Go-To Vegetarian Meals

A friend of mine is starting to do Meatless Monday's and is looking for some recipes to serve as a jumping-off point. I recommend liking the Vegetarian Times and Eating Well Facebook pages to get inspiration delivered straight to your news feed. In the meantime, here are a few of my favorites-

INDIAN-
We have a rice cooker, so these indian meals are very easy to serve over brown rice-
Lal Dal (Red Lentils)- substitute a can of Ro-tel tomatoes for the fresh tomato and green chili to make this an easy, weeknight meal.
Quick Curried Chickpeas

ASIAN-
Mongolian Stir-Fry- use the fried tofu technique for any of the following recipes.
Singapore-Style Rice Noodles- you can use any vegetables you like if the peppers don't sound good to you. I recently used asparagus and bok choy instead of cabbage and peppers and it was delicious!
Thai Red Curry- but substitute crispy fried tofu for the meat protein. I recently discovered the Thai Kitchen website - there are lots of easy ideas here!
Sesame Udon Noodles

Here are some other favs-
One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes
Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos
Refried White Beans
Moroccan Spiced Chickpea Soup
Quinoa with Fried Egg and Spinach

Happy Cooking (and Eating!)!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2 ...
