Snow blowing 14 inches of snow makes you work up quite the appetite! For lunch, my hubby broiled us some leftover ham and provolone cheese sandwiches. I also had a small bowl of leftover ham chowder. I think the chowder got better over night. Bursting with so much flavor!
We decided on cheeseburgers for dinner made with local beef. I looked around to see what I could make to go with them. I had one big sweet potato. Mmmmm homemade sweet potato fries. I just peeled, and then sliced the potato into fry size pieces. I tossed them in olive oil, salt, and pepper and baked them at 450 for about 15 minutes, flipped, then another 15 minutes. I wasn't sure if the kids would eat them (just means more for hubby, me, and our friend. wohoo!). My hubby dug around in the bottom of the freezer and found about a cup of regular fries for the kids. Perfect, we'll use those up too. What else? I had celery, tomato, and mini cucumbers from last week that needed to be used up. I also had a small amount of black olives leftover from our Christmas dinner. I chopped everything up along with some onion. I picked a box of pasta out of my never-ending stash. I had a bottle of balsamic vinaigrette dressing that needed to get used up soon. So far so good. Ah, how about some feta cheese? Dinner was delicious.
A good day of using up leftovers and items that needed to be used soon or would otherwise be thrown out.
