Just a quick write up of a simple frugal, mid-week meal:
Oven-baked rice (I actually have started adding some ground flaxseed to the rice when I cook it this way)
Green Lentils (saute onion and garlic in olive oil, add lentils and liquid (water or soup stock), simmer till most of the liquid is absorbed)
Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Make your own salad (we have avocado, tomato, carrots, and cucumbers today)
Watermelon
It's a bit of standing over the stove, but not horrible. I wonder if I could figure out how to make the lentils in the oven... have you ever managed that?
I started this site because so many of the frugal food sites I love are just jam-packed with recipes that are decidedly un-kosher. And lots of other frugal living sites are extremely religious, and not in a Jewish way. And that just wasn’t working for me. I hope that I can share some ways to be frugal AND kosher. And share some of my thoughts about our life since making Aliyah. Oh, and if you share my recipes, menus, musings, etc, please link back to this blog. Thank you.
Haven't tried lentils in the oven but I do them in the crockpot all the time.
