I think I'm making a meatloaf for supper tonight.

I made yogurt on Sunday

I also made turkey broth, using the bones from our Thanksgiving turkey, which have been taking up freezer space. I used a large oval Staub pot, which nicely holds the turkey bones to make the broth, which I strained into a bowl.

I used the same Staub pan, with about 75% of that broth, to make soup, thus making my husband happy that there was not an extra pot to wash. The soup's additional ingredients were browned ground turkey, 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Vegi-Mix (split green and yellow peas, red and brown lentils, and barley), sauteed chopped carrots, celery, and yellow bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, rehydrated dried onion, a tablespoon of Penzey's Ozark seasoning, and then, at the end of cooking, I add kale sauteed in olive oil. It began raining in the late afternoon on a chilly day, so soup is perfect for tonight, with enough left for at least four more meals. I froze the remaining turkey broth.

I went to my friends today we had grilled wings and stuffed peppers with cream cheese wrapped in bacon.

I made tortellini with the Boursin (it was on sale again) tomato no-cook sauce, enough for dinner tonight and tomorrow night. On Wednesday, I'm making pizza for a good friend and me to celebrate my birthday. Using The Baking Steel 72 Hour Dough, I made it yesterday and after it sat on the counter overnight, I put it in the fridge. Wednesday, I will take it out to make the dough balls and let it rest.

We had more of the soup for dinner tonight.

We had big salads using up some of the rotisserie chicken and eye of round, with a big handful of cut up tomatoes.

I made a roasted pork tenderloin yesterday with roasted potatoes and snap peas.

Today I had leftover pork with some pasta and green beans.

BLT's tonight, the tomatoes were small and that made the sandwiches a bit tricky to hold, but they were quite good.

I had a ham and cheese sandwich. I got sick had to go to doctor upper respiratory tract infection but I'm on the mend now.

[RiversideLen]

That's a lovely stir-fry, Len.

Glad you are on the mend, Joan.

We had more of the soup for dinner, I started feeling under the weather last night, so I took it easy today.

On Wednesday, my husband pan-cooked some boneless pork ribs and I roasted sweet potato chunks tossed in olive oil. We had microwaved frozen mixed vegetables as well.

[Joan Simpson]

Thanks BA and now I hope you're feeling better too.

Len your Stir-fry looks great!

I had bacon and tomato sandwich tonight.

What a lovely stir fry Len!
Tonight my friend Sue and I made our pizzas (I froze 2 of the dough balls). I had no problem shaping but getting them on the peel and into the oven was a bit of a learning curve. I ended up using parchment which worked great. I had the baking steel on the rack in the upper third of the oven, but it wasn't too close to the broiler. We cooked each for 4 minutes on the convection setting at 500 and then the broiler for 2. The parchment didn't burn. They were very good - the crust had a nice crisp outside/soft inside.
