What's for Dinner?

Now that we have been back for a week I'm getting back on track with cooking at home. This week we had a lot of bean free chili.  I used lean hormone free ground meat and then I used antibiotic free range ground turkey too.  We also had an Asian flavored flank steak stir fry.  We tried kelp noodles for the first time and they are awesome.  We use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce and we used the juice of an orange. The last bowl of roasted red pepper pumpkin soup was consumed!  It was from the pumpkin we roasted over Veterans Day.  We had pureed the pumpkin and froze a lot of it.  It made two huge batches of soup.  We use almond milk to make our soup creamy.

For dinner tonight I plan on making black bean burgers without buns, corn, and sauteed spinach. The store didn't have any fresh corn so I'm steaming some frozen corn. For tomorrows dinner I'm making some couscous. I want to add in tomato, zucchini, cucumber, onion, red pepper, and cilantro. I have to go check the veggie garden to see if I have tomato and zucchini :) Friday I want creamy avocado; white bean wraps t...

Weekly menu ideas

I've been wanting lasagna but now I'm thinking pastitsio instead with a salad I also want to make Carla Hall's cauliflower soup. It was really good. We went to a cooking demo with Carla the day after Valentine's Day. I think I should make chicken to go with it We will be eating some leftovers this week!
