Grilled veg pasta. 🍝 It was sooooo good! And simple!

Roast zucchini and eggplant (I added the tomato as well), toss with pasta and red pesto. Top with pine nuts & mozzarella.

Made Caitlin Shoemaker's Broccoli Rice Casserole. It's totally healthy comfort food and SO EASY! Just dump all ingredients into a casserole dish and slide it into the oven for an hour. While it was bubbling away I slaughtered a pumpkin and added half of it to bake in the oven for the last half hour. So that's 2 healthy dinners for 2 (hubby liked it yay!) and 2 lunches. The recipe is four servings but I like to stretch it out by adding an extra veg on the side.

Oh, since I didn't have any chickpeas I used cannelini beans.

Last week at Nonna I leafed through her ancient Sofia Loren cookbook and saw a recipe where she stuffed bell peppers with a a mixture of a soffrito (sautéed garlic, onion,carrot, celery), stale bread moistened with broth, herbs and toasted pine nuts.

I had some old bread lying around in the freezer and now that autumn has officially arrived I really felt like making stuffing, Italian style. The herbs gave it a very savory and meaty flavor. I used ground coriander, dried sage, rubbed ground fennel seeds and fresh rosemary. But instead of stuffing bell peppers, I used it as a topping for roasted pumpkin. It was absolutely delicious.

Made the Korean lentils again but used less soy sauce (2/3 of 1/4 cup) to cut down on the salt and it still tastes really good. Added fresh parsley. Plus was lazy so didn't sauté the onion first but just chucked it all in the pan 😏
