Menu
No theme this week - just a really delicious (and easy to scale!) main course with a very cute (and jealous) Panda 🥺 It’s almost Jake’s birthday so the desserts were both for him: honey forward dessert for allergy control and chocolate chip cookies because they’re one of his favorites 🍪
Halal Guys Chicken & Rice Bowls with white sauce
Recipe from Serious Eats inspired by a food truck in NYC. Fresh oregano makes all the difference.
Pita chips, 3 hummus (regular, roasted red pepper, and caramelized onions) and olives
Arrange well, eat well.
Lime-onade
Inspired by the Limonda Fresca Sol Food, made by Jacob. Made by whisking simple sugar, fresh lime juice and seltzer and then pouring over ice.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
My own recipe but with too much granulated sugar since I ran out of brown sugar. Resulted in a crispier cookie (vs chewy).
Vanilla honey yogurt parfait
Strauss Greek yogurt (best dairy) mixed with vanilla extract and honey topped with Elizabeth’s granola (good for big clusters), and strawberries macerated in the same honey (Marshall’s Mt. Tam honey for maximum allergy benefits)
