I’m using the leftover beyond sausage roll filling I have and make a simple pasta sauce with bucatini and some leftover veggies from the veg platter to make a big salad with the last piece of iceberg lettuce I had in the fridge. Using a Caesar vinaigrette dressing and sourdough buns on the side.

turkey soup using the leftover turkey we had

I am blown away at that snack platter that is ALL vegan! @harbie it is so very impressive looking! Bonus that all the items taste really good! Congrats.
DH and I did a shameful early lunch at Mandarin on Monday. But I have no regrets ( yet ) because being early like that it is my most satisfying time to enjoy a meal.
We arrived just after 11:30.
I stuck to my rule of a spoonful of each thing I put on my plate(s). This way I get to taste and enjoy many items without filling up too fast.
California rolls were the exception, had 6! After a while was clear I had to make a choice..... more food or Dessert?
As I returned to our table and placed the dinner plate filled with my choices, I said to DH " this almost looks like a sharing plate doesn't it ? "
He paused and I said " just TRY and take anything ! " ha ha He went up and came back with his 2 fav's an almond cookie and a coconut macaroon.
That meal ended up being our dinner because we were both still full-ish right up till around 9 p.m.

Going to make Homemade Chinese for Dinner tonight. We will have:

-
Steamed citrusy garlic sweet potatoes, spicy/sweet garlic tofu and fresh spinach with the last of the salad
-
@harbie
, those steamed citrusy garlic sweet potatoes sounds delicious.
-
Tonight we are having Chicken Enchiladas filled with Shredded Chicken, Homemade Enchilada Sauce, Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms & Cheddar.

DH stunned me. His Tuesday dinner request was to have one of the Butterball frozen " football " things with mashed spuds, cooked carrots, canned turkey gravy, some of my homemade stuffing ( frozen portions to be warmed up ) and pan fried red pepper and snow peas. Yikes...hadn't he had his fill of the fowl at Christmas?
No problem, the football took no effort, 4 hours from frozen in a 325 oven.
We each sipped our last glass of dinner wine with that meal There was more than enough leftovers to make up 2 work meals for the guys as they return to work today.
@harbie
you also returned to the grind today too eh? Sorry retirement is a bit of a way off for you BUT you'll need no training for it when it arrives.
-
Chicken stuffed rolls,with a salad...I splurged in a iceberg for 2,88$ and it is a small head...I guess it is still a treat???:yikes:
-
Dh got A&W beyond burgers for us. I had a very physical and long day at work plus filling up the car ( diesel is much cheaper but I have a bit of a drive to get there) plus my workout nearly killed me!
Hoping for some inspiration for tonight……….. I have a butternut… hmmmmmmm…….to be continued
-
Super lazy dinner. Nachos with a massive garden salad. The nachos were actually really good and I only added a little of the browned impossible ground round so it wasn’t greasy.
-
Cheated last night and had Mary Brown's for dinner. Take-Out once in a while, is not a bad thing just cannot become a habit.
I have to remind myself of this because I always worry we will slide down that slippery slope and fall back into old habits. But, I also know the situation has changed.
-
Tonight we are trying Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Skillet Meal. It is all cooked in one pan and has Chicken, Orzo & Mushrooms in it.
-
Slow Cooker has been cooking a pork shoulder for 8 hours. Soon done. Will rip it up and make Tacos tonight and then with left overs a chili next day

Tonight I will be making a Beef Roast with Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and a vegetable. Not sure on the vegetable yet but we have options, just need to pick one.
-
It was a clean out the fridge of odd and ends last night so I made a sundried tomato and spinach just egg scramble, garlic and Daiya cheese crescent rolls with Silver Hills WW toast and the last of the salad. Weird but it worked.
-
Tonight it is rather simple. Heating up 2 small hams ( those precooked numbers ), will have with boxed Herb and butter mashed, roasted cauliflower and corn on the cob. I did buy a fresh pineapple today but I might just open a small can instead of slices to serve with the ham. The corn was on the reduced rack at WM. 4 cobs for 2 bucks! all shucked and cleaned for me.
Making extra of the meat so the guys can then make up their work meals for Monday from the leftovers. Gotta think ahead always.
-
Fettuccinne(pastas) Alfredo with Classico sauce.
-
Last night we made Egg Roll in a Bowl.
I love this dish but it is a bit labour-intensive to cut everything up. I pre-prepped all of the veggies except the mushrooms (I know some do pre-cut mushrooms and stores sell them pre-sliced but I do not pre-prepping my mushrooms) so all I had to do last night was cut the mushrooms, make the sauce and cook the Rice (I could have pre-prepped the rice but, I didn't) it made it so easy.
-
Tonight is a choice. Leftover pasta (I just made fresh pasta to go with the sauce from the other night)
Or Steak strips with veggies and a baked potato if wanted. (cooking up the steak now so dinner will be easy)
-
Last night DS ordered and paid for 3 x 1/4 chicken dinners, so Swiss Chalet won out yet again. DH and I should NOT have indulged but .....drool, once it was here who can resist?
-
Last night we had Homemade Burgers pulled from the freezer with Oven Fries.
It was one of those days where I wanted everything I saw on TV, Burgers won.
-
Last night was garlic and fennel field roast sausage naan pizzas and salad.
-
I cooked up a box of frozen sirloin burgers thinking the guys will LOVE these for work....ha ha NOPE! They are taking DH's beef barley soup again. Guess they are in a soup mood.
Friday they can eat the burgers, but tonight I'll be Shake 'n Baking some lovely thick pork chops. Will probably have those on Saturday with my favourite veg...bright green steamed green beans, FB had the bags of them on sale for $2.98
-
Tonight we are having one of my favourites. Balsamic Chicken & Mushrooms over Mashed Potatoes.
I am a sucker for anything Balsamic and I love this dish so much.
To up the Balsamic a little more, I made a Salad with Romaine. Cucumbers, Peppers, Salad Topper & Balsamic Dressing
-
Last night was not a good night, totally did not have a plan for dinner plus had lunch late so not really hungry.
Around 6, I pulled a pack of Salsa Chicken from the Freezer, sauteed some Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers and made a Taco Bake using Tortillas and Cheddar.
On the side I made a Salad with Romaine, Cucumbers, Peppers, Cheddar and Ranch Dressing.
-
Last night I went casserole crazy! Made 2 new ones ( new to me ) Both in 9 x 13 ceramic dishes.
First one listed as a One Pan Cheesy Root Veggie casserole and the 2nd was Baked Spaghetti .
Reason: I had 1 very large sweet potato and 3 beets left in my cold room from Christmas, so I added the last 2 carrots from the crisper and 3 apples ( that clearly had not
been doing their moisturizing regime )...... wrinkled! When the recipe says " cheesy " they mean it. Both turned out so delicious, can be side dishes OR main meal.
Comfort food won out again.
-
Veggies and cheese quiche with macaroni salad...simple but good :)
Happy Saturday :)
