I am officially in love with this woman, who I discovered via 30 Bucks a Week:
So, much so that I cooked a variation on this meal last night. A few (I suppose luxurious) variations, based on the contents of my kitchen: I used chicken stock instead of water and fennel instead of peas. This really made it taste like a homier version of one of my staples--pasta with braised onions and fennel. This afternoon I recooked the leftovers casserole-style for lunch.
I added M.F.K. Fisher's salmon pancakes, from How to Cook a Wolf, which consist of tinned salmon with a couple of eggs and parsley. My oldest daughter loved these--she ate a bunch of them.
I'm not sure that as cooked (or together!) these really were the most economical meals (and economical really matters for me this week), but I see the potential. The pasta could have stood on its own and Fisher certainly would recommend serving the salmon pancakes with toast and a baked apple-it's all about toast and baked apples with her.
