Leftovers for me!

>> Thursday, January 12, 2012

I had leftover shells stuffed with broccoli and ricotta. It's one of the freezer meals I put together before E. was born and it was pretty tasty for having sat in the freezer for a couple of months. I also had an extra 5 minutes, so I threw together a small spinach salad. Spinach, red onion, cucumber, and feta with a olive oil vinaigrette. The baby weight is going to come off, I'm determined!

Leftovers, Lisa

Today the kids and I had leftovers. We had potatoes and carrots, fried (sauteed?) in a bit of cooking spray, and leftover pork roast chopped up as bbq. We also have a couple Cuties. I ate all of mine, The Bug and Bo Peep ate the pork and the cuties (the Bug also picked out and ate his carrots), and the Princess ate the Cuties.

Thursday Lunch

To drop the couple of pounds I gained over Christmas-curses to all those yummy treats I enjoyed, like the homemade toffee my friend Barb sent me, I've vowed to eat a light lunch.  Today it was three juicy clementines.

Cold Vietnamese Noodles with Beef

If I drop Randy at work in the morning, I get an extra half hour in the office to myself. Totally worth it, plus it cuts an hour off his commute. My friend Cindy works right near him, so I alerted her to my arrival in her vicinity and asked her to pick a place that was cheap and kid-friendly. She picked a noodle shop near the train tracks, and oh my GOD it was good. She got spicy kimchee with seafood over fried rice, which I stuck my fork in repeatedly. Abby was happy to share my noodles, but wouldn't go near the beef. The big hit was the honeydew milk-tea with pearls, of course. Om nom NOM.

I'm so excited to be invited/I invited myself to the party!

I love lunch and today I'm happy to say I had leftovers; three small square pieces of Perry's Plate Zucchini Pizza.  I made it last night and my husband and I couldn't finish it all.  He kind of likes regular pizza but he humors me with my fancy pizza.  He did admit that the garlic oil on the crust was what made it so delicious.

I used the second dough to make a kid-friendly pizza with red sauce and a little bit of freshly grated mozzarella on top.  The kids ate all their pizza-it helped that Groovy Girl had two friends over but Teenage Boy ended up having to eat a "second" dinner of Amy's mac and cheese.

I love leftovers!

Bacon And Jam Sandwich

Randy fried up some turkey bacon and asked me if I'd like it on a sandwich while I worked. I said yeah, and he hesitantly asked "do you want something ... something sweet on it?" This grosses him out, but he knows salty plus sweet is my FAVE. "Yes, put cream cheese jam on it," I told him. "The cranberry-horseradish jam." He sighed, but made a hell of a sandwich. Om nom nom.

January 8, Lisa, Jambalaya

Today Mike made a big pot of jambalaya (or, South Dakota Style jambalaya)- Chicken, sausage, rice, bell peppers, onions, okra. Very yummy and not too spicy for everyone.
