ReplyDeleteThank you, Renee.
DeleteI love the "motley crew of items". I think we all have that same dinner weekly using whatever crew members happen to be lingering in our fridges.
ReplyDeleteI think we do too, Anne. :)
DeleteEverything sounds delicious. And so much variety.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I lack most days. Because I don't cook daily, I tend to eat leftovers for 2-3 days, with very slight variations. :)
Thank you, Nil. I love to eat leftovers for days. I made a Taco Salad this week that lasted for two days. Those are the best days to me. :)
DeleteI tired your Lentil Taco recipe and LOVED it! I'm a gluten free, Pescatarian, and it's hard sometimes to find something different, that is easy & tasty! This recipe was so good! (I used it to make "haystacks!"
ReplyDeleteOh, how neat, Barb. I'm so glad you tried and liked it! It's definitely a keeper. :)
DeleteIt all sounds really good-this coming weeks menu as well. I keep meaning to ask. What is the delicious looking food in the picture in the blue pan? My motley crew yesterday was mushrooms and spinach that had to go. I made my daughter a massive potato and egg scrambler-a mock of a Perkins meal.
ReplyDeleteThe picture in the header? Those are individually wrapped slices of banana bread for the freezer. Easy to take out for lunches.
DeleteI struggle to stick to a dinner plan. I wing it with what ever we have on hand. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really understand that, Lisa. We do the same thing at times.
