1. Something easy and likely delicious - Pasta with Lentil Bolognese...

We are making a roasted tomato sauce, adding lentils for the last hour - serving on a mix of whole wheat pasta and spaghetti squash, with broccoli.

Heading into the last week of the Engine 2 challenge....going to blog many of the recipes we've used.

2. Here in Northern Ohio it is Chili weather!

So have a big pot on the stove and will eat it and watch the snow swirl by the window.

in a white wine sauce, mashed potatoes, green salad with a citrus vinaigrette, crusty roll and blood orange sorbet.

4. Probably a bottle of merlot with popcorn.

5. Gonna go with my roots and have a New England theme....

Stuffed Clams and New England style clam chowder. I haven't made the chowder in forever, so I'm hoping I still know how lol

[grasswire]

13. what kind of clams are you using? nt

[opiate69]

18. For the chowder? Canned... and the stuffies, unfortunately, were pre-packaged.

Still, came out damned good.

6. Aren't these threads a bit...gluttonous?

No offense but people are asking this question day in and day out and perhaps there is living to eat rather than eating to live?

(Answer: scrambled tofu on sprouted corn tortillas...from the lunch I didn't eat!)

7. These threads are inspirational!

They make me want to cook. They make me think healthier and more creative thoughts about food.

I usually just eat to live. Boring.

14. I love these threads

I've been on a low carb diet since August. Inspiration and variety are running thin. I've tried a few things on here because I saw other people making them (Moroccan venison stew, thai fish) that I didn't even know existing. I'm grateful for that.

Regarding your question, I am on the diet precisely because I am "eating to live."

19. I get stuck in a rut so it's *great* to have suggestions for new dishes.

8. I drove by a church and it said "Live" on the yard sign

I was hungry. And it made me think of liver.
So we're having Liver and Onions, mashed potatoes, and some spinach and garlic quickly cooked in a little EVO

10. Vegetarian Chili

heavy on chili powder, garlic and cilantro over brown rice. I call it Peruvian sauce and my kids love it. I add a bit of cumin to mine at the end with a dollop sour cream.

12. perfect chicken and biscuits

Grapefruit & avocado salad.

One of those serendipitous times when everything tastes perfect and completely satisfying.

15. We went out for a Valentine's Day dinner with friends.

Prime rib done medium rare, mashed potatoes with gravy and California mixed vegetabes was my choice. We shared a slice of chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert. It was excellent and the bartender at our favorite place makes the best VO Manhattans.

16. Pork loin chops

Rubbed with a mix of sage, marjoram, Celtic sea salt and coarse ground pepper. Fried, and pan deglazed with a small can of apple juice after frying a bit of minced garlic in it. Volume reduced and corn starch thickener for gravy.

Served with green salad and homemade ginger/basil/lemongrass/garlic/orange dressing.
