Having last nights leftovers tonight. I have an inconvenient grocery pick up time of 8pm. Trying ShopRite this week as they use their own employees, not instacart. I stocked up on sweet Italian sausage and hamburger patties, in the hope we are finally going to get a nice stretch of warmish weather. We are under a freeze warning tonight.
I’ll be making turkey soup tomorrow and a batch of turkey salad.
@abasket , the guys really liked the chicken (commented on it twice) and I didn’t think it was great at all. So don’t know if you’re interested or not in the recipe.
Haha - well, @conmama who has the better food taste - you or your guys?! Haha.
I like chicken parm - and H loves it - just wondered if it was worth giving a whirl if it was simple in the crockpot!
Meant to update (and just noticed the wonky autocorrect in the earlier post) I did as some suggested and cut off 4 pieces of the tenderloin for future filets, and cooked the rest. I should have done what someone else suggested and cut it in half, as while what I made came out incredibly well (though I was a little heavy handed with some of the outside seasoning), we’ve been eating the tenderloin for a day and a half (2 dinners and did eat some at lunch too) and there is still a lot left. We might get kinda tired of it. Not sure if freezing cooked tenderloin is doable. Peeps?
Went food shopping for the first time in a week today. So crowded!
Got some tuna medallions on sale, H marinated them in olive oil, lemon, garlic, some cumin, and grilled them. Fresh green beans with butter and almonds. Really enjoyed it.
@jym626 I wouldn’t freeze the cooked tenderloin. We do steak and eggs with the leftovers or shred the meat, get a roll or baguette and make a steak and cheese sandwich.
Thanks. I totally forgot to pull out the horseradish! Will have some with it tomorrow. DH had a sandwich today. Steak and cheese is a good idea too.
Leftover tenderloin can be transformed into delicious Beef Stroganoff.
@jym626 you could freeze, but plan to use what you’ve frozen in things like tacos or shepherds pie rather than as originally served.
My very favorite way to use up leftover cuts of beef is diced up and incorporated into a potato breakfast hash ?
Thanks for the suggestions. DH can use the breakfast ideas. I am sticking to my intermittent fasting diet and don’t eat until noon. Guess I could eat breakfast then.
Grilled pork chops, grilled asparagus and a rice dish on tonight’s menu.
I made some delicious mountain high blueberry muffins this morning. Those Costco blueberries are always the best!
Easy dinner tonight, yes, prepared by me. Chili Lime Chicken burgers from Trader Joes (I haven’t had them before but D2 says they are good) and some corn on the cob.
Grilling beef kabobs tonight. Took some effort to locate tritip for them yesterday. Usually, our Costco has two different grades of it. Shocker - the store was out of ALL beef and pork. Not. A. Single. Pack. Only chicken, lamb, and fish. Stopped by the local (expensive) market and found some. This market had everything… but 2x Costco prices.
Breakfast was chorizo and scrambled egg burritos (homemade tortillas) and mimosas.
Dinner will be Sous vide then grilled rib-eye steaks, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes, and a malbec I’ve been hanging on to. Dessert homemade cheesecake.
My husband made sourdough pancakes with his starter discard, bacon and eggs this morning. My kids sleep too late to wait for them on Mother’s Day. 
Tonight we are having some sort of chicken dish with coconut milk, lemongrass and other Asian flavors. My daughter is making fried rice.
My husband is still working on perfecting his sourdough bread. He’s been playing around with recipes due to difficulty in the beginning getting the right kind of flour. His latest batch used AP flour and whole wheat flour. The texture was the best of all his efforts so far, but was missing the sour element. Still yummy tho!
Today I made two batches of buttermilk biscuits, sautéed some spinach with leeks, panfried some sweet italian sausage, made some quick blender hollandaise, and poached eggs. What i wanted for Mother’s Day was to make what I wanted for dinner…and i did, happily! Everything was delicious and we have leftover biscuits for tomorrow.
H made shrimp and sausage gumbo. It was billed as a gumbo for people who hate okra (me). It was really good. The write up for the recipe said it should be called a stew instead of gumbo. It had gumbo spices in it as well as andouille sausage and shrimp.
Meatless Monday.
H has a meat-full dinner but for myself (he won’t conform to MM) I’m making panko buffalo cauliflower with blue cheese and a caprese salad with extra raw veggies in it.
Dinner tonight is slow roasted salmon (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018972-slow-roasted-citrus-salmon-with-herb-salad), roasted brussels sprouts with honey/vinegar glaze, and roasted potatoes with garlic. I also made parmesan/panko chicken strips for my GS and my “I don’t like salmon” D!
