Sunday was beef stroganoff with noodles and an awesome zucchini dish. DH found two surprise zucchinis on the bushes we thought were done for. I sauteed the zuccs with chopped onion in a little butter and added chopped tomatoes. When zucchini was tender, I added salt, pepper, dill and grated some pepperjack cheese over the top. Yum!
Monday - tacos (leftover meat will reappear as enchilada casserole)
Tuesday - Reisfleich. We do it in the pressure cooker, but can easily be made on stovetop or as an oven casserole.
