August 10, 2012- Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

Since Nick had his CSET we wanted to have a simple dinner so we had grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. It is a classic and simple dinner to make. Not really much to say to describe this...

Tofu Parimigiana

Nick had his CSET the next morning so he wanted a filling and protein full meal the night before. So we had tofu parmigiana. We added kidney beans into the sauce we used and used corkscrew pasta. It was really quite yummy. I always like having this for dinner. 


August 8, 2012- Grilled Veggie Wraps- Vegan

Grilled Veggie Wraps- Vegan

This was a really delicious dinner. It had grilled asparagus and zucchini and we made a paste from cannelini beans with some garlic salt and pepper and olive oil. You also add some arrugula into the wrap and we used flax and oat tortillas. You roll them up like wraps and we had them with veggie chips. They were so flavorful and delicious!



August 7, 2012- Lentil and Mixed Veggie Casserole

Lentil and Mixed Veggie Casserole

This is a meal made in the crock pot. You combine lentils and vegetable stock in the crock pot with salt and pepper. Later you add a can of cream and mushroom and mixed vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. It didn't turn out the greatest because the veggies didn't cook fully. It wasn't my favorite dinner...


August 6, 2012- Red Beans with Quinoa- Vegan

Red Beans with Quinoa- Vegan

This is a dinner we make quite often. You use onion and saute them in olive oil until cooked and then add kidney beans and barbecue sauce. You serve them over quinoa. It is really easy to make and is also vegan.

August 5, 2012- Taco Casserole

Taco Casserole

This was an easy dinner to make in the crock pot. It used tomato sauce, beans, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and corn tortillas. You leave it in the crock pot for a while and then it is like a casserole but a little soupier. It was actually pretty tasty. We topped ours off with some cheese and sour cream.


August 4, 2012- Pizza Cupcakes with Mia and Riley

Pizza Cupcakes with Mia and Riley

We babysat out nephew and niece, Riley and Mia and they spent the night! After all that traveling we wanted to make something that was fun and kid friendly but also easy to make. We have made these pizzas on biscuits before which I grew up eating and I saw an idea to make pizza cupcakes which I thought would be fun for the kids. You use the biscuit dough and use a cupcake pan. You take a portion of each biscuit and put it into the bottom of each cupcake and put some sauce and cheese then top it with the remainder of the biscuit. You end up with 8 little pizza cupcakes. The kids (well Riley) really liked them. Mia doesn't like sauce on her pizza!
