Tasty Friday

Hi!

Here's what we ate last week.

• Thurs- Leftovers- N had dinner in town after Pokemon & C spent night at friend's- there was no school Friday!
• Fri- Hamburger Enchilada Casserole, "Super Veggie" Pre-made Kale Salad. Usually when the kids are home for the day, I don't feel like cooking dinner, but this came together fairly easily.  I used only black beans for my part of the casserole.  Everybody liked it, and we have leftovers that I froze!
• Sat- Homemade Pizza- I told the kids, "This is my best dough yet!".  N said, "You say that every week."  And I replied, "Because every week it's getting better!"
• Sun- Asian Chicken Soup.  I made the broth like the Bone-in Chicken Soup.  I used seasoned rice vinegar (about 2T) and found it a bit too vinegary.  I also used veggies we had in the crisper and no noodles. K & I liked it, but the kids just kinda thought it was ok.
• Mon- Salmon Soft Tacos, Quinoa, Krispy Kale
• Tues- Tuscan Beans (All About Vegetarian Cooking, pg 85), Rice.  Our rice cooker that we got when we lived in Dallas in 1996 finally broke.  I'm kinda looking for a new one....  I made instant brown rice on the stove-top, but it didn't cook all the way so then I had to microwave it.
• Wed- Spicy Tomato Peanut Kale Pasta (La Dolce Vegan, pg 134), Green Beans.  I used canned chopped tomatoes with spices instead of the tomato juice.  I also blended the tomatoes and kale together to chop the kale.  I think I was the only one who like this!
