Cook Once, Eat Twice: Taco & Rice Dinner one night and Stuffed Peppers another

Start with:

3 bags soy-burger crumbles
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix

5 cups cooked rice (1¾ cup long grained white rice =5 cups cooked)

Cook "beef " according to directions, with onion, pepper and taco seasoning. Separate half of the mixture, and 2 cups of the rice. Cool and refrigerate in separate tightly sealed containers.

Meal 1: Tacos & Rice Dinner

Your family’s choice of :

chopped onion
chopped bell pepper
diced tomato
mashed avocado
chopped jalapeno pepper
shredded lettuce or cabbage
sour cream
warmed crunchy or soft taco shells

Set it all out with the rice and soy meat, then let your family build their own creation.

Meal 2: Stuffed Peppers

I never really liked stuffed peppers until I tried them with this Mexican twist. They are a real crowd pleaser! Some have told me they add beans in place of half the rice and my kids loved it when I once threw a cup of corn in the mix. This dish freezes well. In fact the peppers will be softer if you do. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.

We serve this with a simple salad of shredded cabbage with french dressing

You’ll need:

1 egg, beaten
2 cups cooked rice
4-6 bell peppers, halved lengthwise, stemmed and seeded
1 (19 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15-16 ounce) jar salsa
shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, crumble "meat" mixture, mix in the beaten egg. Gently stir in the rice and beans or corn if using.

2. Spread tomatoes and one cup water on the bottom of an ovenproof 9x13 inch inch baking dish.

3. Spoon stuffing into peppers. Place peppers, cut side up, on top of the tomatoes. Top each pepper with salsa. Cover pan tightly with foil. (at this point you may freeze or continue with the recipe)

4. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes until peppers are soft.

5. Uncover baking pan, top each pepper with cheese Broil about 1 minute until the cheese is melted

Some of my favorites are

Fettucini with Mushroom cream sauce

4 tablespoon/s Olive Oil
1 pound/s Mushroom Sliced
3 Cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon/s Dried Thyme
1 Large Red Pepper Chopped
1 cup/s Heavy Cream
1/2 cup/s Milk
1/2 cup/s Parmesan Cheese Optional
1 pound/s Fettucini Noodles

Preparation
Cook the fettucini noodles. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil on high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme for about 6 minutes. Add the chopped red pepper and let it go for another 3 minutes. Add the cream, milk and cheese. Simmer for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the fettucini and serve immediately.

Tuna Quiche

1 package/s Puff Pastry
2 can/s Tuna Fish
2 squirt Ketchup
2 Eggs
2 tablespoon/s Mayonnaise
1/2 cup/s Grated Cheese Optional

Preparation
Take a round pie dish and put pastry down to cover it. Mix together the tuna, ketchup, eggs, mayonnaise and pour over the dough. Sprinkle the cheese on top if you are using. Put puff pastry on top either covering it or making lattice strips. Bake at 400F for about 30 minutes

Teriyaki Salmon

4 -6 Salmon Fillets
Marinade
2 tablespoon/s Vegetable Oil
3 tablespoon/s -4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1/4 cup/s Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon/s Prepared Mustard Or 1 Tbsp Prepared Mustard
1 teaspoon/s Ginger
1/4 teaspoon/s Garlic Powder
1/4 cup/s Brown Sugar

Preparation
Mix all ingredients for the marinade together in a glass bowl or plastic ziploc bag. (If the sugar isn’t dissolving, you might want to boil the ingredients together in a small saucepan, and then let it cool. But if you can avoid doing so, there will be less mess and clean up.) Set aside 1/3 cup of the marinade for basting, and refrigerate. Add salmon to the rest of the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 1½ hours, turning once. Drain and discard marinade. Broil salmon 3-4 inches from heat for 5-8 minutes. Turn over and brush with reserved marinade (a brush used to egg challos is great for this. Just rinse it well afterwards!!). Broil 5-8 minutes more, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Before serving, brush with marinade again. Serve hot.

Haloumi Salad

1 tablespoon/s Lemon Juice
2 tablespoon/s White Wine Vinegar
1 teaspoon/s Capers

Fry cheese slices in hot oil on either side until golden. Prepare dressing by mixing first 9 ingredients together. Garlic cloves should be crushed. Place the fried haloumi cheese on top of the salad and drizzle the dressing over it.

That recipe looks good. My questions are: does the salmon need to be fresh or will it work with frozen salmon?
What kind of oil?

Thanks!

If you're ok with frozen salmon, then you can definately do this with frozen. Especially since it's soaked in lemon first. Just defrost salmon before starting.
Use olive oil.
And the baking time is a little off. Bake at a higher temp and for a bit longer than listed once uncovered.
Really delicious.
