It was a "keep it simple" week at our house this week, with not a lot of fussing going on in the kitchen.
We had quite a number of eggs on hand and wanted to use them up so they made their way into several of our meals.
I had quite a bit of whey saved from yogurt making so I used it to make waffles for the freezer.
We're continuing to make the best of locally available winter vegetables, but I was delighted to see a very good price on red peppers ($0.88/lb) at the farm market. They were a welcome change to our routine.
Our freezer stock of peppers was getting low so I also sliced and froze several pounds. I'm sure they'll come in handy.
