peas at a party

On tap for  Week 4 . . .

• Tiny salmon cakes are a quick and healthy stand-in for deep-fried salmon croquettes.  Serve with yogurt dill sauce, a colorful skillet of veggies, and a sweet, tart spinach salad.
• A simple supper of ham, asparagus and warm, sweet apples comes together in an explosion of flavors.
• It’s pronounced ka-soo-LAY, and it’s classic French country cooking.  This fit and fast version retains the wonderful blend of simple foods—usually leftovers in the original—but makes it manageable for a comforting weeknight meal.  “Traditional” ingredients vary from region to region, but often include leftover goose.  I rarely, okay, actually never have goose, so we skip that and raid the freezer stock for leftover rotisserie chicken.
• Then think Italian with the pesto-stuffed rolls of beef, the gently seasoned green beans, and what just might be the best-ever carrots.

I’d love to hear how the recipes and menus work for you.
