Hi there everyone!!!! Chilllllyyy here in the Northeast...wishing I was in SE Fla., or AZ or some tropical beach somewhere:balloon:

Tonite we are having leftovers...last night I made Italian Wedding soup w/garlic bites...yummo! I made extra because I knew I would want some for tonite:blushing:....and also leftover roastbeef from Monday nite...along w/brown rice for the roastbeef and gravy and some sort of veggie... love leftove night...already made,and planned--just reheat and eat!
 
Wow! Nobody made dinner tonight? Must be that everyone is busy with the booking blitz. I made sloppy joes sort of from scratch. I say sort of because I use ketchup and store bought BBQ sauce (along with mustard, vinegar, worchestershire sp?, and pepper) for the sauce. I quite using the canned stuff a couple years ago, but it sure did come in handy at times.
 
I totally screwed up on dinner - I was going to make a Fresh Teriyaki Stir-Fry w/ Brown Rice, but DS and I were shopping this afternoon, and didn't get home until 5:30. I thought I'd still have DH had to leave for Program practice @ church...but it turns out he had to be there at 6pm, not 7pm.

Sooooo, he got warmed up Chicken apple sausages w/ steamed yellow & green beans, and an English muffin w/ blackberry jam.

DS and I ate a slice of leftover pizza, and then we had hot biscuits w/ butter & blackberry jam.

Hi there! I can totally relate to wanting to be in a warmer location right now. But at least we have delicious food to keep us warm! Your Italian Wedding soup with garlic bites sounds amazing. I love that you made extra for leftovers - it's always nice to have a quick and easy meal ready to go. And leftover night is definitely a great way to use up all those extra ingredients and save time in the kitchen. Happy cooking!
