Over the summer, I had a post about food that I had cooked with pictures of said food items. Since I moved to DC about 6 months ago, I've been cooking up a storm, but never took any pictures and haven't posted about it! Therefore, a list will have to do, but I wanted to share with you some of the dishes that I've been making for my lunches and dinners now that I don't depend on the Wellesley dining system (hush, you whiners, I thought it was great):

chick pea salad

chick peas, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and a dash of balsamic vinegar

kale chips

kale leaves, cut into pototo chip-sized pieces, rubbed with olive oil, rice vinegar, and tossed in salt, pepper, and chili powder, then baked in the oven until light and crispy

swiss chard salad

swiss chard (chopped stems and small leafy pieces), avocado, feta cheese, chick peas, and diced beets, sprinkled with red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.

curried kale and chick peas

kale and chick peas sautéed with chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then heated with sour cream and lots of curry powder and a little bit of crushed red pepper; mixed well and then put over brown rice.

soy-marinated tofu

tofu pan-fried in a marinade made of olive oil, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, a dash of curry powder, and a little garlic powder; serve with brown rice.

egg and cheese on a bagel

1 beaten egg mixed with a little salt, pepper, and curry powder, cooked over low heat in a small circular-ish shape; put on a bagel with grated cheddar cheese and some ketchup.

spinach feta pasta

sautéed spinach, tomato, and chopped garlic with a little lemon juice and salt and pepper; put over linguine or penne with feta cheese.

sweet fruit salad

diced and cored apples, halved strawberries, clementine sections, and blueberries, drizzled with honey and cinnamon powder and mixed well.
