It was YOYO night at our house.

I had a poor man's dinner (peanut butter and jelly), while DW ate McDonald's (cheeseburger, basket of fries).

I learned recently that if you sign up for those free 'memberships' with fast food places and such, don't go to the for a long time and then log on just to see what deals they are offering it can trigger a personalized offer to you. such was the case with the grossly overpriced Panera this week. I got a small gift card for Christmas and went online to see if it could pay in full for anything only to have the site turn around 2 hours later and send me a BOGO for $5 offer so that was enough to cover 2 full size chicken Cobb green goddess salads which dh and I will have with some defrosted homemade soup (we eat LATE a couple of nights a week). yesterday (and lunch today) was actually fast food as well-another small gift card (bonus offer I got for buying one as someone else's Christmas gift) combined with a couple of panda express 'buy a big/get a bigger plate' coupons and we walked out spending less than $1.

Spaghetti and meatballs tonight.

Last night I went to dinner with my MIL at a place called Eric's Office. I had never been there before and I don't really know why, just never got there. It was really good. I had this soup and it was called Creamy Chicken Apple Brie. OMG It was Amazing!! Then I had a Teriyaki Chicken sandwich and MIL had a Reuben.

Then later when my hubby got home I made him Hot dogs and then French Fries in the Air Fryer.

Tonight we had Honey BBQ chicken strips and mac and cheese.

I finally remembered to take the frozen turkey breast out of the freezer a few days ago to let it defrost in the refrigerator. I was not sure I would ever cook it since it was almost 7 1/2 pounds. It was a free one when you spend $400 at the supermarket (offered yearly for Thanksgiving/maybe Easter also).

Not sure if the kids would want it when they do come for dinner. So last night I had turkey breast (with frozen veggies on the side). I also cut some up mixed w/mayo to have a turkey sandwich for lunch today/seems like a different meal. I will be having the same slices/w veggies tonite. Not sure if I will have it a third day/night (have plenty). Hate to waste food so I might freeze some slices for another time.

Pizza soup, salad

 

[Dead2009]

Smash burgers and mozzarella sticks

 

[ddluvsdisney]

Pierogies and kielbasa sautéed in onions with broccoli bc I need some veggies.

DH wants tuna salad sandwiches. I'll probably throw together a vegetable platter to serve with them.

 

[WDW_fan_in_TX]

Tonight will either be breakfast (not a fan, but DW loves it) or frozen pizza. I also plan on making tuna salad for lunch tomorrow and Saturday because DW has an event at church this weekend.

Actually, cooked today and tried my hand at a new to me technique. Sautéed seasoned thin boneless pork loin chops until browned on both sides and then marinated them in a herb and lemon vinaigrette for 15 minutes. Never tried marinating meat after cooking before but it was easy and something to remember. Served the chops atop a bed of kale and roasted carrots.

Thursday night! The weekend is in sight!

Goat cheese and honey pizza (frozen from Costco) with salad. Pizza was surprisingly good.

I LOVE that pizza.

I'm roasting some asian veggies, steaming some potstickers and cooking up some jasmine rice. Making myself a yummy potsticker bowl!

 

[WDW_fan_in_TX]

Lol. I did neither of the things I mentioned earlier. I wound up making some tuna salad and eating it with crackers. I made enough to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow and tomorrow night (DW is working at the church for an even called Disciple Now with the youth group). And DW made some cornbread tonight. That's all she wanted.

Some ideas to "change" the turkey... SLice thinly, dice, or chop, then saute in some olive oil with cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder, then use as a taco/burrito/whatever filling.

Slice/dice/chop the turkey, saute in olive oil with garlic powder, basil, and oregano, then mix with spaghetti sauce, serve on pasta.

A favorite around here is Thanksgiving Leftover Supper. Slice the turkey, make a pot of stovetop, some mashed potatoes (I use instant- Idahoan), open some cranberry sauce. Make a packet of turkey gravy (or a can or jar) if you are gravy people. We either do it as a quick dinner or make sandwiches (turkey/stuffing/cranberry). Honestly... you got 2 dinners and a lunch out of it already, and it was free, so you are ahead of the game even if you don't have it again. If you have bones from the turkey, make soup and freeze it. You can get some more mileage out of that bird!

LittleGuy is here for overnight, so we had "Supper Pie," as he calls it- your basic hamburg/creamed corn/mashed potatoes shepards pie. He loves it.
