As many of you know (apologies to those who are learning this for the first time), Katherine passed away July 12, 2022 from a breast cancer recurrence. Since then I have been keeping the website running and I officially purchased Cook With What You Have in December.</p> 241<p> </p> 242<p class="p1">Katherine’s passing is a great loss for her family, for so many of you who knew her, and for me personally. For those who didn’t know Katherine well, here is her <a href="https://obits.oregonlive.com/us/obituaries/oregon/name/katherine-deumling-obituary?id=36273090"><span class="s1">obituary</span></a> and <a href="https://slowfoodusa.org/remembering-katherine-deumling/"><span class="s1">some reflections</span></a> from her time at Slow Food USA. You can also look back on the countless beautiful <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/blog/"><span class="s1">blog posts</span></a> written by Katherine going back to when she started Cook With What You Have in 2009.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> 243<p> </p> 244<p class="p1">Katherine meant so much to so many –
244 she was a beloved family member, friend, businesswoman, community member, teacher. To me, she was my boss, a mentor, and a good friend. In 2018 she took me under her wing as an intern during my final year of graduate school for nutrition. I moved into a part-time position after I graduated, focusing on recipe testing and development and helping out with marketing and admin. From the very beginning, Katherine was open and trusting with me. She freely shared her passion and knowledge for cooking seasonally and locally. She enthusiastically welcomed my ideas and new recipes. She opened her home and never let me leave without a slice of freshly baked bread or a container of leftovers.</p> 245<p> </p> 246<p class="p1">There are so many things that are now part of how I cook and live that came from Katherine. The bed of herbs I planted and cook with regularly, the CSA my family gets, storing produce in the leftover bags from my Grand Central Bakery bread, a pot of beans simmering on the stove, the way I chop garlic, and so much more… I feel incredibly grateful to have known and learned from Katherine. When she passed, the decision of the future of Cook With What You Have was not taken lightly. The website is a rich and valuable resource that many people depend on, and Katherine’s husband Brian and I wanted to see it continue.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> 247<p> </p> 248<p class="p1">I purchased Cook With What You Have to help ensure Katherine’s work lives on and continues to help people cook with flexibility and joy. I’m excited to continue Katherine’s vision for the website by creating more recipes, partnering with more farms, and helping more people cook with what they have.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> 249<p> </p> 250<p class="p1">A big thank you to Brian for facilitating this process and being so helpful. And thank all of you for bearing with me through the transition and the inevitable bumps along the way.

I use this space for both but since I’m not cooking as much these days it’s also my platform (as it was 6 years ago when I got sick the first time) for more personal matters. Today I feel more like myself than I have in a long time. This afternoon, I should say specifically, as this morning was a bit rough.</p> 268<p> </p> 269<p>These days I sometimes have a hard time knowing/feeling what I should do with myself. I’m often quite fatigued, especially in the morning and go back to bed after seeing my son off to school and making his lunch–yes he could/should (?) make his own but I love making it for him. I do a lot of things lately with or for my son (and husband) that might be considered enabling or spoiling–the kid, not the hubby:)! But the thing is I don’t know how much time I have on this beautiful and flawed planet–the flawed part being the humans that inhabit this beautiful earth–and I want to take advantage of every moment I have to give my son a ride somewhere or make him a delicious after school snack and cinnamon toast before bed! </p> 270<p> </p> 271<p>I also have been writing less because it’s harder to express myself on the page these days. I have lots of–what I think are–interesting thoughts and questions but because of the struggles I have retaining and processing information (thanks full brain radiation!) I am plagued by short-term memory loss. So I regularly have a thought and 10 seconds later it’s gone and unretrievable. This makes coherent writing a bit of a challenge. But I’ve just decided that maybe I’ll write disjointed things and not worry so much about whether it makes sense to you, my dear readers. I want to stay connected and sharing my thoughts and experiences keeps me engaged in the world, that so often these days feels like it’s passing me by. </p> 272<p> </p> 273<p>And I love hearing from you all, your news and random thoughts keep me engaged and hopeful and forward moving. I am committing, with this post, to make my life more interesting by writing when it often feels completely run by cancer and its attendant challenges. And if you have questions about any of what I write, please ask. As you can probably tell I like sharing (not always but often). I’ve also been inspired to write more by <a href="https://www.suleikajaouad.com/book">Suleika Jaouad</a>, author of <a href="https://www.suleikajaouad.com/book">Between Two Kingdoms: Memoir of a Life Interrupted.</a> Her journey with cancer, while different than mine has many similarities and I feel seen reading it. I highly recommend it even if, and maybe especially if you’re not struggling with serious illness. She’s an extraordinary writer and is going through her own recurrence now and her writing has deeply nourished me. </p> 274<p> </p> 275<p>All right dear ones, that’s it for today. More to come soon! </p> 276<p> </p> 277<p> </p> 278<p> </p> 279<p> </p> 280 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 281 282 <footer class="entry-footer"> 283 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 284</article><!-- #post-## --> 285 286<article id="post-21842" class="post-21842 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-has-access wpautop"> 287 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 288 </div> 289 <header class="entry-header"> 290 <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2022/03/04/in-praise-of-mayonnaise/" rel="bookmark">In Praise of Mayonnaise</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> 291 <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2022/03/04/in-praise-of-mayonnaise/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2022-03-04T03:51:06+00:00">March 4, 2022</time></a></span> | <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/author/cookwithwhatyouhave/">cookwithwhatyouhave</a></span></span> | <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2022/03/04/in-praise-of-mayonnaise/#comments">11 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on In Praise of Mayonnaise</span></a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 292 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 293 <div class="entry-content"> 294 <p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/celeriac_dijonnaise.jpeg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21822" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/celeriac_dijonnaise.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/celeriac_dijonnaise.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/celeriac_dijonnaise-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/celeriac_dijonnaise-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 660px) 100v
294w, 660px" /></a></p> 295<p>I grew up in Germany eating a lot of butter. Butter on sandwiches, often open-faced simply in the form of <em>Butterbrot</em> (bread with butter) and <em>Kaesebrot</em> (bread with butter and cheese). Mayonnaise showed up with French fries but butter was king. </p> 296<p> </p> 297<p>Now I find myself not only eating butter but reaching for the jar of mayo more and more often. Do you have celery root (celeriac), potatoes, turnips, carrots, broccoli on hand? Saute or roast and dip any one of these in <strong>Dijonnaise</strong>–nothing more than mayo mixed with whole grain Dijon-style mustard. This is my latest obsession and I’m undoubtedly not the first to enjoy this combination. The classic French <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/celery-root-remoulade/">celery root remoulade</a> employs mustard and mayonnaise in the dressing which was my inspiration for this dish but it really goes with many, especially winter vegetables.</p> 298<p> </p> 299<p>A friend brings me steamed artichokes regularly and there again I reach for the jar of mayo. My mother served artichokes with mayo and I do to this day–no melted butter there! I can still eat three artichokes in one sitting and used to eat even more when I had the chance and a bigger appetite. And come to think of it, Dijonnaise might be a good riff on plain mayo here too. </p> 300<p> </p> 301<p>I’ve been getting a <a href="https://www.47thavefarm.com/">winter vegetable CSA</a> every other week and have been enjoying the variety of vegetables so much and the sheer volume of veg that I eat has gone up. Jar of mayo plus roasted veg and piece of toast (with butter!) is not a bad lunch at all, especially if I have celery root. If you’ve avoided this scruffy root in the past, give it a try in this form.

How do we stay mindful and in the moment when each new text coming in is reporting on a new COVID case? How long do we quarantine, how do we know what to do about any of it? How low are my white blood cells i.e. how serious will it be if I get COVID? No one knows. Chemo is ongoing and I’m pretty weak though my scans are stable and even improving. But the days drag on as I recover between each infusion. </p> 343<p> </p> 344<p> 345I feel unmoored. My cognitive challenges, thanks to whole brain radiation last fall, make it hard to read, or actually remember what I just read. My hands are shaky making cooking and writing challenging, yet here I am! I’m not nauseous, I haven’t vomited in 10 days. My appetite is good. My husband and son are well and care for me in countless ways. The delicious meals continue to show up delivered by smiling, masked faces. </p> 346<p> </p> 347<p>Time stretches like well-kneaded pasta dough. It feels fragile yet full of possibility. What can I do with my late afternoon? By this time I’ve worked as much as I feel I can but it’s not time for dinner. I could meditate. I could always meditate more and I resist, am bored and distracted all at once. When will the mail arrive? Will my son need another snack? How can I make myself useful? There is plenty to do but there’s that stretchy time again. . . It should be wonderful to have so much time but my mind wanders and I check the mirror to see if the 6 eyelashes on my left eye have finally come out entirely. I don’t feel as sick as the bald head and missing eyelashes make me look! I wonder if I’ll ever have hair again–I think I will!:) I keep my wool hat on to stay cozy in the meantime. It’s cold being bald!</p> 348<p> </p> 349<p>And now, having actually sat down to write, even this stream of consciousness, I feel less unmoored, more connected to my fellow humans. I will write more blog posts and hopefully they will include a recipe! Meantime, happy new year! May you be healthy and happy!</p> 350<p> </p> 351 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 352 353 <footer class="entry-footer"> 354 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 355</article><!-- #post-## --> 356 357<article id="post-21574" class="post-21574 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-has-access wpautop"> 358 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 359 </div> 360 <header class="entry-header"> 361 <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/07/28/pasta-primavera-in-mid-summer-yes/" rel="bookmark">Pasta Primavera–in Mid-Summer, Yes!</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> 362 <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/07/28/pasta-primavera-in-mid-summer-yes/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2021-07-28T21:53:20+00:00">July 28, 2021</time></a></span> | <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/author/cookwithwhatyouhave/">cookwithwhatyouhave</a></span></span> | <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/07/28/pasta-primavera-in-mid-summer-yes/#comments">5 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on Pasta Primavera–in Mid-Summer, Yes!</span></a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 363 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 364 <div class="entry-content"> 365 <p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_prep.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21567" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_prep.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_prep.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_prep-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_prep-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100v

For some reason it popped into my mind the other night when I, as per usual, had random bits of vegetables to use up and a hungry teenager and husband to feed. Whatever you want to call it, it’s pasta with vegetables, a little cream sauce with a hint of lemon and plenty of fresh herbs. It really can be delicious! 🙂</p> 368<p> </p> 369<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_II.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21568" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_II.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_II.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_II-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pasta_primavera_II-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> 370<p> </p> 371<p>I could live on salads alone these hot summer days but the rest of my family cannot and I’m guessing some of you are in the same boat. You can halve the amount of pasta noted below and have a very veg-heavy dish to please a variety of palates. </p> 372<p> </p> 373<p>This dish was invented at the restaurant Le Cirque in New York City in the 70s and does not hale from Italy as the name would imply. It’s really also not limited to spring vegetables–though I look forward to making it next spring with asparagus, peas and more lemon than noted here. I imagine a late summer one with sweet peppers, corn, and cherry tomatoes. . . Have fun with it! </p> 374<p> </p> 375<p>White sauce (bechamel) seems to have fallen out of favor but it’s a wonderful sauce and a little can go a long way in bringing together a big pot of pasta–and making that pasta (with tons of veg) something my kid will devour. </p> 376<p> </p> 377<p>Happy cooking, stay cool and I’ll be back with a salad soon!</p> 378<p> </p> 379<p><strong>Pasta Primavera</strong></p> 380<p> </p> 381<p><strong>Variations</strong></p> 382<ul> 383<li>vary the quantity of vegetables to suit your needs–I like a high ratio of veg to pasta</li> 384<li>double the cream sauce if you want a saucier, richer dish–this amount just coats everything and highlights the veg</li> 385<li>add diced, cooked chicken</li> 386</ul> 387<p> </p> 388<p>Serves 4-6</p> 389<p> </p> 390<p><strong>Sauce</strong></p> 391<p>2 tablespoons butter</p> 392<p>2 tablespoons flour</p> 393<p>1 1/3 cups milk</p> 394<p>1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard</p> 395<p>1/2 teaspoon black pepper</p> 396<p>1/2 teaspoon salt</p> 397<p>Zest of half a lemon, or of the whole lemon if you’re a lemon fan</p> 398<p>1 cup grated Parmesan, divided</p> 399<p><strong>For the Vegetables</strong></p> 400<p>2 tablespoons olive oil</p> 401<p>1/2 medium onion, diced</p> 402<p>2 cloves garlic, minced</p> 403<p>6 cups vegetables, cut into similar-sized pieces (broccoli, carrots, peas, zucchini/summer squash, fennel, sweet peppers, halved cherry tomatoes etc. )</p> 404<p>1/2 teaspoon salt</p> 405<p>1 lb pasta such a penne, lumache (above), fusilli, small to medium shells</p> 406<p>1/3 cup chopped fresh basil, parsley or a combination</p> 407<p>Scallions greens, thinly sliced (optional–I happened to have some that needed using in the above version)</p> 408<p> </p> 409<p>1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly for about 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking often, for about 7-8 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in the lemon zest and half the Parmesan. </p> 410<p> </p> 411<p>2. Heat the olive oil in the largest skillet you have over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes. Add the remainder of the vegetables (if you’re using some cherry tomatoes, add those at the end of the cooking time–you don’t want saucy vegetables), salt and saute until just tender, about 5-10 minutes depending on what kind of veg and how much you’re using. Turn off the heat before you think they’re quite tender if they’re going to sit for a while before finishing the dish. </p> 412<p> </p> 413<p>3. Cook the pasta until al dente in well-salted, boiling water. If your cream sauce is quite thick, reserve 1/4 cup of hot pasta cooking water and whisk it into the sauce. Drain pasta and toss with vegetables, sauce and herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt/pepper. Serve, topped with remaining Parmesan. </p> 414<p> </p> 415<p> </p> 416 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 417 418 <footer class="entry-footer"> 419 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 420</article><!-- #post-## --> 421 422<article id="post-21229" class="post-21229 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-

I’m really sick. I actually feel good. The tumors will never go away. There are lots of stories of miraculous healing. There is so much we don’t understand about our bodies, cancer. . . . Ever since I was 18 and my brother introduced me to the <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/tao-te-ching-stephen-mitchell/1012437104">Tao te Ching</a>, I’ve turned to it in difficult times.</p> 433<p> </p> 434<p>Verse #13 has been my rock, particularly the last few lines:</p> 435<p> </p> 436<p>“Hope and fear are both phantoms<br /> 437that arise from thinking of the self.<br /> 438When we don’t see the self as self,<br /> 439what do we have to fear?</p> 440<p> </p> 441<p>See the world as your self.<br /> 442Have faith in the way things are.<br /> 443Love the world as your self;<br /> 444then you can care for all things.”</p> 445<p> </p> 446<p>The Tao is full of seeming contradictions and they no longer perplex me. But real life does perplex me, a lot some days. I’m so tired of thinking about myself, my treatments, my many appointments, my symptoms–are they improving, changing? I re-read this magnificent text and have a moment’s peace.</p> 447<p> </p> 448<p>
448And then I struggle again with not knowing what my future holds and looking inward again because so much of my outward life has changed. Where do I find meaning and joy and connection? Where can I be of service, contribute, be of use? I think humans are hard-wired to want to serve and find meaning in caring for or participating in something other than just ourselves. I’ve recently had the privilege of helping a friend start a new business. I managed a quick <a href="https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/545589447">Tuesday Tip video</a> last week. I make meals for my beloved son and husband. We have conversations about the world, that are not about cancer. These things are life-giving!</p> 449<p> </p> 450<p>How do I find moments of meaning on the weeks where I can’t muster the strength for things like this? On days where everyone else seems to going about their day (and their own struggles, I know!) and the world is passing me by?</p> 451<p> </p> 452<p>I don’t have an answer but this morning’s meditation from Mark Nepo’s <a href="https://marknepo.com/books_awakening.php">Book of Awakening</a> includes this line: “This is the work of compassion: to embrace everything clearly without imposing who you are and without losing who you are”</p> 453<p> </p> 454<p>Thanks for reading, dear ones!</p> 455<p>Love,</p> 456<p>Katherine</p> 457<p> </p> 458<p> </p> 459<p> </p> 460 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 461 462 <footer class="entry-footer"> 463 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 464</article><!-- #post-## --> 465 466<article id="post-21138" class="post-21138 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-has-access wpautop"> 467 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 468 </div> 469 <header class="entry-header"> 470 <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/04/07/love-possibility/" rel="bookmark">Love & Possibility</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> 471 <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/04/07/love-possibility/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2021-04-07T18:00:00+00:00">April 7, 2021</time></a></span> | <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/author/cookwithwhatyouhave/">cookwithwhatyouhave</a></span></span> | <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/04/07/love-possibility/#comments">55 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on Love & Possibility</span></a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 472 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 473 <div class="entry-content"> 474 <p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Salmon_river_spring.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21139" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Salmon_river_spring.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Salmon_river_spring.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Salmon_river_spring-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Salmon_river_spring-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> 475<p> </p> 476<p>Two months ago I was diagnosed with a metastatic breast cancer recurrence. Frankly the details of it bore me at this stage–this stage of feeling better. Two months in I’ve finally settled enough, having experienced what feels like a life-time’s worth of mental and emotional turmoil and growth and pain.</p> 477<p> </p> 478<p>Like last time around I’m embracing what seems like the 7-course meal approach to healing. An amuse bouche of prayer, an appetizer of meditation, a first course of cranial sacral work, an entree of chemotherapy, a side of body work, a palate cleanser of naturopathic supplements, and a dessert buffet of love and support, leaving the sweetest taste in my whole body and spirit!</p> 479<p> </p> 480<p>I have no idea what this new journey holds but with the love and support of this giant community I look forward to all sorts of new possibilities, to getting back to cooking, to keeping this space open and welcoming, to learning from you all and your journeys of growth and turmoil and pain. There is so much suffering AND so much love and beauty in this world.</p> 481<p> </p> 482<p>

He is also precise and thus an excellent baker. He has tinkered with this recipe over the last 8 months and has permitted its public debut here. . . in time for Valentine’s Day, which corny as it is, is also the anniversary of our first date in 1993.</p> 533<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Choc_chip_bars_plated.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20980" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Choc_chip_bars_plated.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Choc_chip_bars_plated.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Choc_chip_bars_plated-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Choc_chip_bars_plated-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> 534<p> </p> 535<p>My son now prefers these bars to chocolate chip cookies. They get crispy and a bit cakey around the edges and the middle stays gooey and chewy if you don’t over bake. The bit of oats–in two forms–dark brown sugar and finely chopped chocolate are all part of the symphony here. I like larger bits of chocolate just fine so skip that step if you’
535d like. If you like thin, crispy chocolate chip cookies these are not going to do it for you but if you’re more in the chewy, gooey camp, make them!</p> 536<p> </p> 537<p>Happy Valentine’s Day!</p> 538<p> </p> 539<p><strong>Brian’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars</strong></p> 540<p>2 cups all purpose flour</p> 541<p>1/2 teaspoon baking soda</p> 542<p>1/4 cup rolled oats, chopped up a quite a bit so that it’s like a course flour almost (omit in a pinch and use 2 1/4 cups flour)</p> 543<p>1 teaspoon salt</p> 544<p>1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened at room temperature, plus more for the pan</p> 545<p>1/2 cup sugar</p> 546<p>1 cup dark brown sugar, <strong>not packed</strong></p> 547<p>1 <strong>tablespoon</strong> vanilla extract</p> 548<p>2 eggs</p> 549<p>1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (he uses Ghiradelli 60%), chopped up a bit (see headnote)</p> 550<p>1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips</p> 551<p>1/2 cup rolled oats</p> 552<p> </p> 553<p>Preheat oven to 375 degrees</p> 554<p> </p> 555<p>1. Generously butter a 9″ x 9″ pan (8 x 8 will not work well) and set aside.</p> 556<p> </p> 557<p>2. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt and chopped oats together in a medium bowl.</p> 558<p> </p> 559<p>3. In a large bowl cream butter with sugars until well combined. Stir in eggs, one at a time and then vanilla. Beat well.</p> 560<p> </p> 561<p>4. Stir in flour mixture until well combined, then add chocolate and oats.</p> 562<p> </p> 563<p>5. Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Level with an off-set spatula if you have one. Brian bakes these on convection for about 24-25 minutes. The baking is a little tricky. They should be well-browned around the edges and have puffed up in the center. A tester should <strong>not</strong> come out dry though. It will still seem moist in the center though they might look over baked. As they cool they will <strong>deflate</strong> in the center and still be chewy/gooey after this amount of baking time, in our oven and with our pan. Darker pans tend to bake more quickly and ovens vary so you may have a little trial and error and test after 22 or 23 minutes if you have a dark pan.</p> 564<p> </p> 565<p>6. Let cool in the pan on a rack for at least 5 minutes, if you can restrain yourself. Cut into bars and enjoy. These bars keep well, better than cookies. Store fully cooled bars in the pan with a plastic bag tightly over it on the counter for up to 3 days. Or remove bars from pan and put in a sealed tin.</p> 566<p> </p> 567<p> </p> 568 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 569 570 <footer class="entry-footer"> 571 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 572</article><!-- #post-## --> 573 574<article id="post-20863" class="post-20863 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-has-access wpautop"> 575 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 576 </div> 577 <header class="entry-header"> 578 <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/01/27/kids-in-the-kitchen/" rel="bookmark">Kids in the Kitchen?</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> 579 <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/01/27/kids-in-the-kitchen/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2021-01-27T19:58:35+00:00">January 27, 2021</time></a></span> | <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/author/cookwithwhatyouhave/">cookwithwhatyouhave</a></span></span> | <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2021/01/27/kids-in-the-kitchen/#comments">8 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on Kids in the Kitchen?</span></a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 580 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 581 <div class="entry-content"> 582 <p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ellis_pasta_byfoot.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20864" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ellis_pasta_byfoot.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="852" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ellis_pasta_byfoot.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ellis_pasta_byfoot-600x775.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ellis_pasta_byfoot-232x300.jpeg 232w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100v

When he turned 13 we asked him to take on this new duty. He’s hung around the kitchen episodically his whole life but the regularity of the last year has been new. I’m working on an article about getting kids (of all ages) into the kitchen and <strong>I’d love to hear how your kids help get food on the table</strong>.</p> 606<p> </p> 607<p>I won’t pretend this year of cooking has been easy on either of us. Some of our worst fights have been on his dinner nights. I don’t know what exactly triggered them but I think it was that I wanted him to take control and he wanted me to tell him how to do everything. We persevered, with one memorable exception where he shut himself in the spare bedroom in the basement and we got take-out and started over the next night.</p> 608<p> </p> 609<p>But things have gotten much more fun and his confidence and evident pride in taking charge and giving meals his own flair is so fun to see. <strong>Fish stick tacos</strong> (inspired by my husband’s childhood meal) are on regular rotation and he makes a mean slaw to go with them!</p> 610<p> </p> 611<p>I think starting more regular cooking activities with him when he was younger would have been a good idea. We mostly baked together in the earlier years and he’d help chop and mix things and set and clear the table. I often just didn’t feel like I had the time to involve him regularly and really give him space. I’m sure he could tell how much I bristled at his pace, mess and incessant questions.</p> 612<p> </p> 613<p><strong>I would love to know how you’ve managed this, what you wish you’d done, or how things have worked out if your kids are older.</strong></p> 614<p> </p> 615<p>And as aside, I made my son an <strong>illustrated cookbook of the dishes he cooked most often this last year</strong> (most are my recipes that he’s adapted a bit or just loves as is). I posted about this book on social media and there was so much interest that I reproduced it in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/its-your-night-to-cook-dinner-hard-copy/">print</a> and made <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/its-your-night-to-cook-dinner-digital-copy/">digital</a> copies available for <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/its-your-night-to-cook-dinner-hard-copy/">purchase</a>.</p> 616<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cookbook_TOC.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-20830 size-full" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cookbook_TOC.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="880" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cookbook_TOC.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cookbook_TOC-600x800.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cookbook_TOC-225x300.jpeg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100v

One of the best things about this year is that I have company in that department now. My colleague, Paige has her palate and talent all over this site!</p> 634<p> </p> 635<p>Especially during this year of isolation with fewer opportunities to meet new people and taste other people’s food, Paige’s creativity is keeping things interesting over here. She’s filling in gaps I’ve had on the site for years, like <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/borscht-with-beets-beef/">Borscht</a>, and a <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/lentil-shepherds-pie-with-root-vegetables-and-mushrooms/">vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie</a>. And she brings her creativity with surprising, delicious and beautiful <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/quinoa-taco-salad-with-escarole/">“Taco Salad” with Escarole and Quinoa</a> and so much more.</p> 636<p> </p> 637<p>As a solopreneur for so many years, having a partner in the kitchen (even virtually) is such a gift. I actually never thought I’d be able to let go enough to have someone else create recipes for Cook With What I Have. Little did I realize how freeing it is to share this creative space.</p> 638<p> </p> 639<p>I hope you enjoy some of Paige’s recipes this holiday season and beyond.</p> 640<p> </p> 641<p><strong>Borscht</strong></p> 642<p> </p> 643<p>While there are many variations of borscht, this version using beets is closest to a traditional Ukranian borscht. It’s a delicious and hearty soup with a nice tang from the red wine vinegar. The soup isn’t necessarily quick to make, but it’s not difficult. If you want it to have the characteristic deep red color, make it a day ahead of serving.</p> 644<p> </p> 645<p class="p1"><strong>Variations</strong></p> 646<ul> 647<li class="p1">Make vegetarian by leaving out the beef and using vegetable stock.

In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef to the pot and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes. Add onion and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

668ding on the size of the meat pieces.</p> 669<p> </p> 670<p class="p1">2. While meat is simmering, heat oven to 400 degrees. Add beets and carrots to a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil. Bake for 15 minutes, then add the potatoes to the pan and toss with a teaspoon of oil. Roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are just tender.</p> 671<p> </p> 672<p class="p1">3. Once the meat is tender, add the roasted vegetables, the remaining 4 cups of broth, the sliced cabbage and 1/2 cup of dill to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the cabbage and all the vegetables are tender. Add red wine vinegar, taste and adjust seasoning.</p> 673<p> </p> 674<p class="p1">4.

With fewer distractions than pre-COVID life, on my good days at least, I’ve been able to find much joy and gratitude everywhere I look–the roof over my head and food in my pantry and family members I still very much love, the falling leaves, neighboring houses decked out with lights and the beautiful moon.</p> 693<p> </p> 694<p>Usually this time of year is filled with parties, concerts and school performances and travels to see loved ones. What are you doing to celebrate and enjoy the season? What new traditions are you starting? Walks through festive neighborhoods? Zoom parties? Distanced cookie deliveries? How can we share the bounty we may have with others? (See below for a few organizations I love to support.)</p> 695<p> </p> 696<p>Lucky for me I get to invite you into my kitchen and peek into yours as I continue to teach live, <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/holiday-treats-sweet-savory/">virtual classes</a>. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how warm and inviting even a Zoom event can be though I’m still dreaming of a smell-o-vision feature or some crazy Charlie-and-the chocolate-factory-type device that c
696ould transport the goodies I’m creating directly into your kitchens in real time!</p> 697<p> </p> 698<p>I’m teaching one next <strong>Wednesday, December 9th</strong> on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/holiday-treats-sweet-savory/">sweet and savory holiday treats</a>. It’s fun to do with friends or family far away as we can all come together in our kitchens in the moment. One of the dishes we’ll make is this <strong>caramelized onion and winter squash galette</strong>, seasoned with sage and cayenne. It’s a winner!</p> 699<p> </p> 700<p><strong>Caramelized Onion & Winter Squash Galette<br /> 701</strong>–Inspired by <a href="https://smittenkitchen.com/">smittenkitchen.com</a></p> 702<p> </p> 703<p>In this version all I had was delicata squash so I didn’t peel it and it worked just fine. I’ve also taken to not peeling butternut squash so feel free to skip that step if a little (tender) skin doesn’t bother you.</p> 704<p> </p> 705<p>For the <strong>Galette pastry:<br /> 706</strong>1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour<br /> 707<span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon salt<br /> 708</span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into
 pieces<br /> 709</span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">1/4 cup plain, preferably whole milk yogurt<br /> 710</span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">2 teaspoons lemon juice<br /> 711</span>2 tablespoons ice water (or just add enough to bring the dough together)</p> 712<p>For the <strong>filling:<br /> 713</strong>About 3-4 cups diced winter squash (either butternut or delicata–no need to peel, see headnote or any other type of winter squash)<br /> 7142 tablespoons olive oil, divided<br /> 7151 ½ large onions, halved and thinly sliced in half-moons<br /> 7161 teaspoon salt<br /> 7172 teaspoons chopped, fresh or dried sage leaves<br /> 718<span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste<br /> 719</span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">½ cup grated Parmesan or other hard cheese<br /> 720</span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (optional)</span></p> 721<p> </p> 722<p><b>For the the pastry dough:</b></p> 723<p> </p> 724<p>1. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or pulse a few times in the food processor or use your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized pieces too. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice and water and drizzle mixture over flour and butter and using a fork, quickly stir it to combine. Bring the lumps together into a ball and knead it for a few seconds just to bring it together. Do not overwork the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 20 (it keeps for 48 hours in the fridge if you’re making it ahead).</p> 725<p> </p> 726<p>2. Toss winter squash pieces with just a little of the olive oil and a half-teaspoon of the salt and roast on baking sheet for about 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.</p> 727<p> </p> 728<p>3. While squash is roasting, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add onions and sage with the remaining half-teaspoon of salt. Saute for a few minutes until onions begin to soften, then turn down to medium-low, cover and stirring occasionally, cook until soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in cayenne. Taste adjust for salt and/or spice.</p> 729<p> </p> 730<p>4. Lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Gently mix squash, caramelized onions and cheese together in a bowl.</p> 731<p> </p> 732<p><b>To assemble:</b></p> 733<p>5. On a floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 14-inch round. Transfer to an un-greased baking sheet. Spread squash, onions, cheese and herb mixture over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Drizzle evenly with the balsamic vinegar, if using. Fold the border over the squash, onion and cheese mixture, slightly overlapping/pleating the edge as you go around.</p> 734<p> </p> 735<p>6. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then slide the tart onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.</p> 736<p> </p> 737<p><strong>

He couldn’t seem to find his usual glass. He walked by my work station and asked if he could have some of mine, which of course he could. . . About 15 minutes later I look up and my water glass is full.</p> 764<p> </p> 765<p>Did my son refill my water glass after emptying it and replace it? Yes. Did he make note of doing so? No. Did it take me 15 minutes to notice because I was deep in work? Yes! Did this make me happy beyond measure? I think you know the answer.</p> 766<p> </p> 767<p>Adolescence is often associated with selfish behavior. Their worlds seem to revolve around them, their needs and wants. I’ve been seeing more glimpses of maturity and thoughtfulness lately. So often our children are also our teachers and his simple act certainly made my day as a parent. It also was a reminder, as cliched as it sounds, of being mindful, noticing the little moments.</p> 768<p> </p> 769<p>These days are hard and fraught with so many (local to global) challenges. In order to show up every day and be of service, and care for those I love, for strangers and for myself, I <strong>have</strong> to find daily moments of joy. Moments of seeing the people around me fully. Seeing them without my baggage of what I assume they will do or say.</p> 770<p> </p> 771<p>Cooking continues to bring me joy and I am interested in how cooking is working for you these days. Can you bring fresh eyes to it? I’ve been in bit of a creative slump but yesterday popped out of it with a fabulous adaptation of jambalaya that was full of vegetables (and a little meat) including a whole savoy cabbage (recipe coming soon). Ah, the little things that make me smile!</p> 772<p> </p> 773<p>The other great joy I have is connecting with people. I’ve started teaching<a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/pantry-tips-simple-meals/"> public virtual (live) cooking classes</a> and have one this <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/product/pantry-tips-simple-meals/"><strong>Wednesday evening at 5pm PDT</strong></a>. You can kick back with a favorite beverage or cook along and have dinner ready by the end. I would simply love to have you “in” my kitchen as we cook and find some moments to notice the little and big stuff!</p> 774<p> </p> 775<p>With great fondness,</p> 776<p>Katherine</p> 777<p> </p> 778<p> </p> 779<p> </p> 780 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 781 782 <footer class="entry-footer"> 783 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 784</article><!-- #post-## --> 785 786<article id="post-19999" class="post-19999 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized tag-chicken-broth tag-chicken-stock tag-leftover-chicken tag-poached-chicken pmpro-has-access wpautop"> 787 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 788 </div> 789 <header class="entry-header"> 790 <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2020/10/06/on-poaching-a-chicken-hungry-teenagers/" rel="bookmark">On Poaching a Chicken & Hungry Teenagers</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> 791 <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2020/10/06/on-poaching-a-chicken-hungry-teenagers/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-10-06T21:28:53+00:00">October 6, 2020</time></a></span> | <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/author/cookwithwhatyouhave/">cookwithwhatyouhave</a></span></span> | <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2020/10/06/on-poaching-a-chicken-hungry-teenagers/#comments">4 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on On Poaching a Chicken & Hungry Teenagers</span></a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 792 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 793 <div class="entry-content"> 794 <p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cabbage_chicken_vermicelli_Salad.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19994" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cabbage_chicken_vermicelli_Salad.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cabbage_chicken_vermicelli_Salad.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cabbage_chicken_vermicelli_Salad-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cabbage_chicken_vermicelli_Salad-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100v
794w, 660px" /></a></p> 795<p>My almost 14-year-old is always hungry and wants meat! We have traditionally not eaten much meat but after my extensive chemo therapy a few years ago I started eating more to rebuild my blood, which I was reminded of yesterday when my son said: “the only good thing that came out of your cancer was that we now eat more meat!”</p> 796<p> </p> 797<p>There are of course other studies that show limiting or eliminating animal products potentially reduce the risk of breast cancer reoccurrence. So, the kid wants meat, I probably should limit it, AND we’re lucky to have access to plenty of delicious and nutritious food so it’s a luxury problem for sure.</p> 798<p> </p> 799<p>Also, raising and eating meat is complicated. Industrial meat production wreaks havoc on people, planet and the animals themselves. And regenerative agriculture can build soil, sequester carbon and produce excellent meat. Who has access to that meat is another tricky question. Much work is to be done to move away from industrial and make regenerative more feasible and the products more accessible. . . .</p> 800<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chicken_poaching.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20001" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chicken_poaching.jpeg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chicken_poaching.jpeg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chicken_poaching-600x450.jpeg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/chicken_poaching-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> 801<p>Meantime, if you get your hands on a whole chicken, poach it, because:</p> 802<ul> 803<li>~3 quarts of rich broth</li> 804<li>Tender meat that comes off the bone easily</li> 805<li>Less messy than roasting</li> 806</ul> 807<p>If you paid $20+ for that farm-raised chicken you can easily get 4 meals out of it, and far more if you count all the ways you’ll use the broth. . . That is if you use the chicken like in the <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/napa-cabbage-and-chicken-salad/">salad</a> pictured above and other dishes where the meat is a component or accent but not the bulk of the meal.</p> 808<p> </p> 809<p>So far with this about 3.5 lb poached chicken I’ve made:</p> 810<ul> 811<li>Thai curry with some of the broth and meat, coconut milk, red peppers, potatoes and basil over rice</li> 812<li>Tacos with the meat seasoned with chili powder and briefly satueed</li> 813<li>Quesadillas with lots of cilantro</li> 814<li><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/napa-cabbage-and-chicken-salad/">Cabbage, vermicelli, salad with soy/fish sauce/lime vinaigrette and toasted peanuts</a></li> 815<li>I still have enough meat left for a couple of tacos or a burrito which my kid will put away as a snack any time of day</li> 816<li>I have 2 quarts of broth left for risotto, soup, pipian, . . . .</li> 817</ul> 818<p> </p> 819<p><strong>Poaching a Chicken</strong></p> 820<p>One 3.5 – 4lb chicken fully thawed if previously frozen.</p> 821<p> </p> 822<p>1. Rinse the chicken and giblets/neck (if there were any) under cold running water and shake off any water.</p> 823<p> </p> 824<p>2. Put the chicken in a large pot with ½ an onion, chopped up a bit, 1-2 carrots, quartered, 3 stalks celery and any attached celery leaves, chopped up a bit. You can skip the celery in a pinch as I had to above.</p> 825<p> </p> 826<p>3. Add 2 teaspoons whole peppercorns; a clove of garlic (peeled and crushed); 2 bay leaves and a couple sprigs of thyme and parsley if you have them.</p> 827<p> </p> 828<p>4. Cover the chicken with water, add 2 teaspoons sea or Kosher salt and bring to a boil. Then lower to a simmer, cover and cook 45 minutes.</p> 829<p> </p> 830<p>5. Turn off the heat and let chicken sit in the broth to cool for 30 minutes (or longer). Remove the chicken and transfer it to pan or a rimmed baking sheet to cool further. Check to see if the chicken is fully cooked and the meat comes off the bones easily and the juices run clear. Strain and use broth immediately or strain into quart or pint jars and refrigerate or freeze for future use. Use it for soup, risotto, sauces like <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/csa/pipian-verde-toasted-pumpkin-seed-cilantro-sauce-with-chicken-or-vegetables/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pipian Verde</a>, etc. The chicken will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up about 6 days.</p> 831<p> </p> 832<p>6. When the chicken is cool enough to handle pull off all the meat.</p> 833<p> </p> 834<p>The juicy poached chicken meat is wonderful in chicken noodle soup, chicken salad, enchiladas, moles, tacos, curries, chicken pot pie, pasta dishes, etc. Alternately, you could let the poached chicken cool for about five minutes and then just pull it apart into the main eight pieces (two each of breast, thigh, drumstick and wing) and serve with the broth and some potatoes and a green salad.</p> 835<p> </p> 836 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 837 838 <footer class="entry-footer"> 839 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> | <span class="tags-links">Tagged <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/tag/chicken-broth/" rel="tag">chicken broth</a>, <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/tag/chicken-stock/" rel="tag">chicken stock</a>, <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/tag/leftover-chicken/" rel="tag">leftover chicken</a>, <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/tag/poached-chicken/" rel="tag">poached chicken</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 840</article><!-- #post-## --> 841 842<article id="post-19514" class="post-19514 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-

So easy! Watching The Office over and over (the 13-year-old that is but we live in a small house so we ALL are in it for better or worse!). Grabbing bags of potato chips every time you’re at the store and going to bed way too late . . . The ruts may not be bad but they may be dull and dulling the senses.</p> 852<p> </p> 853<p>What can happen if you have very little time, a few vegetables, a box grater, leftover peanut sauce, a few herbs? The vegetables are two carrots and one and a half zucchini. I could have made carrots and zucchini sticks and dipped them in peanut sauce but I dislike raw zucchini and that doesn’t really sound satisfying. . .at all!</p> 854<p> </p> 855<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/grated_veg_herbs_sauce.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19516" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/grated_veg_herbs_sauce.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/grated_veg_herbs_sauce.jpg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/grated_veg_herbs_sauce-600x450.jpg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/grated_veg_herbs_sauce-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> 856<p>But when you grate those vegetables (a box grater makes quick work of them and is easy to wash) and saute them for 5 minutes in a large, hot skillet with some olive oil and salt, they transform into something entirely satisfying. Tender, a little caramelized but not mushy AND the perfect foil for that leftover sauce–whatever sauce or vinaigrette you might have.</p> 857<p> </p> 858<p>I still wonder at how a few simple steps can transform something kind of blah into something so good.

This often seems to reveal how we’re going to like it, before going to all the effort buying the ingredients and trying it out. With Katherine’s recipes, we long ago stopped this pre-scanning step. If it looks good at first blush, we know it will be wonderful, and proceed to fold it into the week’s menus. And it always is! Also long ago, we stopped all our recipe (magazine) subscriptions.

The disparities in access to healthy food, health care and resources are exacerbated by COVID-19 and systemic racism in the US. It’s jarring to write about beautiful greens one minute and read about civil rights abuses the next and I want to acknowledge that here. We all need to be well-nourished to keep fighting for a more just and loving and equitable society. In my region the <a href="https://www.equitablegivingcircle.org/">Equitable Giving Circle</a> is directly empowering BIPOC communities and <a href="https://www.salemharvest.org/About.php">Salem Harvest</a> is an excellent model of coming together to support food-insecure folks with fresh produce. <a href="http://www.civileats.com">Civil Eats </a>and <a href="https://foodfirst.org/">Food First</a> and <a href="https://thecounter.org/">The Counter</a> are all providing excellent reporting on local and systemic food system matters.

The quarantine <em>baking show</em> at our house has been pretty intense and this week I actually took a break.</p> 994<p> </p> 995<p>However, there is rhubarb and rhubarb is wonderful. And after a few sweet-free days I couldn’t resist coming up with something quick and adaptable and delicious to share. Luckily our neighbors are still eager to eat the treats coming out of our “inventing room” (please imagine that being said by Gene Wilder in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Wonka_%26_the_Chocolate_Factory">Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory</a>) so I can keep inventing and don’t have to eat it all myself.</p> 996<p> </p> 997<p>A few stalks of rhubarb and a not-very-vibrant-anymore orange inspired this concoction that I’m calling a pudding cake. It’s not quite fruit-heavy enough to be a cobbler and it’s just custardy enough not to be a sliceable cake. It’s a quick affair, doesn’t call for eggs or butter and can be adapted based on your likes. I can’t wait to try it with other fruit, other flours and spices. And if you use a non-dairy milk it will be vegan. Please report back if you make it and vary it!</p> 998<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_plated.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18410" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_plated.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_plated.jpg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_plated-600x450.jpg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_plated-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p> 999<p>Happy Mother’s day to all you mother’s out there!</p> 1000<p> </p> 1001<p><strong>Rhubarb Orange Pudding Cake</strong></p> 1002<p>Figuring out what to bake it in might be your biggest challenge. I used an 11-inch round ceramic tart pan of sorts. You need something bigger than a typical pie pan. I thought a 9 x 13″ baking dish might be good but I’ve gotten feedback that it seems a little big. I just love the look of the round cake here. You don’t want it to be too deep as I think you’ll lose some of the appeal. And if you’re using a round pan be sure to bake it on a sheet pan in case it bubbles over like mine did.</p> 1003<p> </p> 1004<figure id="attachment_18411" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18411" style="width: 660px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_prep.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-18411" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_prep.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_prep.jpg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_prep-600x450.jpg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rhubarb_puddingcake_prep-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18411" class="wp-caption-text">This is what it looks like right before it goes in the oven.</figcaption></figure> 1005<p> </p> 1006<p>Serves 6-8</p> 1007<p> </p> 1008<p><strong>For the fruit</strong>:</p> 1009<p>4 heaping cups rhubarb, washed trimmed and sliced into 1/2- 3/4″ pieces</p> 1010<p>Scant 1/2 cup sugar</p> 1011<p>Zest of 1 orange</p> 1012<p>Juice of 1 orange, about 1/3 cup</p> 1013<p>1 tablespoon cornstarch</p> 1014<p>2 teaspoons lemon juice</p> 1015<p> </p> 1016<p><strong>For the batter:</strong></p> 1017<p>1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (I think spelt flour would be fabulou

Put the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes. The fruit juices should be thick and bubbling and the top golden brown and beginning to crack and no raw batter visible when tested.</p> 1034<p> </p> 1035<p>Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream if you’d like!</p> 1036 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 1037 1038 <footer class="entry-footer"> 1039 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a></span> </footer><!-- .entry-footer --> 1040</article><!-- #post-## --> 1041 1042<article id="post-18337" class="post-18337 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized pmpro-has-access wpautop"> 1043 <div class="post-thumbnail"> 1044 </div> 1045 <header class="entry-header"> 1046 <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2020/04/24/what-works-today-may-not-work-tomorrow/" rel="bookmark">What Works Today May Not Work Tomorrow</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> 1047 <span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2020/04/24/what-works-today-may-not-work-tomorrow/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2020-04-24T00:42:12+00:00">April 24, 2020</time></a></span> | <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/author/cookwithwhatyouhave/">cookwithwhatyouhave</a></span></span> | <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/2020/04/24/what-works-today-may-not-work-tomorrow/#comments">14 Comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on What Works Today May Not Work Tomorrow</span></a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 1048 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 1049 <div class="entry-content"> 1050 <p> </p> 1051<p>How are you? Right now I’m fine. But I need a more robust emotional/mental tool belt these days. Being compassionate with ourselves–all cooped up and stressed out and un-showered and less-groomed and parenting all-the-damn-time and cooking three-meals-a-day–is pretty darn important. The most useful tool frankly is remembering that the feelings–however intense and hard–will pass.</p> 1052<p> </p> 1053<p>I’ve had more moments of not wanting to cook and being irritated at the mundane effort it all takes, the weight of the widespread trauma and suffering in the world, or just the exhaustion of daily technical challenges that suck my soul dry. So I’m digging a little deeper, by paying attention when I do something that makes me feel better. . . sometimes the usual walk around the block, a few deep breaths, or a handful of chocolate chips does the trick. Sometimes facing the fear or frustration head-on, like diving into yet another tutorial on Zoom webinars, actually restores some sense of peace. I don’t want to be afraid of any of it, of the new systems I have to learn and I don’t want to expect to get it right all the time. Some days Zoom feels like a gift, some days like overcooked four-day-old Brussels Sprouts!</p> 1054<p> </p> 1055<p>One thing I have loved is recording more videos for you all–quick 30 second <a href="https://vimeo.com/399995111">Tuesday Tips</a> evolved into far more frequent ones when self-isolation first started.

Still in the clothes you slept in? Back/neck aching from sitting in the most un-ergonomically sound position with your laptop? Stomach growling loud enough you think you have to mute yourself on Zoom?</p> 1081<p> </p> 1082<p>This isn’t a saucy mac and cheese but delicious and faster than homemade mac and cheese and basically as fast as boxed. You apply the pasta carbonara <em>principle</em> to create a light creamy sauce that smoothly incorporates the cheese using no cream or milk at all (neither of which I have at the moment).</p> 1083<p> </p> 1084<p>In this version I used:</p> 1085<p> </p> 1086<p>one egg and one leftover egg white (because my husband’s favorite <a href="https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/03/crispy-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies/">chocolate chip cookie recipe</a> uses 1 egg and 1 egg yolk) but you should use <strong>2 whole eggs</strong> if you have them</p> 1087<p>about 2/3 – 1 cup grated cheese (mostly Parm, a little sharp cheddar)</p> 1088<p>lots of freshly ground black pepper</p> 1089<p>large clove of minced garlic</p> 1090<p>some fresh herbs</p> 1091<p>1 lb pasta</p> 1092<p> </p> 1093<p>You whisk everything but the pasta together in a bowl. Cook the pasta in plenty of well-salted water. Scoop out about 1/3 -2/3 cup cooking water just before you drain pasta. Put the pasta back in the pot. Add the egg mixture to the pasta along with 1/3 cup (to start) of the hot cooking water and stir like mad for a few seconds. Add more cooking water if too thick. If thin seeming put back on a low burner for a few seconds and stir as the egg in the sauce thickens a bit.</p> 1094<p> </p> 1095<p>Et Voila! No clumping cheese, silky sauce, happy tummy!</p> 1096<p> </p> 1097<p>P.S. You could add a glug of olive oil or some butter for even more luscious results.</p> 1098<p> </p> 1099<div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"><iframe loading="lazy" title="&quot;Carbonara Principle&quot; Mac n' Cheese" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/407740748?h=d29d67ab58&dnt=1&app_id=122963" width="1170" height="658" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> 1100<p><a href="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/carbonara_principle_light.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18249" src="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/carbonara_principle_light.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="495" srcset="https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/carbonara_principle_light.jpg 660w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/carbonara_principle_light-600x450.jpg 600w, https://cookwithwhatyouhave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/carbonara_principle_light-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100v

When I find frozen blueberries and salmon, extra butter, stock and bread in the freezer I feel lucky beyond compare.</p> 1117<p> </p> 1118<p>I’m a bit of a homebody and we all know how much I love beans so the advice being dished out in these uncertain times–stay home, cook beans, skip the grocery store if possible–makes me feel useful. If I can cook for people and share all those beans I stock, I’m delighted to do so.</p> 1119<p> </p> 1120<p>Whether or not my immediate community will need to take more stringent precautions, I’ve been thinking about the resilience and also the joy and small pleasures and daily comforts that making and sharing meals gives us. Caring for ourselves and each other, one pot of beans at a time seems like a good place to start today.</p> 1121<p> </p> 1122<p><strong>Leek, Cabbage & White Bean Soup with Herb Stems</strong> (yes, they made this soup so darn good!)</p> 1123<p> </p> 1124<p>I buy a bunch of cilantro and parsley every week (unless I have enough parsley in my garden) and when I’m in a hurry I twist off however many leaves I want from the bunch for whatever it is I’m making. Eventually I’m left with a bunch of stems and a few straggling leaves. I used an entire bunch of parsley and cilantro stems (finely chopped) in this soup and I think it’s what made it particularly good. So use those stems! I’m sure they’d be good in most any soup, just chop finely.</p> 1125<p> </p> 1126<p>This makes a lot of soup and it is even better the next day or the next.</p> 1127<p> </p> 1128<p>You can also serve it over toasted bread rubbed with garlic.</p> 1129<p> </p> 1130<p>Serves 6+</p> 1131<p> </p> 1132<p>3 tablespoons olive oil</p> 1133<p>1 onion, diced</p> 1134<p>2 large leeks, trimmed, carefully washed and cut into thin half rounds</p> 1135<p>3 cloves garlic, chopped</p> 1136<p>2 stalks celery, diced</p> 1137<p>2 carrots, diced</p> 1138<p>4 sprigs thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme</p> 1139<p>2 teaspoons chopped fresh or dried sage</p> 1140<p>Lots of parsley and/or cilantro stems, washed and finely chopped (see headnote)</p> 1141<p>1 small savoy or regular green cabbage, chopped (about 10 cups worth)</p> 1142<p>1/4 teaspoon dried hot pepper</p> 1143<p>3 cups cooked/canned white beans and 3 cups <strong>bean cooking liquid</strong> if you cooked your beans or 3 -4 cups vegetable broth or water</p> 1144<p>1 teaspoon salt, more to taste</p> 1145<p>Freshly ground black pepper</p> 1146<p>Olive oil for serving</p> 1147<p> </p> 1148<p>Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, leeks, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme and sage and saute/braise for 10-15 minutes until everything is softening and beginning to brown. The vegetables will give off some liquid so it will be stewing more than sauteing. Add the herb stems and hot pepper and salt and cook for another 5 minutes. Then add the beans, bean cooking liquid/broth and cabbage and bring to a simmer. If it looks too thick add a bit more water or broth. Simmer for 10 minutes to soften cabbage and marry the flavors. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper and more hot pepper if you’d like. Serve hot or warm with plenty of olive oil drizzled over. This keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days and freezes well.</p> 1149<p> </p> 1150<p>Serve over toasted bread rubbed with garlic if you’d like or with an hardboiled egg.</p> 1151<p> </p> 1152 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 1153 1154 <footer class="entry-footer"> 1155 <span class="cat-links">Posted in <a
