Let's wrap up since last post:
Thursday: was still a snow day. For dinner, we had giant salads (yum! green things!), the husband's topped with leftover chicken with a side of cornbread. Mine was just veggies, with chicken and melted cheese toasts on the side. Or was that Wednesday? We also had toasted chicken & cheese sandwiches sometime last week.
Friday: back to work for me. Dinner was mild Italian chicken sausage sandwiches with slaw.
Saturday: I had some sort of stomach bug, so I had plain white rice. Husband ordered a pizza from the Italian Pizza Kitchen with sausage and kalamata olives. I snuck a bite (or ten). It was delicious.
Sunday: pan-fried potatoes with onions, garlic, mild Italian chicken sausage, and chard.
Today, I took a trip (via Metro, since the car is entombed in snow) to Whole Foods and Giant to pick up a few things. Then, I bade a big pot of black beans in the oven and a veggie florentine lasagna to get ready for Lent. We've decided to go vegetarian for Lent, which starts on Wednesday.
Black Beans:
1/2 small onion, finely diced
3-4 garlic cloves, smashed
1lb dry black beans
saute 1/2 a small onion and a few smashed garlic cloves in a large pot
pick over the beans, removing any stones or broken beans
add beans to the pot and add water to about 1 inch over the level of the beans
cover the pot and place in a 325 degree oven for about an hour and a half. check after an hour or so and see if you need to add more water.
Tonight, I'm making seared scallops with creamy spinach risotto. Pictures to come!
Vegetarian Lasagna recipe coming on Wednesday!
