So one of our double duty meals was Curried Couscous with Broccoli and Feta. This comes together very quickly and makes a pretty substantial amount of food so you can count on getting a few lunches or maybe another dinner out of this meal.
Another meal that we stretched to two nights was Cheesy Potato Soup with Ham Sandwiches. The ham sandwiches are entirely optional so you can make this a straight up vegetarian meal if you decide to forgo them. The fancy mayo that goes with the sandwiches is quite delicious so don't be afraid to make a little extra and use it on sandwiches for lunch!
Thai Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas is an old staple of ours. It is actually hand written into my first recipe book - if you have ever been to our house while we are cooking, most recipes are cut out of our Cooking Light magazines and put into sticky-back-page photo albums. Only our oldie-but-goodies and some family recipes make it into the hand written books. I think we first made this when we lived back in Boston - it was probably one of the first (and only) entrees I ever made that involved peanut butter :)
For fish we went with Pecan Crusted Tilapia. We had this on a business school class night so I made everything up (grits and corn on the cob) and cooked my fish and left some of the "crust" for Flick to use to make his once he was out of class. I know I just got done talking about how much I like leftovers...but leftover fish is not my favorite so I wanted Flick's to be freshly made rather than reheated.
Finally...another pizza :) This is Roasted Veggie and Ricotta Pizza. A really great vegetarian pie. The good news is that Ellie had cheese for the first time and seems to love it so we can count on her to help us polish off a pizza in the near-ish future...not that we have any problems doing that now on our own.
