| Young Golden Beets with their Greens |
During the work week time for elaborate cooking is limited, so my husband and I stick to simple fare. I don’t work outside my home on Fridays, but Bruce often works late, so that’s a good day to cook solo. Wednesdays are always rushed because we pick up our veggies, eat, and I have a band practice. For maximum success in planning weekly menus, analyze your family’s busy and not-so-busy times and schedule cooking accordingly.
I try to use up delicate veggies and anything that is large and takes up refrigerator real estate first. We are having salad on days that my husband thinks he might not like the recipes we’re using. ;-) I found the kind of lemon bread recipe I was looking for in “Cooking by Moonlight
,” but might not have time for it this week.
