    Caribbean Week Menu

    With Jon having just returned from Ukraine, and me about to head off to Austria, we decided that some spicy food was in order.

    2014 Food Lover's Cleanse: Week 2 (New American Theme)

    As a follow-on to Week 1 of the Bon Appetit Food Lover's Cleanse, we did a New American-focused menu. Again, we really only incorporated a few of the cleanse recipes, but those we did were really delicious this week! Also, by the end of these two weeks, I have taken off the ~4 pounds of holiday weight I had gained. Hooray!

    Sun: Grilled Rib Eye with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
    Mon: Roasted Root Vegetables with Quinoa and Green Tahini Sauce (vegetables roasted ahead on Sunday with the sweet potatoes)
    Tues: Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon and Oregano (not a cleanse recipe, and really not a winner…)
    Wed: Root Vegetable Salad (with leftovers from earlier in the week)
    Thus: A somewhat decent pasta dish (a recipe of Audrey's creation) made from leftover chicken thighs
    Fri: Out to Table to finish off the week

    Roasted vegetables with green tahini sauce

    2014 Food Lover's Cleanse: Week 1 (Asian Theme)

    So, I definitely felt the pounds go on this holiday season. In an effort to get those off quickly, and jump start our healthy eating for the year, we incorporated some meals from the Bon Appetit Food Lover's Cleanse into our meal plan for the week. We by no means went all-in. Breakfast and lunch remained largely unchanged, and I did fudge some of the recipes to make them more delicious. All in all, it was okay. None of the recipes were really winners, though I recorded many of them because they are healthy.

    Sun: Lemongrass Chicken with Coconut Black Rice and Garlicky Bok Choy
    Mon: Soy-braised Short Ribs (admittedly not part of the cleanse diet) with more of the delicious Bok Choy
    Tues: Avocado and Grapefruit Salad with Edamame (with fried won ton wrappers added for crunch) with Sesame Miso Vinaigrette
    Wed: Cheat and go out to Bluejacket (but we ate healthy, I swear…)
    Thus: Chicken, Mango, and Black Rice Salad
    Fri: Sushi at home

    Lemongrass Chicken with bok choy and black rice

    XMas Dinner 2013

    We experiment a bit with our xmas dinners - while the Thanksgiving menu is well locked-in with the annual turkey and dressing with sides, we don't feel as bound to repeating that for xmas. Last year, we tried goose, but ... well, let's say we didn't instantly adopt it as a tradition. This year, we're going with duck confit:

    Duck leg confit with spicy pickled raisins

    Brussels Sprouts with chestnuts (not a repeat dish)

    Beets with citrus and nuts

    Hot rolls

    And for dessert, a classically over-complicated Cook's Illustrated French Apple Cake

    4-day Cabin Plan

    Jon and I have found a great rental "cabin" about 1.5 hours outside of DC (not giving our secret away!). We go there about once or twice a year to unplug and relax. We invariably have a great time.

    Each time we go, we plan a menu and bring everything we need to execute it. To help with future planning, here are menu options and shopping lists.

    Summer Option

    Lunch D1 (optional): Stop at Ashby Inn, Goodstone Inn, or Trummer's On Main.

    A Tasty Breakfast

    We came to the realization that if we want to preserve treats from this summer for the winter, then we need space to do that. We've done pretty well on our house-canned goods, but lacking a Freezer of Unusual Size (I don't think they exist), this meant we had to find uses for some items stored away in there currently.

    Pan seared tamale breakfast with fresh fruit

    Menu for the week of June 26

    Sun: grilled whole rainbow trout, stuffed with lemon and rosemary, brushed with garlic scape pesto, with quinoa, grilled squash, and side salad of purslane and seabeans.

    Mon : artesenal pizza w/salad on top
    Tues: Gnocci in a brown butter sauce and side veg
    Wed : Composed Salad w/ tuna
    Thus: H St. / Art Walk
    Fri : Baguette slices with heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, cured meats, cheese, olives, pickled mushrooms...

    Spring Menu: Week of May 21

    Sunday night: grass-fed steak from Canales meats in Eastern Market

    Monday: Fiddlehead fern salad with baked potato

    Italian Week: Menu for the week of May 15

    Sunday: Pizza with red sauce, fresh mushrooms and mozarella

    Monday: Salad night

    Tuesday: Spaghetti with lamb-sausage meatballs

    Wednesday: Italian-style tapas featuring virginia cured ham prosciutto and pistacho pesto

    Thus: Salad and Leftovers night

    Menu: Is it spring yet?

    OK, this winter thing is getting a bit old. This was eat-down-the-freezer week, 'cuz once fresh food is available again, it won't be a high priority.

    Saturday: We team-cooked with Joe and Erin on a quest for a tasty, fancy pescetarian mean. We ended up with Jose Andres' Tuna Stew with an olive oil and egg yolk foam.

    Monday: Shrimp and grits with turnips

    Menu: Winter Desperation Week

    In which we bring out the big guns to defeat the last few months of winter vegetables.

    Sunday: guiness cottage pie

    Monday (prepared on Sunday): Mike's Potato Soup

    Menu: Asian week

    We started the week with some oysters from BlackSalt, and then dived in to a full asian-inspired week.

    Sunday was roll-your-own sushi, and we got playful with some fried wonton wrappers and seaweed salads from BlackSalt

    Monday was steam buns using some leftover ham from the previous week, and steam buns frozen after making waaay more than we could eat in this recipe

    Playful sushi

    Menu: Southern Week

    Sunday was glazed ham, using an overly complex glazing recipe which I'd not revisit. The addition of cardamom and other spices was intriguing, but over the top in the end.

    Monday was gourmet mac-and-cheese, abusing the "cheese ends" bin from the grocery to great effect.

    Tuesday was audrey's shrimp louis salad

    We had various combinations of leftovers and winter veggies (brussel sprouts, kale, etc.) the rest of the week.

    We're really tired of winter veggies.

    Menu: Mediterranean

    Sunday started us off with Braised Lamb Shank

    Monday got us making all our various Mediterranean dips, and so Monday was dip night - tzatziki, drinker's choice, and hummus

    Wednesday was shrimp saganaki

    Thus we had brick chicken with salad and dips and grapeleaves.

    Friday we went out the the Columbia Room and Coco Sala.

    Menu: Mexico Week (January)

    After getting back from a fantastic, super-long weekend away for the wedding of some close friends in Mexico, we wanted to keep the ball rolling with a week of Mexican-inspired dishes.

    We spent the weekend gathering ingredients (thanks mostly to the mega mart at University and Piney Branch)

    Lacquered Chicken in Classic Red Mole inspired by Rick Bayless, using this Mole recipe

    Braising Short Ribs

    The first fall menu

    This past week was undeniably a fall week, and the best food options at the market reflected that.

    Mon - Butternut Squash and ginger soup with a sage foam, alongside kale wilted with pancetta, dried cranberries and pecorino cheese
    Tues - homemade butternut ravioli with a brown butter sauce and broccoli
    Wed - More soup!
    Thus - baked sweet potatoes and salad

    Spanish food week: July 18

    Audrey got me a Jose' Andres cookbook for Channukkah, and we've barely cracked it. So most of these recipes are coming from there to put together a Spanish week:

    Sunday: Seafood paella

    Monday: Ajo blanco (a cold almond and garlic soup)

    Tuesday: Chickpeas and Chorizo (via Tex-Mix

    Menu for the week of July 5

    This week was dedicated to staying cool.

    Monday - Grilled Tuna Steak (in a variety of ways)

    Tuesday - Salad night

    Wednesday - We caved and went to Seventh Hill. what can we say, if their chalk menu says "duck prosciutto", we go.

    Thursday - Gazpacho

    Friday - Ceviche with a mango salsa and popcorn

    Menu for Week of March 1st

    Last week was New Orleans week ... not my favorite week. The food is growing on me (and last week's gumbo was pretty delicious), but its still more of a "Jon-week." So this week was an "Audrey-week." I'll call it "California ethnic." I focused on four of my favorite California ethnic cuisines - Iranian, Jewish (...sort of a cuisine), Asian (broadly), and Mexican (also broadly).

    Saturday - Homemade Sushi

    Sunday - Tah Chin (Persian Rice Casserole)

    Nawlins Menu 2010

    In celebration of Mardi Gras, we're focusing on N'awlins style food

    Sunday: Shrimp, Chicken and Andouille sausage [[gumbo]] with dirty rice

    Monday: Shrimp po-boys

    Tuesday: Leftover gumbo and salad

    Wednesday: Blackened Snapper

    Thursday: Shrimp and grits

    Greek Week (Feb 7)

    This past week was a greek and mediterranean foods week. We had our favorite [[Brick Chicken]], a new lamb dish based on this roasted, stuffed lamb concept, but using the leftover grape/port reduction from this recipe, which has been taking up valuable freezer space. Regardless, the lamb didn't turn out all that exciting.

    Indian food week (Feb 1)

    We have a few core Indian dishes we've learned how to make pretty well; but they're not quite enough to fill a week. Each time we settle on an Indian food week, we try a new dish, with ... well, mixed results.

    The new recipe this week was Mughal style lamb (stew) on saffron rice. We substituted fresh saffron pasta from Eastern Market for the rice. It was OK, but not really a "keeper" .

    Indian meal with Naan

    Italian Week (Jan 24)

    Our Arganica order for this week brought us some pizza dough and fresh roasted garlic linguini and some organic cremini mushrooms.

    Our menu for the week revolved around using those ingredients - naturally a pizza (Jon usually prefers to make his own dough, but that's time consuming and very messy), a shrimp scampi with the linguini, sauteed mushrooms, and creative leftover-ing.

    Menu for Week of November 15th

    This week was Indian week. We had a bottle of pre-made "Korma" sauce to use up. As it turns out, paneer is very difficult to find in DC. Yes (the organic market near our house) used to carry it, as (I think) did Harris Teeter. No such luck this time. Had to make a special trip to Whole Foods, only to pay $9 (!) for a box of paneer.

    Monday - Navartan Korma (vegetable Korma - with cauliflower, peas, carrots, and potato)

    Tuesday - invited our friends over for leftover Borscht and Kale

    Wednesday - Shahi Paneer

    Thursday - Leftover Shahi Paneer and Navartan Korma

    Menu for Week of November 8th

    This week was another shot at a "Fall Harvest" menu. Unfortunately, a lot of our dishes just didn't turn out that great. We continue to struggle to find recipes for pumpkins that don't involve pies or ravioli (which we've already done).

    Sunday - Roast Chicken with Roast Pumpkin

    Monday - Buffalo Steak with Brussel Sprouts

    Tuesday - Big Salad with Pumpkin French Fries

    Wednesday - Steelhead Salmon (trout) with Lemon/Butter/Rosemary Sauce, with Kale and Brussel Sprouts

    Thursday - Pumpkin Ravioli with Broccoli and Green Salad

    Friday - Out to celebrate Jon's last day at YSA!

    Pumpkins!

    The local market has a ton of wonderful pumpkins that we're trying out recipes with. This week was the warty "Galeuse d'Eysines," which I think will get turned into something sweet (though the pumpkin fries weren't half bad).

    Menu for Week of October 31

    We have peppers... lots of peppers. And winter is coming soon. Mexican week!!

    Sunday - Grilling (admittedly non-Mexican)

    Monday - Both out

    Tuesday - Chile Frittata Casserole with Enchilada Sauce

    Wednesday - Shrimp Tacos with Salsa Verde

    Thursday - leftover Chili Frittata Casserole

    Friday - Beef Tacos

    Menu for Week of October 25

    Plan for this week was a bit haphazard, but here goes:

    Sunday - [[http://audreyandjon.com/blog/20091025/another-great-community-event-pc-market|Potluck Pig Roast at P&C Market]]

    Monday - Chili (made on Sunday by Jon) + cole slaw

    Tuesday - Big Salad + Baked Sweet Potatoes

    Wednesday - EBLfgT (aka Egg, Bacon, Lettuce, and fried green Tomato) sandwiches + cole slaw

    Thursday - Gnocci with Tomato Cream sauce

    Friday - Jake's B-day celebration in the 'hood

    Menu week of 18 October

    This week we took advantage of the first fall crops to have a harvest-focused menu. We had thought ahead a little and bought some of the staples we'd need at Harris Teeter the week before. So we had no need to go to Safeway, and bought everything for the week at Eastern Market.

    Kitchen World War II

    Our actual plan was to deal with the encroaching fall items (like beets) and to celebrate the last of the summer produce (tomatoes). Throw in a 4-day trip to Texas, a 3-day super-busy conference for Jon, and a desire to eat down some of the leftovers in the freezer as well, and a very ... diverse menu comes out.

    Menu for the week of October 5 (Allied Forces)

    Weekend - American Grill

    Monday: Russian Borscht

    Tuesday: English (ish) Guinness Cottage Pie

    Califood week

    This week we're doing Californian-ish food - sushi, fish tacos, bagels and lox, and a repeat of the brick chicken.

    Kinda-Healthy Southern Week

    Crabmeat Remick with artichoke -- we used a combination of canned and fake crabmeat. It might've been better with fresh lump crabmeat, but not actually worth it.

    Non-stanard Italian Menu (week of July 13)

    Crab Carbonara - yummy, but really would benefit from fresh peas

    Wild mushroom and mozzarella risotto cakes - excellent but a bit hard to form and fry

    Seared tuna salad

    Asparagus and prosciuttio fritatta (we used green beans)

    Mediterranean Week

    Sunday will be grilling lamb sliders.

    Monday will be a modification of this recipe

    Tuesday is Lamb sausage with tabbouleh and tzatziki

    Wednesday, there's an outdoor showing of Buena Vista Social Club that reportedly includes an on-site BBQ purveyor.

    Thursday will be Couzcouz with brick chicken
