Raise the flags!

Do not adjust your computer screen! What you see is an actual photo of my vegetable drawer in my refrigerator. No photo enhancements were used - those really are all MY veggies! My drawer has never been this full since I moved here. I have a bag of celery, 1 garlic bulb, 2 onions, 1 carrot, and a broccoli tree. Oh, and I even have 2 real potatoes on my countertop and a can of peas in my cabinet but they are not shown in this photo. The carrot only cost 22 cents! Next time I may splurge on 2 of them, but for now, I wanted to stick to my grocery list and I only needed one :)

Some delicious recipes on the agenda this week - chicken pot pie, chicken / broccoli / rice casserole, lasagna, and who knows what else I might decide to whip up :) My freezer is low on food, so I'll be making all these dishes and freezing a good portion so I have meals handy when I'm short on time. Tonight I made lasagna and froze 2/3 of the casserole into 2 dinner portions. I'll make 2 chicken pot pies and freeze one, and at least half of the chicken broccoli casserole will also be frozen. Homemade meals sure beat Lean Cuisine!
