Cooking my way through the Tenderheart Cookbook.

Kale, ginger and green onion noodles

I picked this because these were the veggies I had floating around in my fridge at the end of the week.

The Quick Lowdown:

• Ingredients: All ingredients were either in my pantry or common veggies I’d often had in my weekly box. This makes it an excellent unplanned meal.
• Prep-work: Not much, just a small amount of chopping and preparing the noodles.
• Dirty dishes: Cutting board, knife, bowl for the noodles and a frypan, so not much.
• Taste: Tasty enough.
• Family-friendly: it depends on your family’s tolerance for many green veggies.
• Regular rotation worthy: This is a good choice if you need a quick dinner made with ingredients you’d typically have in your pantry. I’ll keep it in my back pocket for those times.

Tomato and Coconut-braised Cabbage and Lentils

I had some cabbage and needed to use it.

The Quick Lowdown:

• Ingredients: Pretty standard ingredients.
• Prep-work: Chop onion and garlic, cabbage into wedges … so very little.
• Dirty dishes: Dutch oven, cutting board and knife
• Taste: It tasted alright, but it felt like a lot of cabbage
• Family-friendly: See above.
• Regular rotation worthy: No.
