      Probably won't do much cooking today.

        We had leftover soup from the freezer for dinner tonight, with enough left for tomorrow. I had planned it so that I would not need to cook the day we returned home. We had it with Rye-Barley Crispbread left from the trip.

            I started a two day soup project - well, I'm making it a two day project around everything else I need to do.

            This morning I took a couple of rotisserie chicken carcasses out of the freezer and made chicken stock and then I roasted 3 chicken breasts for Ina's Chicken Pot Pie Soup - tomorrow I will prepare the vegetables and make the soup. I need to have something easy on hand for the long work days this week - I often forget to have something prepared and end up with tuna or cheese sandwiches - warm soup seems better.

                  Tonight I had leftover sausages, with wieners and coleslaw. I cooked a pan of squash and onions tonight to make squash casserole tomorrow.

                    For dinner on Tuesday, I had thawed a cooked half turkey breast from Thanksgiving and the leftover gravy I had frozen as well. I sauteed sliced carrots and celery, chopped red bell peppers (the ones that finally ripened on the plants we brought inside to overwinter), and a half pound of sliced mushrooms in avocado oil. I added the gravy and simmered, then added the cut-up turkey (prepared by Scott). I boiled some noodles, being sure to drain the about two minutes early, then combined them with the turkey mixture. We have enough for a couple more dinners.

                        Joan, it is very good even 2 days later - I have a couple of quarts to freeze. Another time I would cut the chicken into smaller pieces

                          For Christmas dinner on Thursday, I made Maple-Glazed Pork Tenderloin and muddled mashed potatoes. We also had apple sauce from the freezer and microwaved fresh broccoli.

                                My son's doing most of the cooking this week. I made the angel food cake, bagels, and I did the oyster stew on Christmas Eve, he's done all the rest. We had ham on Christmas, we're having onion soup tonight.

                                  We had leftover noodles with turkey and vegetables from a few nights ago for dinner on Friday.
