catch up: February 3-6
We ate some pretty simple meals at the beginning of the week, so I forgot to take pictures.
Saturday night we did salad and leftover twice baked potatoes from Friday night. The greens were organic, the carrots and dressings still leftover from Tday 2, the green pepper local, the egg slocal. It took 15 minutes of hands off time to boil the eggs, and 15 minutes of hands on time to put together the salads and microwave the potatoes. Quick and easy; there’s something to be said for simple meals and leftovers.
Sunday night we did enchiladas. I skipped the potatoes this time, and just did all beef. The sauce, instead of being a cheat with a bit of jarred sauce, was half a can of organic tomato puree with half a package of fajita seasoning and a little water thrown in. Total cost was about $7.50 for the batch (more beef and cheese than the last batch of enchiladas) which made dinner 2 nights for each of us, and lunch today for Jeff, so $1.50 a serving.
Supper Monday night was leftover enchiladas. I got out of class at 9, and it was very nice to just walk in the house, pull the Pyrex out of the icebox, and have dinner 5 minutes later. I think planning leftovers may be a strategy to stick with - along with using the crock pot - for Monday night this semester.
