Your lentil brown rice casserole link isn’t working for me
( I would love to find a few recipes that use lentils instead of meat to save on our grocery spending!

Hey Jolene! I’ve used all different combinations. This time I just put garlic powder and paprika, but I’ve also done a rosemary/garlic powder/pepper combination that was really good. Another one we really liked was salt, paprika, thyme, onion powder, Italian seasoning and chilli pepper and black pepper. You can also throw in some garlic cloves and onion.

Right now I’m just winging the Chicken Strips. Fingers crossed they turn out as I imagine.
If they do, I’ll post the recipe.
Thank you!

1) wtg on the cost this week! You did awesome!
You are my hero LOL. Have fun! I’ll be excited to follow along!
2) you are such a better woman than I am…I had no patience about waiting with either of the boys to find out their sex. It was like someone handing me a present and then saying, “now just hold this for 9 months and then you can open it”. I know I have missed out on a wonderful surprise and experience not knowing, but I think it would drive me crazy
