So last night we had a side dish of lentils with our barbecued salmon and asparagus. I think there will be lots of sides of lentils in the near future...
I also made pumpkin muffins with the pumpkin puree. Haven't tasted them yet -- I'll try one at breakfast tomorrow.
So, here's our menu for the week. We're also looking to use a bunch of dried red beans that I had in the freezer...
Sunday
We're playing with the rotisserie again. This time, we'll try it with one of the venison roasts.
Also, roasted sweet potato.
And some red bean and corn salad:
1 lb dried beans, soaked and cooked
chopped red onion
chopped red bell pepper
chopped garlic
corn
parsley
cilantro
cumin
cayenne
salt and pepper
olive oil
lime juice
This salad gets better the longer it sits. So we'll have it again tomorrow (and until it's gone!).
Monday
Venison tacos (with the leftovers from our rotisserie roast)
Bean and corn salad
Tuesday
Lobster ravioli (found some at Trader Joe's and I was hungry, so now we own it) with a sauce with, probably, mushrooms, spinach, pesto, parmesan cheese
Salad
Sauteed green beans (from our garden last summer... they've been waiting patiently in the freezer)
Wednesday
Sauteed scallops over salad
Thursday
Hamburgers with sauteed peppers, mushrooms and onions
Sweet potato fries
Salad
And of course, lentils may or may not make an appearance at any point this week. I like them best with some onions and pepper, and a bit of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. Yay, lentils!

Your love for lentils makes me shudder.
I can certainly see someone tolerating lentils. But celebrate them??
How can you not celebrate lentils? Why, I was just saying the other day, I wish our lives had more lentils.
I celebrate the meat portion of our freezer.
p.s. my word verification is 'lents' Oh, so close.
