Recipe roundup, August 2015

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, but I've still been cooking! Because food is more expensive in DC/Virginia, we've been eating at home a lot, and also trying to eat more cheaply.

Firstly, I've been making a lot of smoothies and overnight oats for breakfast. Made a delicious smoothie today with frozen peach, banana, and ginger; milk and yogurt; and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Lunches have been a lot of lentil and chickpea dishes. In no particular order:

Spanish Chickpea and Spinach Stew with Ginger
  • I had sort-of made this before, but this time I actually followed the recipe and it turned out great!). Served with brown rice.
Curried Lentils
  • Made with garam masala instead of curry powder.
Cucumber Chickpea Salad with Lemony Tahini Dressing
  • The tahini and olive oil whip up into a mayo-like dressing! Great with pita.
