Inside My Fridge - April 20, 2012

I'd planned to go be inspired by seasonal veggies at the Farmer's Market...until my 4-year-old woke up with a fever. Such is life! I am really craving some fresh, local strawberries and I bought some phyllo dough to encase some fresh spinach, but those tastes of the season will have to wait.

We have plenty of things for our Friday pizza/movie night and I also have a spaghetti squash to make this yummy-looking gratin (a Pinterest find, so yes, I do find it useful). It's supposed to be chilly here tomorrow, so I think it's a perfect day to make some homemade chicken stock with my stock bag from the freezer. That means we'll probably do a soup on Sunday, maybe the Moosewood carrot soup with some ginger! 

On the lower right shelf, I have yogurt straining to make it thicker -- it really makes it delicious. That would actually be perfect to top carrot soup, so I think I've convinced myself! I also have ingredients to make a version of this boiled egg/pasta/pesto dinner from The Weekly Greens which I think will be a family-friendly hit with some warm artisan bread (it's hard to see, but my bowl of dough is in the back on the left, bottom shelf).

I am crazy for sprouts this time of year -- they are perfect through the late winter and early spring before the lettuces get going. They add some nice texture and crunch to wraps and sandwiches and they also happen to be very good for you. I grow my own in a Mason jar! and store them in a saver in the fridge (they're on the middle shelf on, also on the right). Super easy!

What's in your fridge right now?
