Wow, very impressive. I promise not to use the "D" word again. lol
 
Well, big brother will be here for dinner again tonight. How do I compete with last night? Although, he said he'd be happy with leftovers from last night.:)

Hmmm, have to think of something good...
 
Chocolate shake.
 
Tonight's menu will be Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, and peas.
 
Something very low key for us this evening. Since husband has a study group this evening and won't be home for dinner, it's just me and a not-very-hungry three year old. The kid just won't stop playing to take the time to eat dinner....he'd rather play with his Matchbox cars, ride his bike, or play with his new Power Wheels John Deere tractor.

Sloppy Joes
Corn
Fresh green beans
Homemade Raspberry-Chcolate Chip cookies

It's not that exciting, think of the variety that "slims" you down "fast"

Oh...bummer...

It would *have* to work fast, I'm certain I couldn't "eat" that as a meal for more than a few days! You have more willpower than I do!

I'm making shepherd's pie. Easy and quick, especially because I got a tub of already made mashed potatoes at the grocery store (on sale, with a coupon).

In my house it is "Clean out the Refrigerator" night...need to either eat or pitch these leftovers! I might get creative and try to "reinvent" a few, but I'm not really feeling the inspiration or motivation.

Just made Mexican Chicken Lasagne with the whole chicken I scored at the grocery store today for $2.50 (it was a quick sale as today was the sell by date-I got 3 of them:) I can not believe how juicy the chicken was in the microwave. I plan to "bake" another one tonight and freeze the meat.

I changed up the mexican chicken lasagna by using flour tortilla's and ground beef with taco seasoning instead of the chicken and corn tortillas. It tastes better to us

Well, we ended up having a mixture of leftovers from last night - leftover venison steak, and I took the leftover potatoes and added some sour cream and cream cheese to them, covered it with some shredded cheddar and baked it. Then we grilled some pork chops, and had baked beans and steamed sugar snap peas.

BUT - the best part of the meal were the absolutely perfect, delicious strawberries I got at Costco today! They were "as big as Micah's head" according to my brother - and the sweetest strawberries ever! We all agreed they tasted just like summer. I bought a 4 lb container, and we ate about 3 lbs of them tonight! Plain strawberries - but the very best part of the meal!
