This week is a great example of how you can prep for the week and still have a great series of meals. I was on the road Sunday to Thursday this week, then spent all day Saturday and Sunday morning involved with a company function.I had no time whatsoever to cook anything ahead. So, I planned a menu that uses a lot of fresh veggies from farm stands and a few items from the freezer.
This picture is of a jar of truffle salt - truly amazing stuff. It's truffle pieces blended with sea salt. It adds truffle flavor to anything it's sprinkled over. I used it in my chanterelle and truffle hash for Sunday dinner.
On Sunday:
- I went grocery shopping.
- I made Sunday dinner.
- I defrosted bread for sandwiches and the bread salad.
- I defrosted containers of chili and of black-eyed pea dal.

Black-eyed pea dhal? Really?
Do you have a recipe? Because I sometimes find lentil dhal a little too earthy and black eyed peas are a lot earthier than lentils...
Ok, I updated the post with a link to the Smitten Kitchen recipe which I, ahem, liberated.
I made a double batch (thus, the freezer) and ended up using a whole 1-pound bag of BEPs.
