What's for Dinner, Fri., Apr. 15, 2016

Lentil loaf.

Yes, one of our posters here mentioned making a week or so ago, so I got it in my head to check out recipes. Found what looks to be a pretty good one on a blog.

It has an interesting glaze: a mixture of balsamic, catsup, and maple syrup.

It's about 70 per cent done, so time to finish it and pop it in the oven.

Would like to have a salad to go with it, but unfortunately I'm out of greens. I might be able to cut enough arugula from the garden, though.

1. Veggie stir fry. Once a week, I make this concoction.

Onions, Bok Choy, pea pods, broccoli, bean sprouts, celery. All sliced thin.

In my wok, I add a little oil, red pepper flakes and a little garlic flakes.

Add veggies, start with the celery and then add other veggies based on time it takes to cook.

Add at the end, about 1/3 cup water to which I have added about a 3/4 teaspoon of granulated chicken bouillon.
Make sure all is hot, soy sauce if I think it needs a little extra oomph.
Serve over rice.

Once in a blue moon, I might add sliced chicken that I have quickly sauteed and set aside before starting with the veggies.
Mix the whole thing together.

with steamed green beans, mashed spuds with sour cream and green onions. Oh, and apple sauce.

(I grabbed the right package out the freezer this time...)
