Pantry dinner
Hi all,
Trying to be frugal and heading into a busy week (meaning, little time for grocery shopping). I'm looking for some good pantry meals. I'm fairly well stocked but seem to have an over abundance of canned tuna, various grains (barley, pasta, quinoa, couscous, rice), beans (various colors/types).
Does anyone have good, tried and true pantry meals they're willing to share. Looking through my pantry and freezer makes me wonder why I shop so much...
Vegetarian cookbooks?
I love Madhur Jafrrey's "World Vegetarian". It's organized by food type-- specific veggies, grains, etc. Good read.
What can I bake with shredded carrots
Yes, I make turkey burgers with shredded carrots and zucchini all the time. Recipe was in Real Simple last year, I think.
Swing State Menu for Election Day
We're not really swinging anymore... but you could do beer or fondue, too.
Madison, Cafe Continental
My family likes it. In particular we enjoy brunch there. The wait staff is quite good with kids, despite the lack of high chairs there.
Moms' Night Out in Madison
Lots of Madison posts today!
My friends and I are looking to escape for an evening of fun. $$ *is* an object and we're looking for a nice place to sit, eat and drink (so, not bar-hopping but one place for the evening).
Thanks for your tips.

Ten best things to eat in Boston
Moved from Boston awhile ago, but here's what I miss most:
Avocado soup: Elephant Walk
Pumpkin Kaddo: Helmand
Aush: Helmand
Bloody Mary Bar: East Coast Grill (Does this count, since, officially, I make it?)
Burnt Sugar Ice Cream: Christina's
Chicken in the Pot: Rubins
Lox and Latkes: Zaftigs
Maybe I should've left Brookline/Cambridge more often...

planning an evening of turkish...ish... delights- menu help?
That DM lentil recipe is SO GOOD! A family favorite!
cooked lamb shank
My extra freezer died a couple of weeks ago. I rescued and cooked most of the large amount of meat that was in it, but without thinking much. Now I have several lamb shanks that were cooked in the crock-pot with some onion, tomato and red wine frozen in the (new) freezer. Any ideas of what I could use them for? Shredded up in something? Thanks!
I have some great ground lamb, now what?
Look for Wolfgang Puck's lentil soup with lamb meatballs. My family's favorite!!!
Bakery in Madison, WI (West Side prefered)
I'm partial to La Brioche and (increasingly) Madeleine's, but what's your go-to bakery for pastries, cookies, dessert, etc?
Snowed in-- some staples
We're snowed in and I want to use this time to cook for the freezer. I've got some interesting stuff in the pantry, but I'm a little low on veggies (including onions, which may turn out to be fatal) and staples (no brown sugar, etc). I'm about to get started on salmon patties, but I'm looking for more ideas. Thanks.
Good chow on west side of Madison WI?
The Great Dane has an outpost on the West side-- at Hilldale Mall. Mark M, if you're not able to go downtown, Hilldale may not be a bad place to check out-- Great Dane, Sushi Muramoto and a few other (not as terrific) places.
favourite meatless lentil recipes
try plain with a dollop of Major Grey's Chutney thrown in at the end of cooking! Heaven.
Menu help please-- starting with salmon chowder?
Hello, I'm having fish-eating vegetarians (pescetarians?) over for dinner this weekend. I was thinking about starting with a salmon-potato chowder, but then got stuck on a main course:
Stuffed peppers? Is that too "starchy" with a potato soup and then rice stuffed peppers?
Something noodle-y? Same starchy problem?
There's always the option of starting with a different soup and going with salmon as a main course, I guess, but this soup is particularly yummy!
Thanks for your help.
looking for parve dairy free cookies that are in supermarkets
Try Natural Ovens-- made in WI, hashgacha from the CRC in Chicago. www.naturalovens.com, if not in your supermarket. Not cheap, but quite good.
Great food that freezes well
I'm due with baby #2 in a couple months and have some time now to fill my freezer. My family likes to eat, keeps kosher (so no milk and meat mixing, please) and is used to interesting/ethnic/etc foods. I have access to good grocery stores, less access to decent ethnic markets and I'm looking for things that freeze well and can be pulled out and reheated with a day's notice. Thanks!
looking for a reasonably priced, delicious restaurant in boston....
We moved a couple of years ago, but my favorites were Oleana and Helmand, both good food and very reasonably priced. Both are in Cambridge, actually.
Soup/Stew ideas for tonight's dinner?
ps-- tomato barley is terrific with crusty bread and strong cheese. One of my family's favorite Sunday dinners.
Soup/Stew ideas for tonight's dinner?
I'd say tomato barley (I make a simple one, it's probably google-able, with canned whole tomatoes which you crush-- good for getting aggressions out-- water, basil, dill, garlic and onions) or mushroom barley. Both easily made vegetarian, too.
Please help me find a place for 15 on Fri in Harvard Sq
Does it HAVE to be Harvard Square? If you could venture out, I'd say East Coast Grill or Helmand would meet your needs. Harvard Square is, by far, the worst Cambridge neighborhiid to be eating in...
Yikes, a vegan for dinner
i often make peppers stuffed with spanish rice and black beans for vegans and vegetarians (I add cheddar cheese on these). A nice green salad with interesting additions, some decent bread and margarine make a nice meal.
Looking for exciting Cranberry Sauce Recipe
Epicurious, I believe, has a cranberry, fig and port recipe that is outstanding and simple-- my husband makes it as his (only) Thanksgiving dish!
need suggestions for vegetarian "regional" food ++
New Orleans has red beans and rice, which is traditionally not vegetarian, but certainly easy to make that way. I second the fried green tomatoes idea for the South. Boston has baked beans and clam chowder-- could you make corn chowder?
