Report on your result along with the recipe if you both enjoy it. My last effort at bean burgers eventually got thrown out as it looked too much like dog waste.Quote:

I made a salad last night, but added some leftover quinoa, feta, & avocado in addition to my usual lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, green olives & black olives. It was really good!
I think that lentils have health benefits that other foods do not, and particularly for my husband, who eats too much salt and too few vegetables and too many preservatives and too few lean meats and too many processed foods, lentils are a nice option.Quote:

As for me, I love lentils--I think they are satisfying and versatile and a good source of fiber.
Leftover vegetable stir-fry with grapes. Going to make some applesauce and carrot minimuffins for a serving of starch.
Lentils are one of the top if not the top foods in antioxidants. But they are boring, yep not their fault but they are b-o-r-i-n-g. Still my bf eats whatever I make and sometimes that's lentil soup and sometimes he makes lentil soup (sometimes I add a small amount of lamb or beef, to the horror of vegans everywhere).
As for quinoa, avocado and feta I make this often, but when more stuff is in season. Tomatoes now are sorry winter tomatoes etc..

Probably an eggplant variation on loaded potato skins. I meant to make it for a socially-distanced outdoor gathering this weekend but we moved up the time of that event to accommodate an ice/snow storm (which, it turns out, skipped us) and I didn't have time to make it until now. DW is visiting her mom at the LTC facility.
Tasty steak bites and mushrooms with balsamic vinegar, baked potatoes and veggies. Happy to have leftovers!
That looks delicious and right up my alley.Quote:

Cheese tortellini with marina sauce and fresh cut up vegetables. It was very good for something different.
Potato chips. A long day and stressing over my car will do it to me.
Sausage, 1/2 potato and onions with large cup of mixed cooked veggies and an apple
I'll be doing a big pot of soup: cabbage, green beans, onion/garlic, frozen tomatoes stewed and pureed, carton of chicken broth and some tomato paste if needed for a bit of thickening. This will be lunches/snacks for the next 3 days. For me it will likely be brunch with some crackers. (Hubster still likes 3meals/day).
Thursday: grilled chicken, bakes potato and roasted squash.
Friday: Eggroll in a bowl.
Then it's time to go to the store. All fresh veg will be gone!
I was glad I put together a big salad earlier, because by the time I got home from the vaccination fiasco, I was pretty much focused on wine. So fortunately, I had a nice salad to go with it.
Same thing as yesterday, homemade chicken noodle soup.
Chili because it's "chil-i" outside (that stretch each winter when it barely gets above 0*F for a week or two).
Taboule and kidney beans with melted cheese on top.
Beef stew, asparagus salad and sourdough rolls.
Beef tacos from left over ingredients from beef tacos I made last weekend.
Eden Foods Veg Chili and Dearborn Pierogis, now if that is not a Michigan based dinner;)
Spinach fettucine with tomato sauce and shredded cheddar cheese.
DH made navy bean soup. That's one soup I've never had.
Especially good with ham!!!! yumQuote:

Egg pie I will search for that. Never heard of it.Quote:

I made something that was very good using hash browns as crust. Is this similar?Quote:

Just found a bunch of "dump" casserole recipes that I may try throughout the week, but today will be chicken and broccoli casserole over rice.
Steak and shrimp (kinda like surf n turf), raw fried potatoes, kale salad with date bars for dessert.
Cauliflower with feta.
