The week of
Thanksgiving made for a short week for me as I had a four day weekend, working
Monday through Wednesday. Seemed like a
good reason to keep on going with this freezer cleanup project I had going
on. So that is exactly what we did. But it didn't include just dinner
preparations.
Sunday - I baked my
youngest daughter's birthday cake. I had
frozen some eggs last year so I pulled some of those out and allowed them to
thaw and used them in the cake. Worked
great! Although my recommendation is to
freeze beaten eggs rather than whole eggs.
The texture is better. Little FYI
for you. I also put together my oldest's Grasshopper Pie for her birthday on Monday.
Then I made the most delicious Chicken Gnocchi Soup. Oh my gosh was it good!
Monday - was my
oldest's birthday and she wanted Ravioli.
I had bought her favorite cheese filled ravioli and just made a quick
marinara sauce to go with it. It was
quite good.
Tuesday - we had
leftover bean soup with cornbread.
Wednesday - we
pulled out frozen turkey burger patties and a leftover bag of onion rings and
curly fries. We used the turkey patties
to make Mushroom Swiss burgers and served that up with the leftover rings and
fries.
Thursday - it was
Thanksgiving and we enjoyed the full on preparing and cooking of our meal. We roasted the turkey breast I had bought
last month at Albertson's, made mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, roasted
carrots and green beans, homemade dinner rolls and a relish dish of
pickles and olives. It was also my
youngest's birthday and I made her a Jello-O Poke Cake per her request. Lots of food and lots of fun preparing it all
together as a family.
Yeah, it was that good! |
Friday - You guessed
it! Leftovers! Yum!
Saturday - You
guessed it! More leftovers! Yum!
