Snafu, what is your recipe for Morrocan stew in the crock pot?
Tonight's dinner is pot roast (crockpot), corn on the cob, leftover mashed potatoes, gravy, and fresh blueberries.Comment

LuckyRobin: Plan-overs like Moroccan Stew use items at hand seeking flavor-like not authentic. I've combined spices in snack size zip bags for the different ethnic flavors my family enjoy. For example Moroccan style spices combine: cinnamon, cumin/coriander/red pepper flakes and I will add mint since lamb will be used Tuesday. Having sauteed onion, carrot, garlic, they combine with small chop squash or yam or potato and 2 cups Vegetable broth [liquid retained & frozen from cooked or canned veggies] or OXO, spice mix + 1 C. dried lentils if I need to stretch. Stew doesn't rely on measurement but on servings needed. Start on high 4 hours or until veggies are fork tender. Add can tomatoes, and leftover lamb cut in chunks [sized like squash or yam, carrots] about an hour before serving to heat. Salt & pepper to taste, increase initial spice mix if needed + can of garbanzo beans or chickpeas or a handful of chopped prunes.
This can be served over couscous or rice to enjoy the resultant broth. As I type this I can hear you laughing at my 'use what's at hand' method for crockpot stew. My goals is to fill them up with healthy, tasty/delicious foods while staying within a modest budget without spending my day at a hot stove. Over the years our family has become adventurous. What surprises me most was that DSs friends nearly plead to eat here yet their parents insist they only eat chicken tenders from a box.Comment

That sounds good, Snafu. I can work with that sort of generalized recipe.

Vegetarian day, stir fry veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, savoy cabbage, sweet peppers, bean sprouts over rice garnished with crisp noodles. Vietnamese style salad roll in rice flour shell. I made salmon patties early this AM for lunch tomorrow but if the guys are ravenous after their painting job they will go with the planned dinner. I expect the remaining strawberry shortcake will be finished for afters or 9 PM snack. Lately they guys have had opted for cold cereal as an evening snack. I'll make fruit cobbler as dessert and fruit rice pudding for breakfast tomorrow as the fruit will soon be less than prime.Comment

Friday is most often Left-over buffet for dinner but a brief review for breakfast had me stuffing pita bread with apple slices and chicken leaving an empty left-over bin. Since we're told to expect rain, I'm planning tomato soup and Monte Cristo [ham/cheese dipped in egg] grilled sandwiches. Cooked-to-order works well Fridays as I never know how many will show up for dinner. DSs return to university soon so their social life has ramped up significantly.Comment
