@ nz_deevaa, that cocktail looks fantastic. What was it? Mojito or something more interesting?

You've mentioned that you make a pot of beans or lentils and then use them throughout the week. Do you have a recipe or do you just make them plain? I'd like to make beans from scratch instead of using canned, but mine always come out flat and tasteless.

I always season my beans really well before putting them in water with: Costco no salt seasoning, thyme, garlic, turmeric, lemon seasoning (the one with salt), black pepper and 2-3 tbs of olive oil. Stir really well so that the beans are all coated with the seasoning, then add the water, just enough to cover the beans and pressure cook for 15-20 minutes.

Of course I soak the beans overnight.

Made a bunch of chicken breasts in the crockpot with some taco seasoning, can of rotel, frozen corn, lime juice and garlic. Shredded it and will use for enchilada filling and assorted other what not. Last night put them over rice with cheese, sour cream, salsa and guacamole.

The whole batch:

Dessert:
Pumpkin Spice Gelato and Toasted Almond Gelato. Great combination...

I do make a pot of beans or lentils every Sunday and then use them throughout the week. I usually just cook them in water and add a large can of crushed tomatoes and/or low sodium veggie, chicken or beef stock, and I usually added some chopped onion and garlic and if needed I'll add a little salt to taste (the tomatoes and stock are already seasoned, so I usually don't add much salt). I don't over season them though because when we eat them during the week we like to add other seasonings, veggies, meats, when we reheat them.

Cut the cabbage in half and then slice it really thin, same goes for the large yellow onion. I sautéed in a cast iron dutch pan with two table spoons of coconut oil, I used half the head of cabbage and one onion. I stirred until well coated with the coconut oil and let it get a bit charerd on the bottom before stirring. I like it charred. At the end I added a bit of Greek seasoning( salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano) It fed two people as a side
