Italian Vegetable Saute

Monday, May 10th, 2010

This is a quick and easy side that I made to go along with some more of the leftover pork loin, which I just sliced thinly and placed on top of the saute before covering the skillet to warm through. Italian Vegetable Saute Serves 4 1 tbsp olive oil 3 cloves garlic, pressed 1 tsp ...

Pork Enchilada Scramble

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

This is a result of leftover pork from yesterday. It would be equally good with leftover chicken, or fresh of either one - just cook for longer. All I did was cut up one of my pork loin pieces into small bite-sized chunks, heated up a little canola ...

Chicken Potato Scramble

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

This was a quick and easy use of some leftovers from last night's roasted chicken. It's full of protein, and if my skillet wasn't so full, I would have thrown in some more veggies too. We're trying to cut down on the processed carbs and foods this month ...

Chicken Noodle Soup

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Chicken noodle soup tonight - I had a dentist appointment after work, so an easy to chew dinner was in order. Today I browned the butter a bit for more flavor, used leftover rotisserie chicken, used fiori instead of egg noodles, and used some fresh thyme since I had ...

Corned Beef and Cabbage Hash

Friday, March 19th, 2010

A quick and easy breakfast that I packed up to take to work with me today. I just melted half a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet, used kitchen shears to cut my last wedge of cabbage and 2 slices of corned beef into little pieces, added them ...

Ghetto Garlic Bread

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

We needed to use up a couple leftover hot dog buns from dinner the other night, so I melted a tablespoon and a half of butter, added a couple cloves of pressed garlic and a few generous pinches of oregano and parsley, spread the mixture over the buns, and popped ...

Chicken Fried Rice

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

This is an easy and tasty meal that uses up leftover steamed rice. Next time I'm going to add a little fresh garlic just before adding the rice to the wok. This was very good but could use just a little more flavor to push it to excellent. Chicken ...

Turkey Tamales

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I made turkey tamales for lunch today (see post below on leftover round-up for the recipe). Almost out of leftovers now :-)

Turkey Leftovers Roundup

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

With just the two of us, even a little 10 pound bird leaves us with many leftovers. Besides the long honored traditions of eating it cold out of the fridge ;-) or toasting up some bread and putting turkey and gravy on top for an easy ...

Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Pork Burritos

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

We roasted two pork tenderloins for dinner Sunday night (similar to this recipe, but without the final glaze). For a side I served some baked winter squash, a baby hubbard squash in this case. The squash baked at the same temperature. I just cut it in half, ...
