Sometimes people ask me if I cook from scratch all the time. The basic answer is no, because we do eat some processed food, and we eat leftovers quite often as well (that's why I especially love food that freezes).
Often we end up eating food like the meals pictured above: it comes together quickly but is made of primarily fresh ingredients. So even though they aren't elaborate meals, they have the benefits of from-scratch.
The details, starting top left and going clockwise:
1. Baked tilapia (topped with a little mayo, herbs, breadcrumbs, and parmesan), baked potato, fresh raspberries and salad.
2. Super tuna salad on cocktail rye--mayo, celery, olives, dill
3. From scratch pancakes and syrup, lightly scrambled eggs
4. Egg frittata with roasted peppers, olives, and feta cheese; toast with homemade rhubarb jam
5. Baked tilapia marinated in teriyaki sauce (Alex's favorite), baked potato, stirfry veggies
6. Overeasy eggs, fried potatoes and onions, frozen green beans
7. Baked chicken, noodles baked with water and a chicken bouillon mix I found in a magazine, fresh peas from Mom's garden
8. DiGiorno pizza, roasted asparagus from the farmer's market (my favorite juxtaposition!)
9. Sausage and greens soup (greens from Mom's garden), vegetable oven pancake with broccolli from the farmer's market, strawberries from the farmer's market. (This was the most time-consuming meal, but we had the soup the day before as well, and it was all so delicious!)
