Someone accidentally bought smooth into this house (shopping accident).

The UPROAR, the CRISES, the BLAME! Luckily, extra crunchy has now been bought. It happily sits next to the almond butter, where they sneer at the poor unloved smooth that has pushed to the back of the shelf 😆.

We have to buy two jars of peanut butter. I like chunky. My husband likes smooth.

Lately though, I have been eating almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Bridger - chunk is the only way to go for me.

Golden, That dinner sounds good, but I would have put some peanut butter on the celery - probably chunk peanut butter.

What did I have for dinner? An atrocious amount of peanut butter caramel ripple ice cream followed by raw celery to balance it out - sort of!!! 😘

I agree that cake sounds awesome - and works with my allergies. I looked up a recipe and it is similar to another one I make. Beat the eggs and sugar well first then fold in the other ingredients. Yum! Love almonds in baking.

We are having barbecued burgers with corn on the cob on the side. Kind of a summer meal in winter type of thing.

Glad, Had never heard of that cake. I looked it up. I’m going to try it next weeks - sounds good.

Cwillie, I had to laugh, just a cup and a half, you can make some fried rice from the leftover rice.

I make extra just so I can make fried rice in a day or 2. It is great as a main dish or a side. Adding fresh ginger takes it to new dimensions.

I picked up some ready-to-eat or heat-and-serve things from my favorite food store, Pete's Fresh Market. I ate the spicy salmon sushi and seaweed salad tonight, and saved the BBQ ribs, mac and cheese, pasta salad, and spinach dip for another time. It's nice to go there and get yummy things and not buy takeout or delivery. It feels just as indulgent but a lot less money per serving.

I had a dried fruit and veg pilaf with a pork chop and broccoli done in the toaster oven. I only had a cup and a half of rice left so I though "eh, may as well cook it all".... oh my. Good thing I like leftovers 😉

Glad,

Sounds like a great read! I love almond flavor. Let us know how it turns out if you make it.

I gave up sweets for lent. I haven’t been on the dinner thread much because there are so many great cooks on this site!

I am behaving myself so far 😊.

Reading a book"When we Believed in Mermaids". Very good so far. But now I want to make Tarta de Santiago. Might actually cook up right her since there is no flour in this almond cake.

Maybe similar in taste to kransekake.😋

Our DD sometimes comes home from work with no idea what she'll make for dinner until she looks in her frig, sees what she has and whips up something great!🍗🥓🧀
And she has 5 IPs.

That is actually a good idea Cwilly! And yes, I know you are the queen of leftovers! You do some amazing things with leftovers! 😊

I never have enough room in the freezer for leftovers overs, but I do like the idea of the 'pot luck' dinner!


I always tell my SO that he is a picking eater and I am a food snob! It is because I grew up having a Chef for a dad! He really didn't eat leftovers either now that I think about it!

If you have followed my posts at all you know that I am the queen of leftovers, waste not want not
- if you don't want the same thing twice in a row then freeze in serving size portions
- turn them into something else entirely: use them up in soups, stews, casseroles and stir fries
- when you have a lot of different leftovers but none of them are enough for a meal heat them all and have a"pot luck" dinner (depending on what you have a salad or some garlic bread can round out the meal)

Isthisrealyreal,
I really never thought about having leftovers so I wouldn't have to cook everyday...hummm 🤔

It really isn't about the reheating that makes me not like leftovers. It's just once I had something I don't want to eat it again! I guess, I am one of those people that like different meals throughout the week...and not the same thing twice in one week! Of course, when I go back to work I might have to rethink this idea or should I say, rethink about my view on leftovers! LOL

Shell, I had an aversion to leftover food and when I got married he just loved leftovers. This created a huge problem. I didn't know how to cook small amounts, actually I couldn't cook but, every attempt was enough to feed an army and my honey was not okay with perfectly fine food being thrown out. Soooooo.......

I had to figure out how to eat leftovers. I found that the key to enjoying leftovers is how you reheat these. Microwaves are for heating water at our house. Depending on what I am heating, I use steam, toaster oven or a frying pan. Believe me when I say it makes all the difference in how those leftovers taste.

Now I know how to cook and I intentionally make enough to feed an army, that way I am not cooking big meals everyday to feed my hungry man. 😁

Popeyes Chicken for dinner.


I have never been one to eat leftovers; however, when my dad was alive and cooked I was aways happy to eat his leftovers...maybe for me it is a mental thing and maybe I just thought my dad's leftovers were better than mind!

Mysteryshopper - I can relate to your forgotten lentil meatloaf recipe, years ago I came up with what I thought was the perfect veggie burger but I didn't write it down, no matter how many times I've tried I've never been able to duplicate it.

Years ago, I used to make a veggie meatloaf out of lentils. I can't remember what else was in it. It was a lot of work, but was delicious. Sometimes, it wanted to fall apart on me, but I just made it a candlelight dinner so no one would know - LOL!! The flavor was just wonderful regardless of how it looked.

In my kitchen, leftovers make the world go round! I purposely make extras of certain things - just to have some left for another time. I have a family member who refuses to eat leftovers - she doesn't know what she's missing.

I really need to work on my portions! But my SO always eats the leftovers. Thank God because I don't!

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

I am baking the squash. Dh has a 'recipe'. I think I put the squash cut side up, and the recipes I saw said to place the cut side down and add water. He's got this I am hoping. The cooking smells coming from the kitchen is amazing.....all that seasoning salt, Lol.

We have both put seasoning salt on the squash halves, so I left it to him.
There are shredded carrots and zucchini in his recipe, no meat expected.
[I had some steak earlier for lunch.]
