M3GAN was a wonderful surprise.

Leftover cheeseburger sliders. I had to hide a few in the veggie drawer last night so my teen wouldn't find them.

Making leftover chicken & sweet potatoes for lunch. Cheese tortellini with shrimp and fresh green beans for dinner. Sauce yet to be determined.

Well, I have a microwave meal. I hate leaving for work so early, some days the best I can do is a frozen meal. Also, I know it is popular, but I really don’t like chicken or tuna salad. We have been eating leftovers for dinner the last couple of nights, so I might have to cook tonight.

We usually give that straight for a day or two, and then slowly add in kibble to switch back. One of my adult kids uses a meal topper for her dog, and I use it sometimes as well. Just to mix up the flavors (and spoil the pup).

Good luck!!!

I’ve had greys since I was 11. I embrace them and they are in style now. I am now more grey than not in my mid 40s.

Leftover spiced beef, rice, broccoli, with some spicy mango sauce.

I messed up the sauce slightly. It was supposed to have cream added at the end, but I forgot. It still came out deliciously as more of a syrupy consistency though.

Dog has upset stomach so been making her chicken/rice/sweet potato soup. She is now forever even more spoiled I believe. Gonna be tough getting her back on dog food. It's going to be a battle of wills I'm afraid

Gladly, here is the Instagram link for it, and I'll paste down below the instructions and ingredients. My wife did a few things differently, like seasoning the meat for starters, and added a few more spices. Can't remember exactly what though.

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground spicy Italian sausage

1/2 Lg white onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves

2 14oz cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes

1 jar of tomato sauce (I used Raos 24oz)

4 cups veggie broth

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp Calabrian chilis (I used the Trader Joes one)

1/4c heavy cream

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried parsley

3c pasta (I used Mafaldine) Add salt and pepper to your liking

3/4c ricotta

1/2c shredded mozzarella

1/4c grated parm

Basil for garnish

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add your meat and saute until fully cooked through, remove from pan. Add your 1 chopped white onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, add in your garlic and saute for another 2 mins. Add diced tomatoes, jarred tomato sauce, veggie broth, tomato paste, Calabrian chilis, cream, oregano, and parsley, stir well to combine. Add your meat back in. Bring soup to a light boil and add in your pasta, cover and cook through until pasta is al dente (about 15 mins). While your pasta is cooking in the soup, mix the ricotta, mozz and Parm into a bowl and set aside. Test your pasta for doneness (should be Al dente). Serve in a bowl with a scoop of your cheese mixture and garnish with basil. ENJOY!

ooh! been meaning to make one of those -- would you mind sharing the recipe?

Made tuna salad yesterday so tuna melt for lunch.

I have a habit of doing the same and then leaving the house for two hours on a "lunch" mission that turns into errands.

I've found a great source when I have to buy fresh herbs is new grand mart. They have bundles of dill by the handfuls, among others. I gotta ask, no onion in the chicken salad? Just the celery? I've got to have multiple crunches in mine. Tho I often theme my chicken salad also. Curry, lemon pepper, garden herb, sweet and nutty. If I try to make it too plain, I just end up wishing it was ukrops.

I've been crushing those Stouffer's Bowlfuls way too much lately. I wish I lived closer to Union Market so I can crush good sandos and watch people poorly navigate roundabouts.

I’m rooting for you dude!

I’ve got left overs from Patio Thai, the crispy duck is always tasty the next day.

The new job… is making me feel like an adult. It’s very strange, but good.

I went off to a job interview only for it to be cancelled when I was halfway there. The place is really back and forth on it, hoping that they don’t keep trying to get me in there, it’s getting old. (For reference, Friday was a can you start Monday, later Friday, change of plans start on either Tuesday or Wednesday, Monday, oh they want to interview you instead, and then today.)

Lunch is a Soylent "complete energy nootropics shake" . While I have no idea if the nootropics will do anything, I know the caffeine will. And I'm going to need it. I get to spend an hour in a meeting explaining to people how 429 errors work. Not sure why an hour long meeting is required, I've already explained it half a dozen in times via email. And it's really bloody simple. Sigh. But the money is good!

Here it is. It works with tuna or chicken.

I too am on #teamleftovers. Finishing up the last of the white chicken chili with some Salsa Verde Tostitos. Will definitely use this thread for dinner inspiration later.

SD-15 on the new map should be pretty favorable to her. I was actually redistricted OUT of Amanda Chase territory and into Hashmi territory. Talk about an upgrade

Ah, yeah, that sounds right. SD-10 is her current district, but it's been shifted with the new map.

Meat and cheese roll ups, probably. Or a steak and salad.

Want to shout out HCA Retreat hospital. Went in last night because I couldn’t breathe, coughing and wheezing and shortness of breath. They were super quick, I was in and out in 4 hours. I thought I might be slightly overreacting but they were pretty up front that my breathing was concerning. I was super impressed with the staff and care.

Isn't hashmi running in SD-15 post redistricting?
