1. Vegetable Barley and a roasted beet salad

2. Souped up tuna casserole.

Actually, canned tuna and canned salmon. Cream of shrimp soup, one can of milk. Chopped frozen spinach. Three kinds of cheeses: lobster cream cheese, brie and white cheddar. Box of shell pasta.

Combined the first six ingredients over medium heat. Layered the casserole: pasta/different cheeses/sauce. Cooked at 400 for about 25 minutes. Made it last night for supper tonight since I don't get home until after 7pm on Mondays. Will take out individual portions and reheat. Plenty of leftovers for lunches during the week!

9. That sounds delicious.

I have never heard of lobster cream cheese, is it something you buy or make.

10. We have this weird little discount market around the corner

from our house. They sell a lot of weird products that they get in one-time shipments. A lot of their food comes from places like Whole Foods so it's really high end but very near the end of its shelf-life. I assume the lobster cream cheese came from someplace like that, just as I assume I won't ever see it there again. Sigh.

3. Grilled tri-tip roast

OK, it's a 1/2 roast. With a salad and (here come the fun part)... tater tots!

I had a nostalgic moment as I was waking up this morning - you know that in-between period of not fully awake, and not at all asleep? For some reason, I thought of eating tater tots as a freshman in high school (1979). That was the first time I ever even knew they existed. We didn't have a lot of frozen pre-made foods growing up.

So, I went out this morning to the grocery and bought a bag. Talk about self-suggestive selling, huh?

7. Spaghetti and meatballs

I made roasted tomatoes yesterday, so I used sauce I'd made from the roasted tomatoes and also served a couple whole for on top of the pasta. Topped with meatballs (organic grass-fed, no antibiotics) more tomato sauce and parmesan.

8. egg fu yung...

.....made with bean sprouts, scallions, diced celery and green bell pepper, a dash of soy sauce and eggs. It has been hard to get bean sprouts here lately because of a great fear of salmonella. But I saw some yesterday, very fresh, and I grabbed them.

Also fried won tons with a pineapple ginger sweet and sour dipping sauce, and some shelled edemame stir fried with garlic and onion.

11. I also

made Chili. It was good but it just didn't have that little bit of fire/spice and I just can't seem to get it right. What am I missing? Or what can I add ? lol
