Oats(w/Mango), Lasagna and Veggie Sandwiches

Breakfast



Oatmeal with Dried Mango. Rating 4 out of 5. Good old oatmeal, it satisfies!

Lunch



Lasagna! 5 out of 5! Yeah, Cheese! Okay, so cheese is just something we don't have very often, but I love it. I really do only want to eat it as infrequently as we do though, for health reasons. But, I sure do love it when we indulge... Oh, and we had crusty sourdough bread. Yumm! Sorry, I don't remember how long it took. Probably about an hour, not including baking time.

Recipe
3-4 Tbsp Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic bulb, peeled and minced
32 oz tomatoes, crushed
16 oz tomatoes, diced
2 cans garbanzo beans
squash
2 carrots, shredded
1 head broccoli, chopped
1 bunch spinach, washed, steamed
1-2 Tbsp oregano
1-2 Tbsp basil
sharp cheese
4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
6-8 oz lasagna noodles, cooked

Saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, beans and seasonings. In a separate pan, steam the squash and broccoli a little. Allow the sauce to simmer for as long as you have time for. When you are ready, pour a little sauce in the bottom of a 9x13" pan. Layer: noodles, carrots, broccoli, spinach and cheeses until the pan is full (end with a layer of cheese). Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees until veggies have softened. (around 45 minutes?) Sorry, we did not use a recipe, and Paul did most of it so I wasn't paying very close attention. I was so wrapped up in the cheese...

Dinner



Vegetable Sandwiches
I give them a 3.5 out of 5. I like the flavor of them, but we have had so many sandwiches lately!

spicy mustard
Guacamole

When does your CSA get underway? Did you go with the individualized box or the standard? Happy cooking!

I don't know when the CSA starts... Paul signed us up a couple of weeks ago and we haven't heard anything from them. I left a message on their answering machine today. I am looking forward to it!
