I arrived in NYC for the 40th annual IACP conference and things are off to a great start!  I have already snuck off for a few great meals (Okonomi and Loring Place) and connected with some food friends.  I haven’t forgotten about planning my dinners for next week though:

Meatless Monday: Vegetable Curry (this recipe without the chicken and more veggies), coconut rice

Tuesday: Slow cooker whole chicken, minted sugar snap peas

Wednesday: Picadillo from my cookbook with brown rice or cauli-rice, sautéed beet greens or kale

Thursday: Spring salad with oranges, radish, avocado and pumpkin seed brittle (this could be a full meal if you wanted to add some cooked quinoa and/or feta cheese to the salad), naan pizzas with spinach sauteed in garlic and red pepper flakes and topped with kite hill ricotta cheese

Friday: Asian Steamed Halibut with scallions and bok choy from GOOP, green salad with shredded carrots and miso dressing

Saturday Lunch: Cranberry bean soup

Sunday: Baked asian turkey meatballs and sesame-ginger brussels spouts

 

Here’s what you can do ahead if you need to:

Sunday

Wash/dry greens and herbs

Toast coconut flakes, store in airtight container at room temperature

Salt the chicken

Make chicken or vegetable stock (you can make some stock by re-using the carcass from Tuesday’s slow cooker chicken, see this post on how to make stock in the slow cooker after you roast a chicken in it)

Make salad dressings

Wash and trim snap peas, store in a bag in the fridge

Make the pumpkin seed brittle, store in airtight container at room temperature

Friday

Soak the cranberry beans
