Veggie Tart

Cajun French: la carotte (la kar-ot) – carrot

 

Tart BakedTonight dinner was to be a veggie loaf with different techniques.  Laurie was going to place a pie crust on an inverted loaf pan, bake then fill.  John was going to place the pie crust in the loaf pan, fill and bake.  Neither happened…was not a good fit.  Instead we decided to make a veggie tart and that was a perfect fit.  We used the vegetables we had on hand and built the pie using egg and cheese as a binder.  The main thing to remember is to season each vegetable to taste.  This tart will take some time since each vegetable is steamed separately, but it was well worth it.

Grilled Eggplant and Artichoke Sandwich

Cajun French:  la farine de maïs (la far-een du ma-ee) – corn meal

 

A loaf of cornmeal and corn bread was one of our purchases at the farmers market.  We only find this bread when fresh corn is in season, so we purchase a loaf every week as long as it is available.  The bread taste fresh and clean and melts in your mouth!

We wanted to make the bread a part of our lunch so the planning was around the bread.  Fresh eggplant, sweet red peppers and tomatoes were also some of our purchases and we had marinaded artichokes so a sandwich was born.  Add onions and we were set for stacking a sandwich.

Island Pasta

Cajun French:  l’ile (l’eel) – island

 

Friday was travel day, so Thursday night supper was going to be an easy dish of mushrooms and pasta.  Yet, like most of our dishes, it evolved and evolved.  Mushrooms and garlic were cooked and pasta was cooking; then we saw the ripe avocado.  Okay that sounds good.  Here’s a fresh tomato; that sounds good also.  The dish was still easy; it just had more depth of flavor to it.

Our newest evolution – Island Pasta.

Mizuna Breakfast Wraps

Cajun French:  l’huile d’olive (l’ū-eel d’ō-leev) – olive oil

 

Finding a new green at the Red Stick Farmers Market was exciting for us.  Mizuna is not a new green, just new to us.  We are sure we have had this green in salad mixtures or other dishes, yet we had never purchased it.  Now that we have it, what are we going to do with it?  Breakfast was going to be a wrap and the mizuna greens sounded like a fit.  Our simple wrap turned into one that was almost too large to fold.

Mais C’est Bon!

Bean Burgers

Realizing we are eating too much animal fat, we decided to take action.  Our reason is based on health concerns only.  We are not becoming Vegans nor or we becoming total Vegetarians.  We will continue to eat fish and seafood as well as eggs.  This action is not set in concrete, so while we will post mostly meatless meals, you may find meat related products at times.

Use any beans you have available.  I use whatever beans I cook for the week.

These burgers are great for any meal as well as snacks.

 

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!
