Sub sandwiches/veggie tray (didn't actually make this, had it at my dad's)

[VikingKvinna]

What a fun thread! I just have one question:

WHY IS NO ONE POSTING RECIPES!!?!???!?!? :LOL

So here's ours:

White bean, swiss chard and sausage soup, homemade WW bread
Chicken and black bean enchiladas
roast chicken, stuffing, gravy, peas
Dahl (from a mix; it was ) with brown rice
Broccoli-cheddar soup, more WW bread

Not one of my most stellar runs. Tonight's even less impressive: tuna-noodle casserole : But I think I'm also going to make some homemade corn tortilla chips and black bean dip, for snacking on during Lost tonight.

We cook from scratch too (DH and I both do the cooking) so we made everything from scratch except the pasta. We also grew the tomatoes, green beans, kale, and zucchini we used in a bunch of the recipes. Here are our last five dinners (minus the trip to Applebee’s with my parents in which we ate junk food) :

Tues- Black bean veggie burgers and sweet potato oven fries
Monday- Blackeyed pea and kale soup with WW bread fresh from the oven
Sunday- Whole wheat pasta and cheese sauce (hollandaise sauce for the babe, who is allergic to dairy) and green bean and tomato salad - we took this to a family dinner with the IL’s
Friday- Vegetable Chili and skillet cornbread
Thursday- Vegan lasagna (with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for those interested)

I would be happy to share any of the recipes, if someone wants them.

Tonight I'm making a roasted chicken with root vegetables and cream cheese/chive smashed potatoes.
I wish we were having anything with baked beans, instead. Sigh.
