Egyptian Lentil Soup

Lentil soup isn’t something I’ve made often — decided to give this EatingWell recipe a try. Pretty simple, filling. John had seconds, so I’ll consider that an endorsement.

Beans with Cream

An interesting take on beans (I used a mix of heirloom ones). John wanted them to be a little more cooked than how they turned out, but I was happy with them.

Chicken Francese (Lightened)

It had been awhile since I’d made chicken francese, so it was nice to get it back in the cycle. This was a lightened version.

Basic Bread Machine White Bread

I broke in my bread machine with this white bread recipe. It was a little sweet for me, but had potential.

Cheddar Stuffed Meatloaf

We enjoyed this meatloaf recipe as something different, though I didn’t actually think the cheese added much in terms of the flavor.
