What's for dinner?

I like the chickpea pasta - don't know if that would work with your SO's dietary restrictions or not.

Start of the pandemic, everyone stocking up (hoarding) like crazy. Pasta aisle like most aisles of food that will keep, totally empty, completely bare, except boxes of chickpea and lentil pasta. Maybe they are good, I've never had it but that's how much people people are sold on it: "oh never mind, I'll just starve in this here pandemic" ... :laff:

Macaroni with tomato sauce and meatballs with apple.

BLT with avocado on ciabatta bread with garlic aioli instead of mayo. With French onion soup, pre-made from Costco. It comes in a frozen single serve portions. There was two left from about a year ago. Basically, cleaning out the freezer is on my list. The bread, bacon and soup have been in our freezer for awhile

Cleaning out the freezer is my goal as well. I am not allowed to buy any more frozen meats, veggies or fruit. I do buy fresh fruits and salad fixings and fluid milk.
You are smart to plan menus to use up the frozen supplies.

Continuing with my efforts to reduce our carbs for SO's sake I bought some almond flour today. (didn't even know that was a thing until I googled low carb pizza dough...) It's absurdly pricey compared to regular flour ($7.99 for maybe a pound of it) but I found a pizza dough recipe that calls for it so I thought I'd try that tonight. If it turns out good the flour will be worth it for the health benefits. And since we previously made pizza with frozen dough from whole foods I doubt we're actually spending more money making our own from this. The real cost difference is the extra time I will have to spend actually making dough instead of just rolling out a premade frozen dough.

I that's the Fat Head recipe, it's not bad.

From the Virtues of Winter thread, there is soup in the cp!

I will cook the rest of the celery before it goes bad with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese.

DH is going to make his tasty polenta with shrimp dish.
