I was going to use leftover brown rice, but then I found out it was too old, so I used white rice since I didn’t have time to soak it. If you use brown rice, you would increase the cooking time to one hour.

Easy Mexican Rice
May 5, 2010Refried Black Eyed Peas
May 5, 2010I had black-eyed peas in the freezer that we needed to use up when we defrosted it, so I decided to turn them into refried beans. They came out perfectly.
Spinach and Goat Cheese Enchiladas
May 5, 2010I have been wanting spinach enchiladas like some I had at a Mexican restaurant several years ago, but I can’t have the cow’s milk or the wheat, so I decided to try to reverse engineer them. I think these were actually better than the restaurant ones.
Menu Plan Monday – Week of 5/3/2010
May 3, 2010It’s been awhile since I posted. We went away to Iceland to visit family and got stuck for an extra week due to the volcano. It was nice to have a longer visit, but stressful not knowing when we were leaving. (Also, it’s hard staying in a non-babyproofed house with a 14 month old). We are eating a lot of veggies this week to make up for not cooking our normal meals.
Saturday – Rice pudding and lifrarpylsa (Icelandic liver sausage)
Sunday – Stir fried tempeh and veggies, rice
Monday – Hamburgers, sweet potato fries, salad
Tuesday – Fiskbúðingur (Icelandic fish pudding), potatoes, salad
