Pablo's menu this week


Our poinsettia outside is turning red, the rain is coming, the tree is up, and our noses are running. It's officially holiday season in our family. I will soon be sharing some holiday appetizer ideas, as well as our Christmas dinner menu. In the meantime, I am in the mood for SOUP! As you will surely surmise from this week's menu... 

If you haven't had a chance to check out my guest post on Karen Le Billon's blog, for ways to rethink the approach to family meals French-style, it's right here.

Also sharing some images from our CSA delivery this week. Love to see beauty in the things this earth has to offer.


Radicchio lettuce, mushroom, baby bok choy, and Washington grown chestnuts
 

Cheeses of the week: Following French tradition, I always offer a little bit of cheese at the end of every meal, between the main course and dessert. Rotation this week: Italian truffle cheese, Gorgonzola, Petit Basque sheep's milk cheese.

Desserts: At lunch, I offer a fruit yogurt (or plain yogurt with fresh fruit), but at night, I prefer sticking to plain yogurt (regular homemade* whole milk, sheep’s milk, goat's milk and Greek yogurt for extra protein) to avoid too much sugar before bedtime.

If you would like a particular recipe on the menu, feel free to contact me! (I marked with a * the recipes that will be the topic of upcoming posts).
