This was basically the typical Hungry Grill Enchilada Casserole except with beef instead of chicken. Also, we discovered that the healthy option condensed soup was healthier than the 98% fat free. I do not know if it made a difference, but it was good in here.
I do not recall what else I did differently or changes, but it was very good!
We also had steamed edamame on the side which we both enjoyed!

This was the pretty standard taquitos but as usual, there is a lot of room to play. I do not remember exactly what I did (it was a while ago), but they came out great. Off the top of my head, I remember putting some carrots in (which you couldn't even taste but made it healthier) and some black beans (new idea). Other than that, the pretty standard onion, some corn, shredded chicken and two melted laughing cow cheeses to bind it all.
I again shredded the chicken in the mixer. However, in testing to see if it was done enough form the pressure cooker, I cut it into too small of pieces. That made it really hard to shred so I had to run it for a while. It didn't matter in this application since it was going in something, but I should be more careful in the future.
Also, I usually use a hot pan to warm the tortillas before rolling but this time I used the non-stick. It was even easier.

We made salmon just like I described here but with some Emril Essence. I also roasted sweet potatoes. It was a very orange meal, but very tasty.

This was a long time ago so I do not remember all of the details but we made stir fry with tofu (bought by accident). We used soy sauce, some teriyaki, and a bunch of other stuff.
We used real brown rice done in the pressure cooker. According to the timing chart at<http://missvickie.com/howto/grains/rice-cooking.htm>I was supposed to use 18 minutes and then a natural cool with a 1:2

Meredith made this so she may have more comments, but we made 4 lbs of Beef Barbacoa. We had it for one dinner and 3 lunches. It was really good and nice having it for all of our meals later in the week. The broth was also really tasty. We also made something like the veggie tian before

This was so long ago and I am pretty sure Meredith made it so I do not recall what everything was. I'll let Meredith come back and describe it if she remembers

We made quinoa from the recipe below. Meredith put it together so she may have more comments, but we basically followed the base of the recipe though we needed a bit more egg. We also used gouda instead of the parmesan. We also used regular flour. Instead of frying it, we baked it like the zucchini fritters. We baked them at 440°F for 15 minutes, then flipped them and baked for another 10. I was prepared to have to really scrape but in the end, they came off nicely. They were really good. I really liked the thin parts that were extra crispy. The flavor was subtle which contrasted with the patatas bravas and its heat. It didn't help that my head/nose was stuffed so the flavors were even harder to discern.
The patatas bravas we more or less based on the standard except I also added some leftover canned sauce. I used a lot of cayenne and all of the called for paprika was hot paprika plus, I added some smoked hot. I also forgot the garlic and vinegar but I added a lot of onion and garlic powder. The sauce was good, but it was rather spicy. Again, being a bit stuffed up, made this strong flavor eclipse the quinoa.
