Meal Planning Monday - 8.09 to 14.09

Aaaand we're back! Well, sort of. Our bodies are still somewhere over the mid-Atlantic and our souls are probably even further back, missing the family and the beaches of Brazil. But the mind is being slowly dragged back, kicking and screaming, to the impatient clients, the piles and PILES of laundry, the conundrum of where to get yet more clothes and shoes to fit a toddler who seems to have ballooned in every direction over the summer. Sigh.

Perhaps the best way to get both body and soul to catch up with the realities of everyday life is through lovely, healthy food. We're in a good place, here in Milan. We might not have beaches or papayas as big as your head growing on our doorstep, but at the weekly market I did find these:

Fresh porcini mushrooms. Another few weeks and the season will be over for another year, so I bought a huge bag and I've been scouring the internet on how to best keep them. Some of them will be turned into this yummy-sounding sauce, and I think I'll slice and freeze the rest raw. If you have any good porcini recipes, I'm all ears!!!

Otherwise, it's as many vegetables, pulses and grains as we can cram in this week, to offset all the holiday indulgence of the past 6 weeks...
wholemeal pasta with sundried tomato & mozzarella sauce
leek & potato soup with grilled cheese & gherkin toast
tomato & bean soup and leftover pasta frittata
savoury tartlets with porcini mushrooms and quartirolo cheese
polenta with porcini mushroom & white wine sauce
soba noodles
with prawns & ginger dressing

Yeah. I think we're just about back :-)
