Busy day today, and since Wednesdays have gotten EVEN MORE hectic, we have pizza on Wednesday nights (a little splurge).
So here's our lunch menu instead:
Toasted Cheese Sandwiches (on homemade whole wheat bread, made with the Gouda cheese Mega is selling for 37.90/kg)
Red lentil and vegetable skillet with whole wheat cousous (saute onion, green - or whatever color, I used green as it is usually the cheapest kind - pepper, diced red potatoes, chick peas, and foraged mallow (chubeiza) leaves, in olive oil. add red lentils and water to cover plus some, and spice as you like - I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ginger, and cinnamon - and cook, stirring occasionally, adding water as necessary, till the lentils are fully cooked. serve over couscous.)
Fruit - we found apples and persimmons last week for 3 NIS/kilo. lucky us!
Have any busy day tips to share? I'd love to hear all about it!

We like to do a crockpot meal for those crazy days. Today we did chili since I had some frozen ground beef to use, but it can be almost anything. I find it easier to cook in the crockpot when it doesn't have to be overnight and I can add a sauce or throw in something to cook the last hour, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring site!
So glad you found my blog, Amital!
ReplyDeleteI have been debating the crock pot meal, thanks for reminding me! I just got a new one, and I guess I should try it out. Part of the problem is on Wed. there are 3 shifts of people getting home, spread out over 3 hrs and everyone is STARVING and wants to eat right away, so popping frozen pizza in the oven seems really easy...
