It's dark, it's cold, and I'm ready for comfort food. At the same time, food prices have jumped in the past few weeks and I'm looking for ways to use the things I have in my pantry and like rice, noodles, dry beans and canned tuna. So here's a menu based on inexpensive comfort foods!
Monday: Tuna Noodle Casserole + cooked mustard greens + peach/grape smoothie
New casserole recipe, not my favorite, but it sure was easy! If you have a beloved tuna casserole recipe, please email it to me! nicolebuhlerRD@gmail.com We are doing tuna casserole for cooking class in January and I'm determined to find a recipe that is easy and yummy.
Tuesday: Bean Burritos + canned corn + apple slices. I cook my own beans in a pressure cooker, it requires no soaking and is so easy. Here's how you can do it yourself.

Thursday: Butternut squash risotto + green salad + canned pears
(this recipe is a bit involved and is gourmet, but I have squash, apples and sage from my garden I want to celebrate!)

Friday: Homemade pizza with zuchinni, pepperoni and pesto (all in the freezer!) + green salad + applesauce

Saturday: Cottage cheese spinach lasagna + green salad + whatever fruit is left in the house
This is my favorite lasagna recipe, it's easy, it's yummy and my 11 year old is making it for us.
