Veggie bag for November 8th:
Contents: 1 spaghetti squash, lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, bag of green beans, bag of radishes, 2 tomatoes, 4 potatoes, 1 red onion.Aren't these little radishes so cute? I love getting my food with the root and greens attached. Just feels more real.
{Menu for November 12-18}Carrot pancakes for weekend breakfast. We've also been doing a LOT of oatmeal in the crock pot too.
We did Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches again - Emeril's recipe as suggested by my friend, Melissa.
I made my white bean dip for lunch over the weekend and Craig asked why I never make a Mexican bean dip. So... I did. And we had a family movie night and floor picnic to eat this. ;-)
Recipe:1 1/2 (16oz) cans refried beans
1/2 cup taco sauce
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz cream cheese
3 tbsp mayo
1/4 tsp garlic powder
assorted veggie toppings
Directions: mix together beans and taco sauce and spread on bottom and up sides of 13x9 pan. Mix shredded cheese, cream cheese, mayo and garlic powder and spread on top of bean layer. (Note: EVERY time I've ever tried that it ends up smearing and looking totally sloppy and I just get frustrated. So I just mix ALL the ingredients together and spread as ONE layer in pan.) My mom tops her bean dip in diagonal rows with chopped tomatoes, pitted, sliced olives, green onions, green peppers and cheese. It looks super pretty that way and, when I make it for a function, I do that. But at home, I just sprinkle a little of everything all over and sprinkle cheese on top so that you get a little of everything in one bite. You can also drizzle more taco sauce on top. Serve with tortilla chips.
For good measure, since this may not actually be considered a "meal", I made up a few quesadilla wedges (bean & cheese) and served with grapes too.

Also this week, I made winter squash soup again to use up my butternut squash... and breakfast for dinner another night consisting of scrambled eggs, fruit and whole wheat waffles.
