I know it is a little early but I have a busy day planned for tomorrow. Here is this weeks recipes as well as comments from how I did last week. First up is last week comments and notes.
Wednesday - Fried Rice - Love this. I had a pork chop that I cooked up and used in the Fried Rice. When I make Fried Rice, I make a huge batch. This time it was enough for 4 meals with left over veggies and leftover rice. I thought I might use those in a pot pie.
These are all the things I put into the fried rice. My veggies were all canned since I had to rotate stock in the pantry. That is another reason why I made so much. So for veggies I have carrots, green beans, and corn. As mentioned before, I fried up a pork chop and diced it and I also scrambled some eggs. Obviously rice is also included. Spices? Just general ones...salt, pepper, minced garlic, a little bit of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.
As usual, what I like doesn't always photograph well. Fried Rice is such an example. That's ok though. It tasted VERY good and I looked forward to the leftovers.
Thursday - Leftovers - Obviously Fried Rice Leftovers were the leftovers of the day. Love them.
Friday - Shepherd Pie or Pot Pie - I changed this up for Spaghetti or Chili Mac as some would say. The Spaghetti Sauce but instead of Spaghetti noodles, I used up noodles from my leftover container. You know those little bits and bobs of noodles that you have leftover from a box of noodles. I put them all into a container so they get mixed up and then will use them for dishes like this. This batch has around 4 different types of noodles in it.
Saturday - Leftovers - Leftover Chili Mac...Yummm.
Sunday - BBQ Chicken - Changed it up to Leftovers
Monday - Chili - Changed it up to BBQ Chicken
Tuesday - Leftovers - Today's leftovers was BBQ Chicken
Side notes - Have you heard of Lefse? It is a treat that we would have every year around family gatherings. Lefse (pronounced “LEFF-sa”) are a lot like tortillas or flatbread, but much larger and thinner. For best results, use REAL butter and sugar. Spread the butter on, sprinkle it with sugar; roll it up, and enjoy! I had a Swedish boss who liked it with jelly instead of butter and sugar. Anyway, since it is "like" a tortilla, this week I used tortillas instead of Lefse to see how it would work. It's not the same but it was still good and I will probably make it again. It was nice to have a little treat during the week.
The other treat (snack) was cream cheese spread over tortillas. One time I put Everything Bagel seasoning on top but the other times it was just plain cream cheese.
That brings me to this week's menu.
Wednesday - March 29th - Yumesetti - it was taking up space in the freezer.
Thursday - March 30th - Pork chops with a veggie
Friday - March 31st - Leftovers. Probably Yumesetti since I only thawed out 1 pork chop.
Saturday - April 1st - Potato Soup
Sunday - April 2nd - leftovers
Monday - April 3rd - Spaghetti Casserole
Tuesday - April 4th - Leftovers. Leftovers will always be on the schedule for Tuesdays so that I can clean out the frig before taking out garbage. :)
What's on your menu for this week? Care to take bets on how well I stick to this menu? I don't blame you for not taking that bet. I do change it up a lot but that's ok. It keeps me thinking about what to eat and therefore I don't have a lot of waste.
