DH and I are big fans of tostadas. The kidlets aren't. But, that didn't stop me from making them for lunch. I am just plain mean and cruel

Baked Zucchini
While visiting my grandma she gave us a recipe for baked zucchini. it sounded good so I made it for supper. Everyone liked it except that it was cold by the time we came around for seconds. I need to find a way to keep it warm while we eat.
Baked Zucchini
1 cup Italian cracker crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (the grated stuff)
salt and pepper
1 egg
flour
Mix the first three together. Place in a shallow pan. Beat egg in a different shallow pan. Place flour in yet another shallow pan. Wash and slice zucchini to about 1/4" thickness. Dredge in flour, egg and bread crumbs. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake in 400ยบ oven for20 minutes or so. It will be nice and brown and crispy. I served with yellow rice and green salad.

Teriyaki Garlic Stirfy
Stirfry is definitely one of our favorite foods. :) It is good with just veggies or with tofu added. DH insists we could put chicken in it, but then he isn't cooking, is he?? This recipe is a combination of different recipes.
Teriyaki Garlic Stirfry
1 box cubed tofu, drained and pressed
bottled teriyaki sauce
sprinkle ginger
about a teaspoon minced garlic
Mix teriyaki, ginger and garlic together. Marinate tofu in sauce for at least 1 hour up to 3 or 4 days.
Veggies (use as much as your family will eat):
broccoli, trees broken apart
carrots sliced at an angle
onion, chunked or sliced
red and orange peppers, chunked or sliced
celery, sliced at an angle
asparagus cut in thirds
teaspoon minced garlic
any other veggie you like in stir fry
Sauce (can double if wanted):
1 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 Tbs corn starch

Mushroom and Spinach Quesadillas
I bought some mushrooms on clearance at the local grocery store. I got 16 oz for 70 cents. Quite the deal. I decided to make quesadillas for lunch.
Mushroom, Onion and Spinach Quesadillas
1 package of mushrooms sliced
1/2 onion sliced
spinach
cheese
flour tortillas
Saute mushroom and onion until nice and brown and yummy looking. Add a few handfuls of fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
In a skillet large enough, place one flour tortilla. Add about 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 cup mushroom mixture and another 1/2 cup cheese. Place 2nd flour tortilla on top. When cheese is starting to melt and bottom tortilla is browned, flip. Cook until cheese is completely melted. Cut with pizza cutter. Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
