Two Preparations -- Four Meals

It is such a good feeling to cook twice and make enough for four meals. This week my menu focused on recipes in the February EatingWell. I tried the Inside-Out Lasagna because Other Blonde Girl championed the dish. In keeping with her grandmother's waste-not ethic, I chopped a leftover Sicilian sausage and added it to the sauce. (I know; it was to be our weekly vegetarian dish.) Then with frozen roasted poblanos in the freezer, I knew I had to cook the Quick Pork & Chili Stew. It is easy to make and delicious!!! As we ate, we could close our eyes and pretend we were in Hatch, New Mexico. My sous chef made a simple quesadilla which went well with the chili. All I have left is a little spinach and some leftover ricotta cheese which I must not let go to waste.

  1. Funny, we are eating the same things! I gave our renter Eating Well magazine and the first recipe she tried was Inside Out Lasagna which she prepared for her sister and boyfriend to everyone's delight! We also enjoyed the pork and chili stew with simple cheese quesadillas -yum!
