meal plan

Amazingly, the past three nights I've come up with a new-to-our-table dinner. Two were inspired by friends or blogs! yay. I am posting them here cause I know I won't loose the ideas this way. Unless the Internet stops working someday?!
meal # 1
Poblano enchilada casserole
Thinly slice 1 jalapeno and one poblano pepper. Spread over 9x13. Sprinkle a little cheese on top and then put two corn tortillas (broken into pieces) over the cheese. Spread and smear or somehow get some smashed avocado over those tortillas. Add a can of black beans (drained) or about a cup cooked beans. Another layer of tortillas. Finally add about 1/2lb of ground meat with taco seasoning. Cover with a few more tortillas. Then add a fistful of grated cheese and a 7oz can of verde salsa. Bake 20 min.
Add more pepper or mushroom and leave out meat if eaters are obliging (unlike my husband).

meal #2
Meatball and mushroom surprise
Cook some kind of small pasta shapes. Heat spaghetti sauce and add a few meatballs. Slice portabella mushroom and toss in sauce. Drain pasta, throw into sauce. Pour it all into a casserole dish. Sprinkle parmesan, mozzarella and breadcrumbs on top and bake 20min.

meal#3
Jalapeno-Tuscan soup and grilled cheese

I basically made this soup, but cut it in half and added a whole jalapeno=spicy! Hopefully Matt will like it even though there is a shocking lack of meat! I just ate it with the grilled cheese she suggests, with mozzarella, spinach and some more of my portabella mushroom.

Friday I hope to make a quiche to use the rest of my spinach and mushrooms...
