Just because it's a weeknight doen't mean you can't play around a bit in the kitchen.
Today's lunch is barley with Mint-Pistachio Pesto (a Your Best Recipe with Mint finalist!) and crumbled feta. In Amanda's words: "Kids love mix-ins! And watermelon. Because it's summer, and kids deserve to eat lots of watermelon when it's in season."
We've got a bevvy of Walker-and-Addie standbys in today's lunch snapshot: ham and cucumber sandwiches, a big favorite, paired this time with farmer's cheese and a chimichurri sauce that you'll be seeing on FOOD52 sooner or later. And dessert? Anne Dimock's Genius rhubarb pie, a perfect end to a summery lunch.
Today's lunch is straight from the FOOD52 Shop: a freekeh salad with celery, lemon zest, parsley, and young garlic. It's topped with German ham, with Vermont Butter and Cheese Company Camembert and Greek yogurt on the side. A smorgasboard of cultures all in two lunchboxes! Freekeh is great for kids because it's a starch that not only keeps you fuller, longer, it has nutritional benefits that get lost in other forms of wheat. Let’s put it this way: if Oliver Twist’s porridge had been made of freekeh, he wouldn’t have needed to ask for more. (Walker and Addie like it, too.)
