Leftovers Again!?!

Are you tired of BBQ Lentils yet??  I hope not because I have one more...  BBQ Lentil Quesadillas!


Today I used up the last of them and oh my, they may have been the best yet!


Hot skillet + a spray of EVOO.
3 small Corn Tortillas
a sprinkling of white cheese mix
and then... BBQ Lentils spread on top.  mmmmmm!
and some Spinach.  double mmmmm!

Then fold over.

And done!


2 for me and 1 for Kai.  Also on our plates some sweet corn, sundried tomato humus and raw veggies.  Oh, and a few frozen grapes to round things out. 


Kai's response, "Mmmm, mom these are good!"


Have I said, "mmmmmm" yet?

BBQ Lentils & Pumpkin Ice Cream

Tonight I tried something new...I did not serve the Hubs meat!!

I did not surprise him with a meatless meal though.  That would NOT have gone over well.

And what I did serve was covered in a tasty BBQ Sauce.

The results?


Well he tried it (hesitantly).  He did not over react.  He did NOT like it.  


ehh, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. :)


Now if you're a bit more adventurous than him I bet you'd LOVE this...


I followed a recipe this time too!  ...well for the most part.  I'm never going to be the one to dig out all those tsp/Tbsp measuring devices.  It's just not going to happen.  But I did use all the same ingredients and approximate measurements.


Here's the link to the recipe:  Stampede Barbecue Lentil Sandwich

My BBQ Sauce is heating up.  Smelled So Good!

And as sides?  Some sweet corn and kale chips.

Have you had Kale chips yet?  If not you need to ASAP.  They're so quick & tasty.  Even the hubs likes them!!

Tear the leafy parts off the stems into bite size pieces then toss with EVOO & some salt. 

Spread out on a pan & roast around 400 degrees for about 10 minutes until they're crispy.

Watch carefully, they can turn black very quickly.

That's it!!

mmmmmm!

Then for dessert I made some Pumpkin Ice Cream.

For Christmas last year my mom got us an ice cream maker.  I was not an ice cream eater.  While I love the taste it often makes me sick and while I loved the gift I didn't think I'd use it much.  

I was wrong.

 Very wrong.

I use it all the time!!

By controlling my own ingredients I don't get sick.  Of course I have yet to make something the Hubs would consider to be ice cream but lets face it, he's too picky!  (Just shows how perfect I must be that he picked me)

My ingredients:

1 C Almond Milk

1 C pumpkin puree

drizzle of Molasses

drizzle of Maple Syrup (hubs thought it need to be sweeter so you may want to add more)

dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice (2 parts cinn., 1 part ginger, 1 part nutmeg)

1 T Chia Seeds

pinch of salt

Mix & let sit for a bit while you make dinner.

Pour into your ice cream maker.

Getting memorized by the swirling

Then just scoop & enjoy.

I had intended to sprinkle it with some gram cracker crumbs but forgot.  Oh well, it was enjoyed none the less.
