I reiterate, I hate waste. Packing lunches for The Man helps get rid of a lot of leftovers, but it can get boring for him. I try to reinvent as I go, as you can see from last night's dinner. So, this morning I was faced with a dilemma - we both have a long day, and have plans with friends tonight after work without dinner, so we need substantial lunches to get us through. The quinoa pilaf from the other night wasn't enough for two but just a little too much for one, even with a protein. So I went back a little further, and pulled the turkey bolognese out of the freezer, grabbed a bag of shredded cheese, and made a mexican-esque lasagne thingie. Layers of quinoa, turkey and veggies in red sauce, and cheese went in to the baby Crock-Pots.
After a couple of hours in the baby Crock, this is what we got:
Layers of flavors, warm and bubbly, and really yummy. We will definitely be making this again!
