Fridge and Pantry Treasures

There are treasures hidden in the kitchen, you just have to get creative.

I feel like I'm always buying groceries, so I've been trying to use only the items in my pantry and fridge when cooking this week (no special trips to the store, no last minute stop at the bakery) and it's been easier than I thought.  Here are two meals I've made so far for the two of us with the food I already have in the house.

1)  Peppercorn Pork Loin with Lemon Couscous, Crispy Kale and Roasted Broccoli

1 18-20 oz. Pork Loin (I had a peppercorn-marinated one from Hormel)
4 servings Couscous (large kernel size)
Vegetable stock
1  Lemon
1 bunch Parsley
1.5 lb kale leaves (washed, stems removed and leaves ripped into bite-sized pieces)
Walnut Oil
1 head broccoli (washed and florets separated from main stem)
4 cloves Garlic (peeled/smashed)
Garlic powder (to taste)
Kosher salt (to taste) 
This next dish put the leftover couscous to use. No pics because Chris and I literally stood in the kitchen and ate it all gone.  (Spicy and creamy and oh-so-good!)

2) Pretty Peas Curry with Couscous

1 TBS Butter
2 tsp Kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1 TBS Curry powder
1 TBS Garlic powder
1 TBS Brown Sugar
2 TBS Tikka Paste
2 TBS tomato paste
1 15 oz. can chick peas (drained)
1 cup frozen or fresh green peas
1/2 cup Crème fraîche (Alouette has a 7 oz. tub that's easy to find in the dairy section)
1 cup Leftover couscous
Rice/Naan for serving 
What tasty treasures are waiting in your pantry/fridge?
