Had some leftover collard greens and searched for some ideas to use with them for leftovers. So I decided to make Spicy Collard Green Gumbo with shrimp and sausage. Then made rice. So good.

Made enough Colcannon Soup for 100 last Friday night’s Lenten Supper at church. Also served Caesar salad, pasta and rolls. It was a hit and not a drop left. 🥰

I don’t usually make breakfast but I did today because I have a catering job that I am working on for tomorrow. I make a Breakfast Nacho pile.

Sliced jalapeno cheddar sausage
1 bell pepper, diced
1/2 onion, diced
5 Scrambled eggs
1 cup Grated cheese
Flour to make gravy
Milk
Salt & pepper
Jalapeño seasoning
Dorito Chips

Turned out yummy.

Decided to make “Greek” chicken skewers, lemon rice and spicy sun dried tomato beans. I had 2 cans of white beans left in the pantry and some sun dried tomatoes in the fridge so I thought why not? Then added a bunch of crushed red pepper. Yummy! Used chicken thighs, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper for the cut up thighs. Roasted under broiler. It all turned out pretty good. 🥰

Still cleaning out fridge and freezer with all this ice and staying indoors. Dinner tonight I made a Pork Loin rubbed with a Garlic Honey Mustard, Scalloped potatoes and Squash, onions and Apples baked in a vinaigrette, brown sugar, rosemary, sage and salt & pepper. Then made a sauce with the garlic honey mustard w/some of the vinaigrette, a little olive oil, brown sugar. Was delicious! 🥰

Tonight I warmed up the last of the Parmesan chicken leftovers and made Cacia e Pepe.

Dinner the last few nights.

Cajun blackened roasted chicken with Augratin potatoes and Italian green beans.

Next night shredded the left over chicken from night before. Made a creole chicken and pea stew from leftovers. Ladled over mashed potatoes. Pretty yummy.

Tonight I made what I call “late night diner t-bone” hubby brought home. Wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and roasted a few Brussels sprouts I had to do a fridge clean out. 😊

I guess I need to go shopping for us to restock pantry, fridge and freezer. Lol.

Tonight I made a pot of Hot and Sour Soup for dinner. A favorite soup of mine but so hard to find a perfect bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. It turned out delicious but I can guarantee you I could never replicate it. 😂

Dinner tonight I pulled out leftover veggies, lots of garlic, butter and olive oil, Italian seasoning, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes and sauteed them. Cooked some orzo, drained and tossed with the veggies. Had a few shrimp in the freezer, thawed and roasted them. Topped with feta, then shrimp and fresh basil. Light and delicious. 😋

Last night I made breakfast for dinner, ham steak, bacon, eggs and jalapeno cheese grits. 😋

08/07/2025

Tonight I took the rest of the Italian beef and added mushrooms and pearled barley to make a yummy soup. Had a few pieces of sourdough bread and made grilled cheese to go with it. Yes it’s hot here in Texas but I could eat soup every day. 😋😂
