Earlier in the week I had roasted off 3 chicken breasts for chicken chili.  Since that time we’ve been in the breasts doing other things with it, like sandwiches.  I didn’t want to make the chili without it’s full compliment of chicken, so I was looking for something to use that chicken in.  I usually [...]

I spent the day working on a leaking dam in the foothills above Seattle in the rain.  Come dinner time I was cold and wet.  Even though we’ve eaten a gallon of soup so far this week. that’s what sounded good, and God knows I’ve got plenty of it leftover in my fridge!

DINNER - Salmon [...]

I had a long, although not stressful day at work and several errands to rub afterwords so I didn’t have a lot of time to make dinner.  The fridge is full of leftovers, mostly chicken of some sort and soups.  After several days of this it was time for a change, something different and quick [...]

It’s chicken stew / soup week here at my house.  I didn’t plan it but every meal I’ve made so far this week seems to be a soup or stew featuring chicken.  Tonight is no different!

DINNER - Chicken & Rosemary Dumplings - I don’t know where I picked up this recipe, but it sucks.  If [...]

I’m not sure where I picked up tonight’s recipe, but I’ve been wanting to try it out for some time.  I was going to try it earlier in the week, but something came up and I didn’t get the chance.  It also presented the opportunity to use some more freezer meat!

DINNER - Beef Fried Rice [...]

I got a Penzey’s spices catalog the other day and in it were some recipes.  There are usually 1 or 2 that look pretty good and this one was no exception.  I thought I’d give Curried Chicken with Vegetables over Turmeric Rice a try.

DINNER - Curried Chicken with Vegetables over Turmeric Rice - Well, the [...]

Last weekend I made a pork roast and the leftovers have been sitting in the fridge, waiting for me do to something with them.  There are also 2 leftover French rolls.  Waste not want not!

DINNER - BBQ Pork Sandwiches - Leftover pork roast blended with some “Sweet Baby Ray’s” BBQ sauce and served on a [...]

We had snacks late in the afternoon so we weren’t going to be too hungry come dinner time.  I knew we’d be hungry later, so I felt I still needed to prepare something, something without going to too much trouble using whatever I could find in the house.

DINNER - Ranch Steak - I’m not sure [...]
