Seven! by Seven Spoons Tara

One thing i like to do on high spoon days to prepare for lower ones is make my own chicken stock!

What i do is get one of those rotisserie chickens and pick at it over the course of a few days (or you could roast your own, its pretty easy for me but i digress) until its just a carcass.

dump it in a big pot with some mirepoix (thats carrots, onions, and celery, trader joes and some other stores sell it pre chopped which makes it even easier) a few cloves of garlic (try to find one of those big things of pre peeled or chopped garlic they last forever if you store them right) some parsley and other herbs (thyme, rosemary and sage are great) and cover everything with water. bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 4 or 5 hours, ocassionally skimming the fat from the top. afterwards strain all the solids out, let it cool and then keep it in a tight lidded container, and it’ll last for weeks (even longer if you freeze it)

then on low spoon days its a great resource to get flavor and protein. throw some in a pot with frozen pot stickers, spinach and green onions for a super filling and delicious soup, or add noodles and frozen veggies, cook rice or quinoa in it, boil cornmeal in it to make super filling polenta, put beans and escarole with some parmesan, its a great resource to have around

Creamy Beef and Spinach Pasta (5-7 Spoons)

Makes 3-5 portions

Ingredients: 

~3-5 servings of noodles

~1 Ib beef (if you can afford to buy it pre-chopped into small chunks, it saves spoons)

~1 small onion (half a large onion)

~½ to 1.5 cups frozen spinach (to taste)

~ 1-2 tbs flour

~ 2-3 tbs sour cream

~ 1-2 cups water

~ Salt and Peper

~ (Optional) Dry oregano, dry basil

~ (Optional) A splash of red wine

—

1. Make noodles according to instructions on the box. (Tongs are a great way to take pasta out without needing to use a strainer.)

2. Cut the beef into chunks (~1 inch cubes). Dice the onion. 

3. Toss beef onto a skillet, turning occasionally. Add seasonings to taste. Once browned, add onion. 

4. Let cook for ~10 minutes (until onion has softened), stirring occasionally. 

5. If you are adding wine, add it now and let it evaporate. Then, add flour and stir until beef is coated. Add enough water to mostly cover the beef. 

6. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until water has thickened. 

7. Add sour cream and spinach. Stir and let cook until hot again. Serve over pasta.
