May 4, 2012- Little B's Birthday!! P.F. Changs
Today was my birthday. I am officially in my mid-twenties. Since we went out for Nick's birthday we decided to out for my birthday. We really enjoy going to P.F. Changs, so we went there. We ordered the vegetarian lettuce wraps as an appetizer and we split the orange tofu as an entree with our own sides of rice. As a dessert they gave me a little serving of the great wall of chocolate which I split with Nick. I know we both got drinks, I think got some type of mojito, I don't actually remember what I got. Oh well. It was a fun night and a special day :)
May 3, 2012- Stuffed Shells
Stuffed Shells
Today was Nick's dad's birthday so we had Nick's parents over for dinner to celebrate. He requested stuffed shells for dinner so that is what we made. I also made a caramel apple tart for dinner. I stayed home from work to get work done on my papers for thankfully I had enough time to make the tart! I still had to go to class though. But dinner was nice, Nick made the shells all by himself and he had never made them before. I think he did a great job. I believe we have a picture of shells on here from before. Yes from January 4, 2012.

May 2, 2012- Flatbread Pizza
Flatbread Pizza
Nick had class so we needed something easy to have for dinner. Last summer we came up with the idea to make pizza on the flatbread that trader joe's sells. So we put pizza sauce and cheese and then broil the flatbreads. It is really easy to make. So this is what we had for dinner tonight. Easy peasy!

May 1, 2012- Brown Rice and Beans with Cheese
Brown Rice and Beans with Cheese
This is a meal in the crockpot that we love to make. It is really simple and quite tasty. You saute onion and celery and mix together brown rice, a can of cream of celery, vegetable broth, black beans, and the onion and celery mix. You let it cook for a while (3-4) hours on high in the crockpot and it is done. We serve it with lime and some cheddar cheese. We also it some flax seed tortilla chips from trader joes. Yum!

April 30, 2012- One Pot Taco Soup with Cornbread
One Pot Taco Soup with Cornbread
I really like making this soup because it is really simple, it's in one pot! You just throw a bunch of ingredients together and let them cook. I actually put it in the crockpot and let it cook for a while. It is pinto beans, corn, tomatoes, vegetable broth, seasonings for ranch dip and also taco seasoning. We also made some corn bread and I made a maple butter. It was really yummy.

April 29, 2012- Polenta with 2 Sauces
Polenta with 2 Sauces
This is one of our favorite ways to have polenta. I won't get into the whole way we make it. We have made this since starting the blog so you can go back to January 8, 2012 for our previous entry on this dinner. It is always a favorite around here though. :) Bon apetit!

Lentil Shepherd's Pie- Vegan
Tonight we had lentil shepherd's pie for dinner. This is a dinner in the crock pot. The base is made up of onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and lentils with some herbs and salt and pepper. The topping is a mixture of russet and sweet potatoes. We were in such a rush to finish Battlestar Galactica last night that we forgot to take a picture (nerds). Oh well. It was still yummy. It is also a vegan dish. You can top it off with cheddar cheese but we left it off.
