Leftover Kabob Fajitas #SundayFunday

This delicious meal starts with leftover kabobs.  You can use chicken, beef, or a combination of both.  Slice up the leftover meat and vegetables, place in a crockpot with a package of fajita seasoning and some water, and enjoy your day.  When you are ready to eat, heat up some tortillas, and dinner is served.

Hawaiian Shredded Chicken and the Weekly Menu

I had 2 leftover chicken breasts and 6 hungry mouths to feed.  This delicious crockpot meal provided enough to feed all of us.  

This chicken is slow-cooked in a sweet and tangy sauce until it is fall-apart tender.  It makes delicious sandwiches, add a side salad or some chips, and dinner is served.

Brunswick Stew, an Invitation, and the Weekly Menu #LitHappens

Happy Independence Day!!  I think today is a great day to introduce a very funny, yet serious book about the Country in which we live today.  

This novel will make you laugh and make you cry, but most importantly, this novel will make you pause and think.

These savory muffins make the perfect accompaniment to soup or salad.  Filled with herbs and parmesan cheese, each bite is tangy, earthy, and satisfying.

More Repurposed Leftovers and The First Weekly Menu of 2025 for the 9th Day of Christmas

Well, the holidays are nearly over.  Here it is the 9th day of Christmas already.  I'm sharing another recipe using the leftovers from Christmas Day.  This Roasted Shrimp Fried Rice is simple to make and so good that you could serve it to guests without them ever realizing they are helping you use up the leftovers.

Sharing Leftovers for the 3rd Day of Christmas

The other day I shared with you this Roasted Vegetable Soup.  I had about 2 cups of soup leftover so I decided to use it as a base for this delicious Roasted Vegetable Lasagna.  I added fresh baby spinach between the layers for extra color and nutrition.  

It was one of 3 lasagnas that I served at out Annual Santa Party this year.  It was met with great success.

Our Thanksgiving, The First Thanksgiving and the Weekly Menu starting with Leftovers #LitHappens

We had a very nice Thanksgiving with a large gathering of Family and Friends.  It was a festive, casual affair filled with love and laughter.  And some tears....for those we love who could not share the day with us due to work, distance, or other commitments and for those who are watching down from Heaven whom we miss more during the holidays, it seems.

The holidays are always bittersweet as you reminisce about days of yore and create new memories that will be shared long after you are no longer present except in spirit.  

Cranberry Squash Muffins #MuffinMonday

These savory muffins contain all the flavors of Thanksgiving.  They would be a perfect addition to your table or you could use up leftovers making them for breakfast the following day.

It's time for Muffin Monday.......

Repurposing Meatloaf Two Ways

Last Saturday, my brother, Dick, joined us for dinner.  We had Mass before he was scheduled to arrive so I decided to make Crockpot Meatloaf so it would be ready when we got home.  I made a batch and a half because Rae had said she would make Meatloaf Sandwiches for dinner on Sunday.

As a kid, Mom sometimes packed me leftover meatloaf sandwiches for lunch.  Cold meatloaf on soft bread with ketchup.  I loved it but had never made it myself.  Rae's Meatloaf Sandwich was nothing like that!!!

Southwest Pizza and the Weekly Menu

I am still having fun with my new outdoor pizza oven.  My latest pizza was inspired by leftovers that I had in my refrigerator from these Southwest Chicken Foil Packets.

This pizza is perfect for a Meatless Monday Meal.  A base of tomato sauce flavored with taco seasoning mix, corn, black beans, fresh tomatoes, and onions topped with shredded Mexican blend cheese.

K is for Kwasnica (Polish Sauerkraut and Pork Soup) starting with Leftovers

Pasta to finish up the Leftovers on the 3rd Day of Christmas

Santa brought me pasta attachments for my Kitchen-Aid Mixer this year.  I had fun playing with it on this 3rd Day of Christmas and as a bonus, I used up the leftover shrimp I had in the refrigerator from Christmas Day.

Baked Mac and Cheese with Ham for the First Day of Christmas

Our Christmas Season continues until January 6th when we celebrate the Epiphany.  Until then, our decorations remain, the tree stays lit, and the feasting continues.  It is a joyous time of year.

Our feasting this week includes enjoying all the wonderful leftovers from our abundant Christmas Dinner. Tonight we enjoyed some leftover ham and leftover cheese from my cheese tray in a Macaroni and Cheese Casserole.  There was some Broccoli Slaw left to enjoy as a side dish.
