Enchiladas

Made these tonight for dinner....yummy

Saute some onions, then add in a can of spaghetti sauce (24 oz). Add in some chili powder and oregano. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Take a pan (I used a 9x13 "), fill the bottom with half the sauce. Take flour tortillas, fill with refried beans (1/3 cup per torilla) and cheese. Roll, place in pan flap side down. fill up the pan in this manner (I used 6 tortillas total). Cover with the remaining sauce and 2 cups of cheese. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes (or until hot through).

So good!!

Savory Lentils

Disclaimer: I haven't taken any pictures of this meal BUT it is one of my favorites! It is super easy, simple, delicious, and inexpensive. (Hard to beat that!!) The recipe is as follows:

Combine and simmer for 15 minutes:
1 cup lentils
2 1/4 cup of cold water
Add and simmer for another 30 minutes:
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
2 cups chopped tomatoes OR 1 can tomato sauce
Fry separately:
1 large onion (chopped) in butter
Combine. Add in grated cheese to taste (1/2-1 cup). Mix.

Serve over rice. Greens on the side (I recommend broccoli or green beans or bok choy or squash).
