Food and Cooking

I need a thread for what I cooked last week because half of what I make depends on what is on sale/mark-down when I go shopping. For example: last week, pre-made macaroni salad was marked-down for quick sale to $3 for 2 pounds. I don't like how sharp/acidic and runny the pre-made is, but it has a pretty good flavor, so I bought that, cooked up another 8 ounces of elbows and added them in with lots of celery and some sour cream. That worked as a side and snack for the rest of the week.

I also made: hummus from dried beans (which gets eaten with bread, olives and jarred peppers), multiple salads, veggie tacos, and Sesame noodles with julienned carrots, cukes, red bell peppers, and cilantro (I didn't have green onions on hand). We also ate sandwiches and snacked on cheese & crackers with fruit (cherries, mostly).
