An orange in an apple orchard
Really can’t remember the last time I made breakfast, and it was more significant than a granola bar or a frozen waffle. The dogs on the other hand are just glad that the sausage was on sale, so they got a really good breakfast out of this deal.
If you replaced the leftover rice/beans with mashed potatoes, and smothered the whole thing in brown gravy, this is probably a diner my mother would be proud of, lol
Flagging the sale on cube steaks before shopping day also turned out to be a good plan.
Sad truths: when things needed on your shopping list are both on sale and have a coupon, very happy feelings should follow.
When leftovers and time to use stuff up collide, sometimes you make delicious.
The tilapia had been in my freezer a bit, and I already had a plan involving an onion and some peppers in need of using up. The leftover baked broccoli and the rice/black beans proved to be convenient, and heat up almost as fast as fish bakes.
Willow of course is disappointed the broccoli was facing her instead of the fish, lol. She’s more likely to attempt stealing fish then probably anything else, and usually behaves very well about looking without attempting theft.
As time has gone on, my definition of success is being able to be fat, dumb, and happy for a while.
Qapla‘
Willow is disappointed that I positioned the tuna where she can’t get a sniff, and Corky tries to console her.
I’ve been trying to eat less pasta and rice, and more vegetables of late. Tonight however was the I need a nap not a cooking spree solution.
Willow was so thrilled at the fried chicken that she licked the camera, trying to get to it.
Simple solutions for simple problems: couldn’t figure out what to make for dinner. Made pasta and ate whatever I didn’t have space for storing.
Plus that kinda takes care of lunches for the week 😀.
Don’t think I’ve ever had yellowfin tuna before, but the combination of sales and coupon clipping made me decide to experiment. It was definitely a success.
Along with the fish, a Knorr side of Mexican rice and sauteed peppers, onions, chickpeas, and mushrooms probably aren’t a normal combination: so much as what I was in the mood for, lol.
Operation taco was a bit simple: given the lack of fresh lettuce or leftover sour cream.
