I used leftovers to make my stirfry at lunch today – the last of the grilled chicken, the rest of the tofu, and mixed veggies. I also tried the Freekeh (sp?!) that I got from Trader Joe’s – the 100% young durham wheat that is to be used as a substitute for rice. it was so good! It was chewy, like wheatberries but had kind of a bulgar taste? Hard to describe. Not sure I would eat it by itself, but at half the carbs of rice, I am in!
For dinner I made lasagna, but it was just okay. Not even going to bother with the recipe until it turns out the way I like it. I used my marinara sauce that’s been cooking for a couple days, but maybe needed to be cooked longer to thicken.
Tony’s plate: (I like the natural light so much better in my office!)
Hope everyone had a good day – only two more work days til the weekend!
Happy Birthday again Carl! Not too late to comment to wish him a happy birthday if you haven’t done so already. My FIL and MIL have been busy today, so I don’t think they have seen the birthday messages yet!
See you at breakfast!
Hey, cool tips. Perhaps I’ll buy a glass of beer to the man from that forum who told me to visit your blog 🙂
your mini tomato/mozz salad is so cute – love the presentation!
To all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday – THANK YOU!
It’s nice to know that strangers are so thoughtful.
Beth’s father-in- law, Carlo
Whoa, I’ve never heard of Freekeh – but I just googled it 🙂 I’ll have to try to find it…
Wow, everything looks so great! Yummmy! I think the lasagna looks scrumptious!
Not at all HP! I look forward to your gg recipe! That’s the way it is in my cooking – I envision something and automatically think it is going to work out every time, but that is not always the case!
😀
P.S. I feel like I sounded rude. I didn’t mean to be. I only said it cause you said you were going to try to improve your recipe before publishing. Nothing but love. 😀
Tony – I’ll try again!
John – its the lighting in my kitchen!
HP – I will search your blog for it – thanks!
Your lunch bowl looks fabulous!
You should really try my great grandma’s lasagne recipe. It’s posted and I can give you more details if you want. It’s the best in the world. Promise.
I like the little caprese salad, I do that a lot too. Although I use too much olive oil! is that mozz not white or is that just the light?
I enjoyed the lasagna soup.
