More with Less

I love the More with Less Cookbook. I've read it twice (the intro portions are really excellent, and have taught me a lot about how our food choices impact the environment and the people of the world). But, I'd never actually tried any of the recipes.

So I challenged myself to cook completely from the book this week. So far, we've had Honey Baked Lentils and Honey Baked Chicken (okay, so we love some - local! - honey here). There are plenty of GF anyway recipes in there, and lots of healthy and money-saving ideas.

Both recipes were okay, fine, but no one at our house was wow-ed. I don't know if my kids will ever be wow-ed with lentils. But I'll keep trying!

Next week, we'll see, but next week I may be switching my Weight Watchers plan to Core (this won't make any sense unless you're a total WW devotee like I am), so that may challenge me to have entirely different menus than I'm used to. You'll probably hear more about that!

I am SO in love with that cookbook too! I LOVE just sitting and reading it! It has taught me SO much about the foods we eat (and how wasteful we are) as well! I will have to try that honey baked chicken! I wonder how many WW points that is! I'm doing weight watchers myself! I seriously need to lose some of my cuddly cuteness. haha!

I counted it a point an ounce and added one point total for the honey. That's gotta be close. (FWIW, I also made it in the crockpot!)

Try the Pork Sausage Casserole - that was really yummy. And we had the Six Layer Dish last night (with beans instead of tomatoes) - yum!
