making it with what you got

we only have one shelf in the fridge and pantry each here at the bonny doon.

so i dont have tons of ingredients to choose from all the time. we're keeping it simple. it's nice.

here was a surprisingly delicious meal, the highlight being the last of our week's arugula and spinach from the CSA. yes a box of veggies is delivered to our house each thursday for us to share! it's amazing.

-1 box annie's mac and cheese (white cheddar)
-lots of arugula and a little spinach
-onion
-garlic
-fresh oregano
-oil
-cashews

saute chopped onion and sliced garlic in oil in a cast iron pan. add the spinach, arugula and oregano, and give it just enough time to wilt. season w/ salt/pepper.

plop a serving of mac/n/cheese on the plate
add a big dallop of the greens
sprinkle some crushed toasted cashews on top.

caleb loved it. it's pretty and delicious! one of those quick but yum meals when you dont have time or much in the fridge.
