For a great "do ahead" meal try Bill's Enchiladas (pg 88). Normally, around 5:00pm I start thinking about what I am going to make for dinner. So, it took great self discipline to force myself to think "dinner" at 11:00 AM, but what a treat it was at 6:00pm when I came rolling in from an afternoon of errands, to smell the aroma of an already prepared dinner in my crockpot! I just heated up some extra corn tortillas and put the crockpot on the table along with leftover Cilantro Slaw (which still tasted great)
For dessert I made peach/strawberry icecream (my own invention) which was luscious.
I just put 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of frozen peaches and 2 frozen bananas and 1/2cup of vanilla flavored almond milk in my high speed blender ( I let things thaw for about 5 minutes before hitting the switch). It made the most wonderful creamy treat. I topped each serving with 1 t.orange juice concentrate and 1T of sliced almonds. Sooo good!
So that was yesterday, Today, I slacked off. We ate out twice. After my second dissapointing meal, I have come to the conclusion that there are no longer any good restaurants, but then, maybe, I am just getting spoiled by Bill's great meals.
Tonight, I got fired up again and made Bill's Healthy Muffins (pg 161). These are check +++ muffins. I just made 1/2 the recipe and came up with 18 good sized muffins. The recipe calls for 2 lbs of nuts and 2 lbs of raisins which I decided must an error and probably should be 2 cups of each. Anyway, that is how I made them and they were perfectly delicious. I also added dried cranberries and a little maple syrup 1/3 Cup instead of the stevia. Please try this recipe. Its wonderful!
