Keeping up lunches this year has been much harder even though I obviously keep making them. At least some of the break this time can be attributed to the fact I was out of the country for three weeks.

Breakfast stromboli, salad, yogurt with jam, apple
Mushroom and rice soup, black bread, salad, orange
Salmon wrap, yogurt with jam, apple
Coconut lentils, salad, grapes

I’m trying to catch up with editing the 15 recipes I have pending so there’s no lack of content but for whatever reason editing recipes is a very droning task for me so I end up taking a lot “breaks” where I also end up writing on watching YouTube videos. Well, at least menus aren’t too bad (this only took me 20 minutes to make and about 5 to post!)

Recipe: Kreplach

Leave a comment

These are really delicious and you can speed up the whole process if you use store brought stock or just make a really big batch and freeze the kreplach dumplings separate from the soup. I do have to admit this is a chore to make all at once and takes a LONG time to come together but it’s worth it for special people or a special occasion.

This is a super simple curry made from plenty of vegetables so that it is really filling. It’s a really dry curry so it’s especially good with some nice chewy bread or even yogurt as a side but it doesn’t end up with a gravy so there’s nothing to sop up. This would work really well as a filling for dumplings / stuffed breads.

This is the last week before we take two weeks in Germany so it’s kind of a weird menu because I’m trying not to buy too many things or leave anything around to rot. Unfortunately that makes it a little low on the nutrition scale also but hopefully it’s not too awful.

I call these blini (because they’re yeasted pancakes) but I had a friend from Belarus recently tell me that these are call oladyi there and that what I think of as blinz are her blini but whatever you want to call them they’re absolutely delicious and they make the perfect canvas for a variety of toppings!
