Busy day today, and since Wednesdays have gotten EVEN MORE hectic, we have pizza on Wednesday nights (a little splurge).
So here's our lunch menu instead:
Toasted Cheese Sandwiches (on homemade whole wheat bread, made with the Gouda cheese Mega is selling for 37.90/kg)
Red lentil and vegetable skillet with whole wheat cousous (saute onion, green - or whatever color, I used green as it is usually the cheapest kind - pepper, diced red potatoes, chick peas, and foraged mallow (chubeiza) leaves, in olive oil. add red lentils and water to cover plus some, and spice as you like - I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ginger, and cinnamon - and cook, stirring occasionally, adding water as necessary, till the lentils are fully cooked. serve over couscous.)
Fruit - we found apples and persimmons last week for 3 NIS/kilo. lucky us!
Have any busy day tips to share? I'd love to hear all about it!

Tuesday Night, Aug 30, 2011
Today I decided I have to work on getting my family to eat more lentils - they are an amazingly frugal source of protein! My oldest son requested rice, so I figured it was a classic combination.
However, my family members don't really like rice and lentils together, so I had to get creative.
Here's what I came up with:
Choice of:
Brown Rice
Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Sauteed vegetables with red lentils in tomato sauce
Fresh fruit
