What's for Dinner, Sat., Mar. 2, 2024

It is rainy and overcast here, so soup seems a good option. I found a recipe for Cannellini Soup with Gremolata.

To go with it, cornbread with jalapenos and cheddar cheese bits in it. That will be warmed in the oven.

I might make a small garden salad with a few additions to it, like radishes (red) and onions.

One of my kombuchas that I stayed up until 2 a.m. bottling. Pic below. I made several flavors: pineapple, pineapple-mandarin, and strawberry.



Dessert will be decaf coffee and low-carb chocolate chip cookies.

So got a roast and some potatoes, carrots and onions and dropped them in the oven. Will have that and a side salad a bit later.

I’m out of the pesto vinaigrette but have a bottle of lime jalapeño vinaigrette. The fish is marinating now.

I have a can of chickpeas and will figure something out with those.
Corn for the veggie. As I type here, I’m thinking fish tacos with homemade corn tortillas and a refried bean-like spread with the chickpeas. Some thin shredded cabbage for a little crunch? That actually sounds pretty good, we’ll see how it goes!

No cake last night, going to a meeting at 6 and hope springs eternal.

I'm going to need a quick trip to the grocery store first for some swiss cheese, I think.

How do you flavor your kombucha, Cher?

13. How I flavor kombucha

So far I've used my blender and my manual citrus juicer.

When the kombucha is ready (it takes about a week to ferment), it is bottled up. I leave a little space at the top and put whatever my flavor is in. Then I close the top of the bottle and let it sit in the frig for about 3 days. Sometimes I just drink it early, though.

On the pineapple mandarin, I cut off the pineapple rind and got my mandarin juice from fresh mandarins. Mixed everything in the blender, added it to the bottles, and that was it!

However, I have a few kombucha cookbooks I'm going to consult to see if I'm missing any tricks.

I just bought some blueberries and kiwi fruit to experiment with next!
