Oh, yum! Reminds me we're overdue for some liver. Better hustle my buns and get some before we stop BBQing for the season. That's the absolute best.


Our last bit of "experienced" salmon ended up in a goulash, on toast, with a side salad. It's eons since I've done salmon goulash, and it's a childhood favourite. Funny, I was still pondering what to do with the salmon as I drove home, and as I turned a corner, the aroma of hot toast wafted into the car, and the thing snapped into focus. Definitely a success.

I've gotta stick a chicken in the pressure cooker so I can shred it and make a nice chicken soup. Unfortunately, I dont think I'll have the energy today (again) so Ill probably put it off for one more day.

I see you've already had it. I was going to suggest maybe adding some pre-cooked veg like broccoli and even some potato, adding a bit of Hollandaise sauce and make little packets with Phyllo pastry, brown them up and voila!

Tonight i'm having a chicken casserole with dumplings and corn on the cob
Susan I'd love to have a recipe for the thick gravy. I love liver, especially the provimi liver.

I was CRAVING fettucine alfredo, but we didn't have very much parmesan cheese. I used up the leftover gruyere and oka along with the leftover parmesan and got what I wanted! It was extremely rich, so I'm saving it for tomorrow's lunch. But oh dear was it ever goooooooood!!!!

I had a calzone for dinner tonight. I spent a long time at the gym earlier, so I just grabbed something while I was out since I had to pick up my sister after I left the gym so we could print off my nephew's school report.


It was good!

MMMM. That sounds lovely, too. Tuck it behind the ear for next time.
And there will be plenty of them, as I never buy just enough salmon fillet -- there are so many wonderful things to do with the (don't call 'em leftovers -- it's experienced food! HoooooooooooKey!)

I'll just bet it was!!
Alfredo with OKA? Oh, my! Need an Oka fix.


And then there's tonight. Picked up some sacchettini with chicken and bacon filling. I think the lovely little tomato/basil sauce we love will work well. Easy, tasty, nourishing is where it's at tonight.

Last night I roasted a whole chicken in the oven and it was Yummy. I'm having leftovers for lunch today. I also made some sauteed garlic spinach and then attempted to make twice baked sweet potatoes but the skins fell off so we had more like mashed sweet potatoes. They were still yummy even though I didn't get to put them back in the oven a second time.

The recipes I used. Seriously I thought the chicken was sooooo good.

http://www.recipezaar.com/219113 The sweet potato recipe, I just doubled it for two people.

We are having a mystery from the freezer tonight. I usually freeze leftover soups and stews for an easy meal another time. This particular container was unidentifiable.
As it's thawing it looks like beef stew.

Tonight I had my leftover sandwich from last night from going out to dinner with my boyfriend's sister and her husband. I'll probably have a little salad after I workout too.

A friend came over for tea this evening and is also a vegitarian. So made a stilton, roasted pepper and pea rissotto. Amazing if i do say so myself. I served it with soda bread and a great chardonnay.

John isn't home tonight, so I made one of those Kraft Easy Mac Alfredo things. I made some canned corn as well and mixed it all together. I had a piece of bread with it as well.

Tired tonight so didn't feel up to cooking. Just had a green salad, with some cheese cubes and cashews thrown in for protein..Tasted pretty good with some Golden Caesar dressing..For dessert a bunch of concord grapes...
