What Husband Had for Lunch – Episode 28
Written by Rachel, Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts
For this week’s episode, I tried some of the Italian Sausage from Llano Seco Organic Pork. Is it ever good!! It pairs well with browned butter, carrot, and summer squash in this dish. After I took my first bite, I couldn’t stop eating. I just kept goin’. Then I realized that I had forgotten to take a photo. Whoops. I knew it was good. I made it last week when we had some friends over for dinner. I don’t know why I was surprised yesterday. We ate it for dinner and Husband had it for lunch again today. I love that he will gladly take leftovers for lunch. 🙂
Last week, to go with our dinner I made Joy the Baker’s Nectarine Cobbler (but I used peaches). I was so insanely good. I wished I’d made it again yesterday (and feel the same way today). I want to eat it. It’s amazing hot, of course, but it’s also delicious sneaked from the fridge at any hour of the day. And the butter on the bottom gets kinda crispy and caramelized and oh gosh it’s just darn good. You might want to make it. I want to make it, again.

Small note about the AHO box… In case you were wondering, the 3 kinds of peppers in the large box are as follows: Long skinny green ones are Serano, yellow are Santa Fe, thicker green ones are Jalapeños. (Thanks, Heather!!)
