What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 13, 2018

Cold lentil soup and a BLT, only in a low-carb wrap.

The lentil soup will be a bit spicy: It has veggies like carrots, celery, and garlic plus tomatoes, but also is seasoned with ancho chile powder, cumin, and ground coriander. Mix in a dollop of tzatziki.

I've been craving a BLT, what with my tomatoes coming in.

For dessert, watermelon and red grapes.

To drink, a pomegranate spritzer.

Cheese, cucumber, tomato, bread. Black licorice for dessert. Food is expensive here, we grocery shop.

The corn tortillas are the same size as an oven safe pyrex bowl, so I layered rice & beans, salsa, onions, the last of the zukes & summer squash in between the corn torts. Topped off w/ avocado & a squirt of sour cream. Mincing the onions & making the rice in the pot took the longest time. Assembly maybe 5 minutes, baking in the toaster oven 20 min. Very quick casserole.

Decafe peach iced tea.

Buzzfeed. com. has a food section with vegetarian recipes. OhSheGlows. com has interesting ideas too.
I do a fair number of lentil-rice recipe too. Indian, North African, Afghanistan cooking styles intrest me.

when I went to TJ's to get the low-carb tortilla shells, they were sampling something similar to what you made. It was so good. I immediately put that on the list for upcoming dinners.
