Yes. I used the smart taste egg noodles too so they were high in calcium & fiber. We decided they would've been better with a variety of veggies in them so we're using the leftovers tonight, throwing a steamer bag of veggies in it and DH is beer braising some chicken

They were REALLLLLY good. My husband doesn't like Butternut squash, so I just didn't put the squash in his and he loved it. The boys and I did the full experience (I did add a bit extra cumin, some chili powder, extra garlic, a little achiote and some cilantor as topper) and we really enjoyed it! Oh.. and I used cheddar and colby instead of daiya cheese and it was still awesome.

What do you put in your Vegetarian Sloppy Joes?



Meatless crumble by Boca. I'm addicted to this stuff. It's basically soy protein, but ti has the texture of ground beef so I use it fairly often and it's always a hit.

Here's the link to the recipe (I found it in the food section of the Sunday paper a couple of weeks ago).

http://www.relish.com/recipes/stuffed-tomatoes-with-orzo-and-boursin/

They were good... I definitely recommend seasoning the inside of the tomatoes with salt and pepper and even drizzling a little olive oil on top to amp up the flavor. But with the side of roasted brussel sprouts, it was a good vegetarian meal (I try to have one or two veg meals a week).

They would also be a good side dish with steaks, grilled chicken, etc.

I will make again!

Sorry! I don't know why the link isn't working.

But if you google "Cheesy Orzo Tomatoes" the Relish site link should pop up as one of the first results.

It was really easy to make - Just cut a thin slice off of the top of 4 large tomatoes and scoop out a lot of the pulp (leave enough of a shell that the tomato holds its shape). I drizzled the tomato cavities with olive oil and seasoned with kosher salt and pepper.

Cook 2/3 cup orzo (or ditallini) as per the directions on the box. Drain, reserving 3 TB of cooking water. Stir 4 oz of Boursin (or Allouette, or any other soft garlic herb cheese) into the orzo, along with a couple of TB of chopped fresh parsley 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/8 tsp pepper, and the reserved cooking water. Fill the tomato cups with the orzo mixture, sprinkle the tops with grated parmesan, and bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes or until tops start to brown.

Enjoy!

Re: *Weekly Menu* 9/23

I'm so indecisive this week

Sunday- Away for the weekend

Monday- ST chicken taco chili

Tuesday- ST Easiest Broccoli pasta

Wednesday- Leftovers from Monday and Tuesday

Thursday- Quinoa Patties and a side salad. However, we will be going out to a Democrats Abroad Meetup at a German restaurant, so I suspect a Schnitzel may win out Chat Icon .

Friday- Quinoa Patties or Seared Tuna with a side salad

Saturday- ST Coconut Chicken tenders with a salad or Seared Tuna

Sunday- A roast something or other. Trying to decide between Roast Chicken, Roast Duck, or Roast Pork Belly. With veg and a starch of some sort. I might try Yorkshire Puddings.
