Yum and yum, I subscribed to the blog, ty for the link!

I'm making, Shish Taouk, Lebanese rice, (a)hummus plate, pita, & Greek salad

I had chicken on a bed of basmati rice with mango salsa and red/yellow/orange pepper strips as well as pineapple spears on the side.

I ate a little earlier than usual, because I was excited to eat the first round of this year's asparagus! I steamed bite size pieces of asparagus and then folded them into my scrambled eggs along with some smoked cheddar cheese. Two strips of bacon, and two slices of sprouted wheat sour dough toast, with some raspberry jam completed the party my tastebuds had. Yum!

I'm having chicken cordon bleu with rice pilaf and broccoli.

I'm trying to be good with the veggies...

I so relate to this! We now decide on Friday night/Saturday what we're going to eat Monday through Friday, make a list of ingredients, buy and prep Sunday night. It took us maybe an hour and a half to shop, and two hours to prep Sunday.

Biggest life saver was a basic seasoned chicken breasts in the crock pot for six hours, then shredded and froze what we weren't going to use for the rest of the week. Also chopping up all the salad and carrots and putting into gallon size bags in the fridge.

:goodluck:

Tonight dinner was homemade vegetarian chili.

Leftover spaghetti chicken but I made sweet potato casserole to go with it and sweet tea to drink

Roasted chicken sandwich
boiled peanuts
Rocky Road ice cream for dessert

Flounder with asparagus

We had home made chicken soup ala genesis!

Turkey burger and steamed broccoli at the dining hall ...

I was asked for this recipe this morning. So, please forgive me folks for posting it again. This is for the sweet potato and lentil chili.

ingredients

1 onion, diced
1-2 bell peppers, diced
3-4 sweet potatoes, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can northern beans
1 (15-ounce) can diced or crushed tomatoes
1 can rotel
1 1/2 cup lentils
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place everything into a crock pot, stir and cook 6-8 hours on low

.
just as a side note if you don't have veggie broth ...just use a can of crushed tomato. Don't have green bell peppers...use what ever color you do have. If you want a change add some corn as well. That's one of the great things about chili...if you need to you can change things around a little. The chili powder, cumin, cayenne ratio is what I find to be the key to a good chili

grilled steak
leftover mashed sweet potatoes
steamed broccoli

I'm not sure....I'm not feeling very well today. So, maybe a broccoli, onion, and cheese quiche

My roomie made excellent chicken noodle soup. I scarfed that dow., then had some red pepper hummus n multi grain pita...

- Grilled chicken
- penne pasta with vodka sauce
- salad with romaine, radicchio, carrots, almonds, apples, and pomegranate dressing

Texas chili......extra spicy :)

Linguine in a marinara sauce and an Italian sausage patty with provolone cheese melted over it.

Spaghetti squash with parmesan and olives.
