Dinner Tonight – A Week of Menus – Lentil Burritos

This week we are still working through our chametz, how about you? I have some wheat berries to use up and of course more pasta, I have a large package of chicken wings in the freezer and more beans.  Let's see how we can use them up this week. On Monday I like to go meatless and one of the best meatless meals is Mexican.  I usually use fake ground meat so we can have cheese with our  chili or burrtios, but this week let's try this recipe for Lentil Burritos.  Serve some salsa and guacamole and chips on the side.

For Wednsday I am going to try this Shiitake Beef and Barley Soup but I will use my wheat berries instead of the barley, got to use what we have.   [caption id="attachment_52155" align="aligncenter" width="496" caption="Shiitake Beef and Barley Soup"][/caption]   On Thursday we do love an easy dinner.  I have a box of Orecchiette, little ears pasta, and I happen to have some pesto to use up in the freezer, I love this combo, but you can use what ever pasta you have and can either make fresh or use jarred pesto for this Pesto Pasta recipe.

Have a great week!!
