I made Erin’s Lentil Soup with a couple of minor adjustments to accommodate the ingredients I had on hand at the time. I added a few cloves of garlic, used less onion, and utilized vegan bullion and diced tomatoes. Overall, a definite success and just as easy as she described it. 
I had been thinking about all of the wonderful things I like to do with steel cut oats and realized I haven’t shared hardly any of them! This one is super easy when done in your rice cooker overnight. A crock pot will work too.
The Players
1 cup steel cut oats
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or more!)
2 medium to large apples, cubed
Water
The Fun
Add all ingredients in order listed above.
Set rice cooker for desired finish time.
Go to bed.
Wake up to hot steel cut oats.

This past fall, we received some spaghetti squash in our CSA basket. I honestly was not sure what to do with it, though I figured I could bake it. Right? Fortunately, about the same time, Emily posted about how to cook it. I was very relieved and jumped right in. I went a little light on the garlic for TB’s sake, but if I were making it for myself, I would have loaded up. I topped ours off with some pasta sauce I had canned.

After four years, I will say my son has developed himself quite the sweet tooth. He enjoys having a cookie or dessert, and I can not say I blame him. We are working with him on enjoying a little bit each day, but in the mean time, it gives me an excuse to bake. I found this recipe for Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip cookies on Daily Garnish, one of my favorite cooking websites, because Emily posts relatively easy to make recipes.

Like most weeks, I mess up the menu plan at least one day…or don’t plan for all of the existing leftovers. As such, some items this week are repeats of last week simply because I didn’t make them when I said I would or decided to do something crazy like make ham and scalloped potatoes instead of lentil soup. Ha ha!
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Book club! Oh goodness! I need to bake cookies!
Wednesday: Sandwiches and the town square Christmas Tree lighting ceremony! (Yes, I had the weeks mixed up, so this one is a do-over!)
Thursday: Work party, so the guys are on their own.
Friday: Lentil Soup (subbing vegetable broth for chicken to make it vegan)
Saturday: Brunch at my place, so Quinoa Quiche, Pumpkin donuts, Meatballs and more!
Sunday: Leftovers
