Black beans and green beans with garlic and cumin, and rotini with marinara. Red velvet cake with coconut for dessert.

Last night was supposed to be mujaddara, but my DH wanted meat so we ended up eating barbecue pulled pork tacos with daikon & carrot namasu.

Tonight will be mujaddara; I don't care if my DH doesn't want it, I'm totally craving it!!

Last night was potato soup with cheddar cheese.

Tonight will be yogurt, mango and half a bagel, since it's dance class night and I won't get home till 9:30. I have an enormous lunch, and that holds me.
If wisdom’s ways you wisely seek,
Five things observe with care,
To whom you speak,
Of whom you speak,
And how, and when, and where.

Stir-fried pork with broccoli and cashews.  We're only tried the recipe once before, but it turned out really well and I'm looking forward to having it again!
I searched for nothing on the Internet and got 175,000,000 hits.

Ham and cheese sandwiches, since DH ran the oven self-clean mode today and it is too hot to deal with.

When I read this I was imagining how quickly bacon would cook in an oven that hot :)

We are actually having baked sweet potatoes, ham steak with mustard sauce and braised cabbage.

I am sick, so I am having soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Spaghetti, but I got a new tortillia press and want to try it out so spaghetti with meat sauce, fresh green beens, and flour tortillias.

I was going to have salmon, wild rice and quinoa, and spinach.

Instead I had baked chicken, sweet potato mash and steamed veggies

Couscous, spinach and carrots. Pita chips and hummus and blackberries for a snack soon.

I quartered baby carrots into strips and cooked them with a bit of vegetable oil, cardamom, chili powder, cinnamon (barely any), sea salt and a drizzle of honey till they were browned/caramelized a bit. So good. The cardamom is definitely the ticket.

Russian yogurt with a dab of mayo, pickled mushrooms and black olives.  Yum! 

I'm having blueberries mixed with sugar free black cherry gelatin and some fake frozen whipped cream..maybe half a banana.  Double yum!
(can you believe I am wasting organic blueberries and banana on this dessert?) 
I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished.  Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

Have you tried frozen yogurt instead of whipped cream?
