- Pasta with Peanut Sauce (above) This one was spaghetti, simmered chicken tenders, and carrots. Side salad not pictured, but it included oven-dried tomatoes.
- While we're talking tomatoes, it's been so cold that I don't think the rest of the cherry tomatoes are going to ripen. I'll probably have to pickle them.
- And back to peanut butter, I made a peanut butter pie for dessert at Chanukah. Dinner was leg of lamb, latkes, and asparagus.
- Breakfast lately, when I'm not at work, is toasted slices of stollen and a piece of fruit. I made a dozen two-serving sized loaves, then only gave out about four.
- Lunch has been crackers with baba gannouj and cheese. There's also a jar of trail mix that I have been very good about not eating all at one sitting.
- Next up, I think I want to make a falafel pie. The jar of garbanzo beans is staring at me every time I open the pantry. I do have a potential soup in mind that would use some, but there's enough in the jar for both recipes. I also have two ripe tomatoes (one Bradley and one Beefsteak) that I can dice up for the topping.
- There's still candied fruit that I didn't use for the stollen. Once it's gone, I'm going to make some fruitcake for myself. Slightly out of season, but still a sweet treat for breakfast or tea.

Leftovers and Reruns
So, now that I finally have time to cook, I'm not making anything interesting. Or, I made too much of it during the holidays and froze the leftovers, which will last me until spring. I also lined up my jars in the pantry and realized that, between preserves and dried grains, I have a lot of food on hand. I should do something with it. That's why this post is just links to stuff I've made before. After four years, I want to eat some of these things again. It isn't fair that I can't have something I like just because I haven't posted in a while and need to come up with something new.
