Another easy one

Esther hasn't had much of an appetite (still hoping it's not the flu!) and Isaac had some special treats at school AND after school, so I knew they wouldn't be eating dinner. So, I made something I knew they wouldn't eat anyway!

I guess it's kind of a polenta lasagna? Layer a baking pan with slices of cooked polenta (comes in a plastic tube.) Then sauté 2-4 chopped zucchinis in some olive oil with garlic salt and pepper. Add a bunch of spinach, black olives, and some spaghetti sauce and simmer until spinach is wilted. Then I threw in the remaining leaves of my nearly dead basil plant. Pour all this on top of the polenta and bake at 350 for 15 mins or so.


 Kyle and I really liked this, but it's not something I'd make the kids eat. I think it would be even better to fry the polenta slices until crispy and just put the sauce on top. Mmm, fried food.

Next week I'm making 2 stand-by recipes and trying 2 new ones that use lentils, including a lentil "meatloaf"! I hope it'll be good!
