Wrap in a large pita withpicklesand hummus, then grill on a sandwich press.

“Any kind of noodles or pasta, cook until done to your liking.
In the same pan, add oil, garlic, and frozen peas.
Toss until the peas aren’t frozen, add pasta, and throw on some grated cheese.”
“Ive gone mostly vegetarian due to the wild cost of groceries these days.
My two go-to, protein-rich vegan meals are both Moosewood recipes (from theSundays at Moosewood Restaurantcookbook).
Another is a French garlic and white bean soup, that uses dried navy beans.
Both freeze excellently so if you have leftovers, thats what I advise doing with them.
Dried beans and legumes are a great way to save money.”

We use ours for making huge batches of chicken salad.
Add apples, celery, mayo, onion, grapes, or whatever you have.
Eat it with crackers, in wraps, or on bread and croissants.
Short of chicken salad, you’ve got the option to use it for just about anything."
Boil pasta and brown the hamburger meat on high heat.
Warm Alfredo sauce over medium heat at the same time while adding enough Creole seasoning to turn it pink.
When pasta is al dente, throw the stuff all together in a large pot."

Dump in a casserole dish topped with (prepared) cornbread mix.
Leave it in the oven until the cornbread is done.
The meat base without the chili seasoning also makes a great burrito filling or nacho topping."

Cook on low for four hours.
Remove ham hocks and add diced potatoes, thyme, parsley, and ham or sausage.
I usually remove the bay leaves, but it’s your preference.
Cook on low for two hours.
Add heavy cream, stir, and cook an additional 30 minutes.
Check the thickness: if you want it thicker, add instant potatoes and cook 15 additional minutes.
Check the thickness and repeat as desired."
