Veggie Nights

We didn't do it on purpose, we didn't even try.  I suppose it probably had something to do with the refrigerator full of fresh vegetables from our CSA and our garden.  Last week, we ate vegetarian fare for four nights in a row.  I wanted to share two of the meals that we made.  There was a taco salad that I wanted to try and also stuffed peppers that we have made before and enjoyed.  Both were delicious and also created enough leftovers for several lunches.

The "lime" green colored peppers were from our CSA and were delicious.  As you can see we upped the nutritional ante by serving broccoli as a side dish. 















The next night, we made a vegetarian taco salad.  Other Blonde girl - I think you would really like this one.  This salad was incredibly filling and we didn't really miss the meat.  We even ate it again the next night (it makes a lot) and added more fresh lettuce.  It was still great.  



By Thursday night I was a bit tired and irritable and craving meat.  Last night we went to La Provence and I ordered the Filet Mignon (yes it was wrapped in bacon).  It was delicious!
