TIPS for MENU #2
Monday -I don't know where we got this name. There is nothing Hungarian about it.
1 lb ground beef (your choice)
1/2 to 1 diced green bell pepper
1 small onion diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato sauce
1 cup macaroni noodles
salt, pepper, paprika, garlic to taste
Just brown and drain ground meat. Saute onions and peppers. Put everything in a big pot and cook until noodles are tender. You may need to add a little water. It should be slightly soupy
x-tra info: Use whole wheat or 1/2 regular & 1/2 whole wheat pasta. Add 1/4 cup pureed carrots +/- 1/2 cup pureed broccoli.
Tuesday- Soak the beans the night before. Cook in a slow cooker all day.
Wednesday- Place tilapia topped with peach salsa in a covered dish or in a dish covered with foil. Place in an oven heated to 350. It will be ready in about 12 to 20 minutes. Do not over cook. Fish should flake.
Friday-Buy pizza dough from your favorite local Pizzeria. It is so fun to stretch out the dough with your kids or friends.
Saturday-This is just a variation on the nacho. Use ground meat and a can of pinto beans. Season with onions and taco seasoning. Top tortilla chips with meat mixture, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream. (It will still taste is OK to skip the sour cream and use vegan cheese. If you want to skip the meat, double the beans.)
Sunday-Bake chicken in the oven covered. Uncover and coat with barbeque sauce for the last 15 to 30 minutes.

The mexican scramble sounds great I'm going to have to give it a try one day. The pizza sounds like it's fun for the whole family to make. I can't wait until my son is old enough to help me in the kitchen so we can make the pizza together
