Meal 1: Veggie Burgers and Sweet Potato Oven Fries, Cole Slaw
· If the patties are stacked in your container, remove them to a baking sheet. Bake the burger patties and fries in the oven at 350° until hot 10 – 15 minutes – watch the fries, they may need less time than the burgers.
· Season the slaw with salt and serve alongside the hot items.
Meal 2: Baked Penne With Ricotta, Roasted Red Peppers, and Red Onions, White Bean and Escarole Salad, Whole Wheat Bread Braids
· Heat the oven to 350° and bake the pasta until hot and bubbly and the cheese has begun to brown – about 12-15 minutes.
· Serve the bean salad at room temp or heat briefly in a sauté pan with some olive oil and a dash of water.
· Warm the braids and serve
