SI Money Savers

With Christmas this week my menu will be a little short since we will be eating away a couple times and that is perfectly fine with me.

Last week we had Turkey, Cold Pasta Salad and Mock Potatoes, however I did not blend the cauliflower.  I just did a coarse chop of them and add the other ingredients.  They turned out tasty.

The Leek and Potato soup came out so yummy!  Perfect comfort food on a cold night.

For Emeri’s choice on Wednesday I made the Lentil Tacos except we went a little more burrito style.  I used whole wheat Tortillas and layered refried beans, lentil and rice mixture, tomatoes, cheese and sourcream then rolled them up.   They were so yummy!!

I also made Snickerdoodle Blondies for dessert.

Thursday I made the Black bean and Rice Casserole, however there were a couple of changes.  I actually used pinto beans because that was all I had and I used Turkey instead of chicken.  I also doubled the rice and halved the cheese. This was really yummy.

Friday we had a date night and Saturday we were gone nearly all day so our eating ended up just being snacky stuff throughout the day.
