from Costco, but any variety will do.  Sometimes, if I don't have the quick frozen ones, I'll chop up carrots and/or green beans or other various vegetables around the house.  Then I add in the quorn meatless pieces.  Once everything is mixed in, and mostly thawed and covered in the sauce, I pour the filling in, put the top crust on, and bake it at around 400 for around 30 minutes. 

Other meal ideas:
Use the leftover rhubarb for a compote for oatmeal or stewed for scones

Saturday - Faux Chicken Parm with Salad
Sunday - Indian Spiced Slow Cooker Lentils and Roti (vfit recipe rolodex)


Recipes:

Pasta with Delicata Squash, Rainbow Chard, and Tahini 
(I made this one up, so I'l try to write it down).

- Toss sliced delicata squash with olive oil, parsley (I used a handful of fresh parsley chopped up), thyme ( I used fresh), garlic powder, salt and pepper  (I bet fresh garlic would be nice, but I was rationing my limited garlic supply).  Bake for 25 minutes at 400.

- Boil pasta (I used Red Lentil penne)

- Saute Chopped Leeks in Olive oil (I just used the pot I boiled the pasta in once the pasta was draining)

- Add Chard, Salt, Garlic powder, saute until wilted.  Add a splash of lemon juice

- Add a heaping tablespoon of Tahini, a heaping tablespoon of hummus, and a splash of half and half (or cream or milk would probably work, too).  If these amounts don't make a sauce that covers well, add more.  Taste.  If it tastes good, toss in the penne and the squash and mix.  If it doesn't taste good, add something to make it taste better, then add in the penne and squash and mix.  Top with Parmesan Cheese if desired.


For the future: 

Pierogis and Kielbasa (need potatoes)
Taco Tuesday: Enchiladas with Rhubarb Chipotle Sauce
Pad Thai (need tofu and peanuts and sprouts)
Faux chicken pot pie

Other meal ideas:

Rhubarb bars (need walnuts)

Coronavirus SIP Week 4

So far we've been faring well with the one trip to Costco before our Shelter-In-Place (SIP) order started, signing up for a CSA delivery (Farm Fresh to You), and one scary trip to the grocery store for milk, oj, and a few other things.  I'd like to avoid going out again, so I figured some planning ahead might be helpful to use what we already have in the house and then planning ahead to order and obtain other food as needed.
