Home foodies

One of my favorite things about weekends is planning and preparing really simple, nourishing homecooked meals.

Yesterday S and I got to the grocery store (we always go together - this may be one of those tips we tell the youngsters when we're 90 and they ask how we did it) and found some buffalo wing sauce on sale. We also found lemons. That were also on sale. I know. So exciting.

When we got home, we were on a mission to transform our leftovers into new, tempting dishes with this sauce, these little lemons (that promised to be both "sweet & tart") and all the junk that would go bad in our fridge if it wasn't eaten soon.

Presto-chango, and after a little boiling and simmering, we had buffalo steak & potatoes, and cabbage soup with beans, broccoli and brown rice.

The ingredients may sound familiar, but they felt brand new to us, as we flavored everything with lemon and enjoyed our Saturday evening.

You know the food is good when the cat is curious. Or at least I take that as a complement to the chef.
