I got the lentil meatball recipe from one of the threads here. I think it was the one "whats for supper tonight?". And if I'm not mistaken it was breslov's recipe/invention. I don't have time to look for it now but maybe you can do a search.

I actually make my menus for the whole month. There is nothing I hate more than finally figuring out what to make for dinner just to realize that I am missing an ingredient.

No wonder. You need to see what's cheap and what's fresh in teh stores and THEN plan on your dinner.

With all of that said, I have been really bad and I have not made my menu since this summer!

No wonder. That's a huge job and you can't know your schedule nec. so far in advance.

Oh, and to the Amother that said "she can't believe that more ppl don't eat milchigs for dinner", let me clue you in that it's not cheap & it's not fat free, either. and if ppl eat cheese for lunch, it's less than attractive for dinner, too....
