[Kchurchill5]

Late Again ... It's been a tough morning.
But - Happy TGIF!!!!

It has dried out here finally, but cool. But, NOT cold, so that is ok.

Tonight's Cooking ...
Lady #3+1: Spaghetti squash topped w/Mexican black beans (just a simple spiced up canned black beans), homemade pico de gallo/salsa, cheese, avocado; green salad w/lime vinaigrette and cornbread croutons. (just make a dense thin cornbread, cut and bake in the oven until dry; nothing hard)

Me: Crab cakes (I have a can plus a little frozen to use up) w/avocado corn relish; baby greens w/cucumber olives and Feta; fruit

What's on your Plate?

yesterday I had a stitch-in during the day so last night was leftovers - cheese, crackers, grapes, egg rolls, salad and cookies.

Tonight is fish night with http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/sautee ... h-do-21918 and http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/spinac ... rlic-22653. We are making cookies today so will probably have cookies again tonight too.

4-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

In a stockpot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat and stir-fry the onion, garlic and ginger until the onion is translucent, a couple minutes.
Add the tomato paste (or ketchup), curry powder, and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.
Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk, diced tomatoes and lentils. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the lentils are very tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Happy Fri Evening Everyone ... Everything sounds good!!!

FYI, leftovers are always good with me. I can snack on cheese and crackers and be perfectly happy.

I admit to being a curry newbie ... just learning to like it - using it more and more in recipes. But, that soup sounds delicious!! I think that would be something I would enjoy.
Mexican is always good; and one skillet ... perfect. And, I had egg sandwiches the other night too!!!

KChurchill5 we had burgers tonight, my hubs picked up McDonald's fries I just warmed them in the oven and we had them with the burger. I feel very lazy tonight so that was our dinner. Happy Friday to you!

KChurchill5 I really love your daily topic for dinners!

Looks like everyone enjoyed good eats today. Same here, for lunch I had some leftover venison, cold with salt and pepper. I know sounds weird but it is so good that way, lol. For dinner I had salmon on a bed of lettuce, yum!!
