We had pasta and sauce with sausage, peppers, onions. And rye-semolina rolls.
I made turkey soup from the Thanksgiving turkey carcass. I added a frozen veggie mix and egg noodles. It has snowed off and on all day, with winds gusting into the 30 mph range, so this was a perfect meal for us.
I made rhubarb muffins with chopped rhubarb from the garden that I froze early last summer.
We had roasted chicken thighs with Greek seasoning, risotto with broccoli, and butternut squash.
Dinner was omelets with ham, cheese, veggies, and English muffins.
I made burger buns this morning.
I made a fish casserole for dinner tonight - crab meat, "chowder fish" on sale at the local market, and a can of cream of shrimp soup, topped with crumbled saltines. Simple but tasty, and quick to prepare.
I made two loaves of buttermilk oatmeal wheat bread this morning.
Dinner was a repeat of Thanksgiving dinner, warmed up leftovers. Just as tasty as the first time around.
Yesterday I made two 7" cheesecakes. One regular cheesecake recipe (32 oz cream cheese, 4 eggs, etc) fits perfectly into them. I made one with a filling that was flavored with raspberry liqueur, a chocolate graham cracker crust, a layer of filling, a layer of individually frozen raspberries, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, another layer of filling, and topped with ganache. The other one I flavored with lemon and lime juice. One of these will go into the freezer for a future treat.
I had a green salad, and my husband had baked beans and hot dogs for dinner. I told him he had to finish up the apple pie I made the other day because I need the pie plate for the pecan pie I'm going to make tomorrow. He didn't buy that, he knows I have plenty of pie plates.
Joan, that's so good of you to cook him something that will entice him to eat. It sounds like he'll want to eat some Thanksgiving dinner too.
That sounds so good, BakerAunt.
I made an apple pie this morning. I've been really sick with a lung infection for 5 weeks, so standing in the kitchen for over an hour to make it was a challenge, but it shows that I am finally making progress and getting better.
I'm waiting for the usual holiday baking goods sales - nothing here yet. On a good note: KABC has just announced a "retail store sale" of 15% off $60 or more! Almost all of their sales exclude retail store sales! I need to work on my gift list to see what I might want to buy.
Dinner tonight was tomato soup from the freezer, with blueberry muffins hot out of the oven. Tomorrow we are going to our son's home for Thanksgiving dinner; he is smoking a turkey. I'm really looking forward to this as their three children and significant others will be there also.
