Mmm I love shakshuka. It's a middle eastern (maybe Tunisian/Jewish)? dish of eggs poached in a tomato/pepper sauce. Sometimes I throw in chickpeas for extra protein.
We've been eating well this week. Sunday was a chicken roasted with zaatar and a lentil/sour cherry/Gorgonzola/spinach salad.
Last night we made chile rellenos with corn/queso fresco stuffing and a black bean/pepita/roasted tomato salad.
Tonight is black pepper tofu and broccoli with chiles and garlic.
Tomorrow I'm making spicy south Indian style red lentils and probably some potato/ pea fritters with green chile.
Thursday H is out of town so l will eat leftovers. Friday I'm going to a party and I'm flying to Dallas on Saturday.
shakshuka is a middle eastern dish--eggs baked in a spiced tomato sauce with lots of feta, parsley and pita. I make something like this, except I add chickpeas to mine.

Buffalo Chicken garbage bread (from Pinterest) last night was really good. Not healthy, but tasty. DD had organic chicken tortilla soup b/c I'm terrified of her AR. I'm having the leftover soup for lunch.
Other nights we're having: chicken caesar pita pockets, beef and bean enchiladas, lemon and chive pasta, and pita pizzas.
Tonight, since I'll be home for less than 30 minutes between work and a hospital tour, my dad's bringing over Steak n' Shake.
Monday was - buffalo chicken baked potatoes.
Tuesday - alfredo chicken and brocolli (using the leftover crock pot buffalo chicken) and salad
Wednesday - Spring rolls (w/ tofu)w/ peanut sauce, and miso soup
Thursday - Make your own tacos. Z loves getting involved and i have been trying to include a "bar" type food each week.
Friday - Date night to Gyu Kaku.
missusbee - is this what I'm thinking of when you say "shakshuka"? Because YUM!
yep. Mine usually has some veggies in it--chickpeas and carrots. And melty feta on top. But yeah its awesome. Also, bonus. Its fast and cheap. Perfect for weeknights
That looks delicious!
I completely agree. I'm going to try this. My husband is not the biggest fan of eggs for dinner, but I am slowly working on him.
Sunday - Caprese sandwiches on ciabatta with homemade mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, basil salad and balsamic vinegar.
Monday - vegetarian reubens in the panini press with salad
Tuesday - vegetarian gyros w/ feta, tzatziki, tomatoes, onion and cucumbers, salad
Wednesday - meeting some people at a beer and brats place
Thursday - I'm on my own, so maybe leftover tacos (still have fixings from last week)
Friday - fried tofu with sauteed bok choy in homemade peanut sauce
Saturday - work dinner for my husband
For lunches this week we've been eating leftover vegan shepherds pie from Friday night, leftover mozzarella and tomato sandwich fixings, and hummus with pita/pita chips.
