Highlights from this week…

Corn Crunch is my new favorite Barebell flavor.

A warm fall salad. Shredded red cabbage marinated overnight in Trader Joe’s apple vinaigrette / roasted honeynut squash / super-firm tofu roasted with salt, gochugaru, garlic powder, and onion powder / Sweet Twist apple / cheddar / crunchy yellow peas. Plus leftover bread from Sonder.

We were big fans of these Mila chicken soup dumplings. Served with sauteed cabbage (a mix of red cabbage and sugarcone cabbage with green onions, garlic, ginger, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oyster sauce) and topped with chili crisp and crunchy onions and garlic.

Crunchy chicken salad. Chopped baked chicken, celery, deseeded cucumber, green onion, peanuts, sesame seeds, minced garlic, white sugar, Sichuan peppercorn, and chili crisp. Plus red yams that I roasted and then sauteed with maple syrup, white miso, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

P.S. I posted a day early because we are running errands and doing an easy dinner in our neighborhood tonight, hopefully including a pumpkin beer and an apple pie margarita!
