Tasty Tuesday
.......new leftover thread
I can't wait to enjoy the vegetable beef soup I made yesterday 
in my crockpot. It is a gloomy, cooler day-------soup sounds 
just right along with some kind of homemade bread and a nice 
dinner salad.


I am including some of my "freebie" meals from the freezer this week. 
I am determined to finish de-cluttering the house and re-purposing 
what we had to take out of the kitchen in order to fit the new oven. 
Already-cooked meals will be very helpful.

On Wednesday I will take out some of the beef in the soup, shred it 
and serve it in a couple tacos along with 1/2 of one of my small 
frozen pans of enchiladas.
 
I will fry up the rest of the tortillas in the shape of tacos 
and fill them with beans and cheese to freeze for a "freebie" meal
later on. It's a recipe I found on Pinterest through a friend. 
Although it calls for pre-made taco shells it will easily adapt 
to using homemade tacos. It's on my "Food" board.

Thursday will find us eating the frozen Shepherd's Pie leftover 
from a thread a few weeks ago with veggies taken from the soup 
gently mixed in----because as I recall there were not many veggies 
added to that pie.

Friday, chicken will be served---found a great sale on drumsticks 
which my husband loves. I divided them up into five nights of dinners 
for him. I have chicken breasts which I love that are frozen too. 
So, we will have some sort of chicken meal probably with roasted red 
potatoes which we need to use up (we have a couple hundred pounds
from last year's garden. I will use the leftover soup for broth
for a sauce to put over the chicken.

Leftover spaghetti sauce from two weeks ago will be thawed 
and used to make several small lasagnas on Saturday, some of which 
I will freeze. We order from Bountiful Baskets Co-op and are getting, 
among other things, an Italian veggie lovers'pack. 
I will use some of those items for the lasagnas and a big 
Italian salad (think Olive Garden!) served with my Parmesan 
Balsamic Vinegar dressing.

Later today: a recipe for Lasagna!
