I improvised a variation on Shepherd's Pie tonight to use up the leftover muddled mashed potatoes and gravy, along with some of the turkey. I made a doubled recipe of the white sauce that I use for my turkey lasagna and mixed in the gravy. I sautéed chopped carrots, celery, green onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms and kale in some olive oil. I added a heaping 2 cups of turkey, and then I threw in some leftover frozen corn and seasoned with ½ tsp. poultry seasoning. I combined it with the white sauce in a deep 9 x 9-inch-deep casserole baking dish. I spread the mashed potatoes over the top and baked for 40 minutes at 400 F. As I had feared, I used too much sauce; a 1 ½ recipe of it would have been enough. It was like eating a thick gravy stew. However, it was delicious, and perfect for a cold day that saw two inches of snow, the most significant amount we have had this season.

We are supposed to get serious snow on Tuesday, so we will be doing our major shopping trip tomorrow.

We had haddock and roasted veggies: potato, parsnips, carrots, red peppers, onions, and Brussels sprouts. I used a garlic and rosemary seasoning packet from Stonewall Kitchen which was very good.

I had ham and cheese on rye (my pizza crust is 25% rye, which might be more than commercially made rye bread).

There was also mushrooms, green peppers and onions hiding under the cheese.

Our light were out all day yesterday due to the storm so I had crackers and whatever was on the counter didn't want to open the fridge.Finally came on around 8 pm.Tonight I had pulled pork,squash and a big salad.

Pizza looks great Len.

The pork chops recipe looked good Mike.

I was out today with my friend we ate out and I had a Reuben.

Navlys hope you and your husband feel better soon.
