I have been on summer vacation for the past two weeks now and have probably cooked one time. There are a couple of reasons for this–but not really any good ones. I haven’t blogged because I haven’t been cooking–but I also haven’t been blogging because one of my students dropped my camera on the last day of school and broke it. Excuses, excuses. No blogging, no camera, no homemade meals…
I have been eating out way too much as a result. This. Needs. To. Change. Today.
Camera or not, here is a blog post and camera or not I will be posting recipes and attempting pictures with my phone.
Yesterday, we finally went grocery shopping. Here’s what I got:
- pizza dough
- olives
- cherry tomatoes
- basil
- mozzarella
- regular tomatoes
- chicken breasts
- hamburger
- ciabatta bread
- mushrooms
- green onions
Here is a tentative plan:
Feta Rice Stuffed Tomatoes I will hollow out some tomatoes and stuff them with a feta rice dish that I made earlier this week. (Feta rice: 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of stock, cumin, mexican oregano, garlic, a large handful of corn, 1 onion, some feta cheese. Saute the spices, garlic, and onion. Add the rice to the pan and toast it for a minute or so. Add the liquid, corn, and feta. Cover with a lid and cook until rice is tender.) After stuffing tomatoes, I will bake them in the oven at 400 degrees until they are bubbling and done.
