We made tuna-noodle-casserole with Campbell's recipe below. Of course, we made some very major changes. We used whole wheat pasta and less of it. Then, we added sautéed onions and peppers. Finally, I added sriracha and crushed red pepper. We also skipped the bread crumbs. It was a bit strange and not incredible but it was easy and worth maybe doing again. It also made a lot. We had a good amount leftover for lunch the next day. Of course we used 98% fat free soup.
We also had artichokes and Meredith's usual tzatziki.

We needed something fast so we made sandwiches. Mine was a combination of soppressata, goat cheese, low-salt ham and other cheese. Meredith had acroque-madame, which is basically ham and cheese with a fried egg.

We made carrot cake pancakes from the recipe noted on 2010-09-12 again halving the recipe but keeping the spices the same (so,doubling the spices). I also skipped the nuts. It only made 5 but it was enough for our breakfast-for-dinner dinner. We also fried lean bacon. As we discovered, with this change, the pancakes are pretty good.

The real star of this meal was the white-bean on eggplant. We had white-bean bruschetta at a restaurant and decided to try to make it ourselves. Except healthier both with ingredients and replace the bread. We made the beans with rinsed white beans, balsamic vinegar, a very little bit of olive oil and quite a bit of basil. We let them marinate for about an hour. We served them on broiled and salted graffiti eggplant. We broiled them for about 8 minutes, then flipped them and did it for another 5 minutes. We tried to get them really roasted.
We also made chicken cacciatore (recipe) with extra vegetables and broccoli. We added too much broccoli and had to add extra tomatoes. I also forgot the thyme and bay . It was definitely okay but not the best cacciatore we have made and certainly not the best overall.
We also had a nice, seedy, bread

We made pizza using the normal crust with the switch of whole wheat and white flour. We tried to do something different this time which was to let the rolled out (mine) or hand shaped (meredith) dough sit longer and rise a bit more to try to get more of a crust. As usual, Meredith's was a lot nicer but smaller.
Anyway, my pizzas were: goat cheese, peppadews, and soppressata. Then, red onion, artichokes and spinach. Meredith did olive, artichoke hearts and capers. Then, she did mexican with olives, pickled jalapeno slices, and avocado (sprinkled with cumin).

This was the pretty standard enchilada casserole - first notes on 2010-10-27. Meredith made it so I don't know the details, but I think it was pretty normal. We were out of cream of celery soup though, so she used cream of chicken instead. We found that Safeway cream of chicken soup is better than Giant's. She did it in the round dish which makes sense given the shape of the tortilla. It also made enough for a lunch the next day.

First, we made zucchini fritters just like 2011-12-21. I was more careful with the egg but unfortunately (though probably unrelated, they stuck really badly. I do not know what we did last time, but they were much better. I also think I undercooked them by a good amount and they were soggy. I will definitely try again, but I'll let it cook more.
The shrimp was done on the griddler. I marinated it for a bit with lemon juice and then put adobo seasoning on it. Unlike the zucchini, this was overcooked.

We largely did the same thing as 2011-10-24 except with a few changes. We used both sweet and purple majesty potatoes. This gave it a really, really cool look. Such a colorful meal. We also used poblanos instead of bell peppers. Finally, we again used chicken sausage, but this time it was more spicy italian flavored. I liked it though Meredith was still a bit unhappy with the strong anise flavor
It was again, fairly tasty. Nothing too special but still good. I really liked how colorful the whole thing was. It was also not too bad in points (we made less than last time) being that it was the entire meal. Maybe a bit high for the amount of food.
Points Plus for the entire things
