What do you eat when there is "no food in the house"?


I have to go emergency shopping today! I missed the Farmer's Market last weekend. It throws my whole week off when that happens. I always end up running out of eggs mid-week and finding that I have no fresh fruit left by Friday.

Last night my sweetheart came home late from work hungry and tired and I realized that our cupboards were (almost) bare. I made due with some brussels sprouts of questionable vintage roasted in a cast iron skillet with a small spoon full of bacon fat and then tossed with pasta. It wasn't half bad for a see-what-happens kind of meal.

I was faced with the same dilemma this morning... No milk, no yogurt, no eggs! And then it hit me: Peanut butter and jelly. Classic. Filling. Yum. This morning's version consisted of sprouted rye toast with crunchy, salted peanut butter, apricot jam and a light sprinkling of hot red pepper. Served with Genmaicha tea and some sunshine in the garden... Now off to the store!
