What's for dinner?

[Tradd]

in my ongoing effort to use up food items that have been around for a while, I had two frozen pie dough forms I had to use up.


So in one I made a savory hamburger pie. And in the other I made a rhubarb pie using frozen rhubarb from our garden. Both are a really quite good, I surprised myself.

What was in the hamburger pie?

Veggie soup with beans & rice & quinoa along with a slice of toasted 7 grain bread and an orange for dessert. Green tea.

That sounds so good - and healthy!

I made curried red lentil soup. I have not made that before, and it was delicious.

Thanks! We're trying to do better--we got off the very healthy eating program into a lesser way of eating the past few months and our feelings of well-being suffered so we're back on the veggie/whole food wagon...

Soon off to the grocery store to re-supply organic produce. Organic is more pricey but figure we'll be saving on the no-buy animal protein so it'll be a draw...

Eating Imam Bayaldi - twist on a Middle Eastern classic. This is eggplant fried in olive oil, then added to simmering onion, garlic, tomatoes, and simmer longer. Serve over couscous. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper with fresh squeezed lemon on top. So yummy.

Last night was tilapia with steamed broccoli and wheat berries. Not sure about tonight.

LOL - interesting that I'm not that well-planned for dinners these days. I think it is because I now feel I have all day to figure it out and do it.

We made falafels last night...really like them...used a mix but just found a recipe that I'll try making next time. Anyone else enjoy falafels??
