[lucifugous]

1- s uper delish salad, boys cooked brats out on the grill for football game
2- ravioli, brussels sprouts
3- quesadilla w/ gr turkey & green pep (after a large late lunch: bread bowl at Corner Bakery- to be fair, we had to be out & about for ten hours total and I only caved after waiting over an hour past the time my ex said he would meet us downtown... a woman actually asked me if I was okay and needed her to buy me lunch because I was sitting there for an hour not ordering anything- so embarrassing! but sweet of her.)
4- tilapia w. broccoli & roasted sweet potatoes
5- potato pancakes (FINALLY- this has been in the works for a while) served on a bed of peas, with apple sauce & sour cream.
6- homemade pizza
7- beef stroganoff
8- chicken enchiladas
9- leftovers didn't make it past lunch- we made a salad with green leaf lettuce, iceberg, chicken (marinated in soy sauce, garlic, ginger, & onion- sauteed- chilled), zucchini, red pepper, walnuts, goat cheese, dried cranberries, crumbled bacon, balsamic vinaigrette, and homemade croutons. (budgeting note: we keep the walnuts and dried cranberries around pretty much just for salads, though they can also be snacks, they are expensive. So I wouldn't buy them just to make a salad, they're something we buy when we can and then we use it in many salads!)

and then in queue:
fennel & potato crockpot soup
spaghetti squash with a super special red wine tomato sauce with bacon and ground turkey and shallots and lots of deliciousness!!
barley & split yellow pea soup with rutabaga
tilapia w. peas and roasted potatoes
tuna casserole with broccoli

I have no idea what order these meals will be in, haven't gotten the fennel yet but I did get the celery for both soupd so I should make them both during this week. Actually the order they are in is probably my best guess!

So far so good. We had leftovers for lunch today and I'll make popcorn for a snack later. Rice and red lentils and some leftover cucumber salad for dinner. Dh is out of milk for his coffee, but is willing to stick it out for a few more days.

I have been making use of every leaf of the greens in the garden. Added a bunch of kale to the rice today and I have some chard for tomorrow's dinner. And as I have been picking greens, I have been planting more, moving things around, so we should have another 3-4 weeks of garden greens.
