Harry and I went out into civilization for the first time this week (we are staying at a small cabin outside of Truckee, CA for the holiday). We had a few errands to run, and thought we'd take advantage of being in town to treat ourselves a meal out. Turns out every other tourist had the same idea, so we retreated home and had this simple, comforting meal.
Chicken Garlic & Artichoke Sausages with Baked Sweet Potatoes and Cole Slaw
For baked sweet potatoes, set oven to 450 degrees. Wash potatoes and score them with a fork in several places. I put them in as is, but you can also rub the outside with oil or butter. They take a while, depending on their size. When you see juices bubbling in the fork scoring, you're close. Check their tenderness by sticking them with a fork. Serve plain or with sour cream.
For sausages we used Aidell's sausages. We should probably by stock in this company we use them so much.
My Mom's Cole Slaw
I think next week I'll have to get more adventurous with my cabbage recipes, as I think I've made this and posted it here before. Thing is, it's quick and easy and delicious... One head cabbage, two or three stalks celery, and one apple, all finely chopped. (We didn't use an apple, because we'd eaten ours as snacks this week. It's still good.) Add in two tablespoons of mayonnaise, a lot of dried dill, and a healthy sprinkling of red wine vinegar. You can eat it right away, but it's best to let it sit for a while.
What's left:
- 3 or so parsnips
- 2 carrots
- 1/4 bag baby spinach
- bunch Dino kale
- 3 lemons
Leftover from the last 2 weeks:
- 12 mandarins
- 1/4 bag arugula
- garlic
