What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

We had leftover BBQ chicken, cheesy potatoes and green beans. I was thankful for the leftovers because hubby was having a painful day with his back. I carried the heavy load today moving furniture in the bedroom doing the deep cleaning before I put the Christmas quilt on the bed our SIL made for us this year. I didn't get it all done today but with Advil and a prayer, I hope to get it done tomorrow along with laundry. Right now, hubby can't even carry up a basket of laundry from the laundry room. One day at a time.

We finished off the last of T-Day leftovers yesterday with turkey noodle soup and my daughters experimental "stuffing muffins"....not bad.

Two hard boiled eggs with cracked black pepper and a half dozen ritz crackers with black forest hams slices on them.

Yum. My idea of perfect pairings. Add some potato salad and I'll join you.

We love potato salad and have come up with the weirdest combinations. Most results were rather pleasing, some were in the " I shouldn't have done that" category.

I love doing stuffin' muffins. I do different varieties for my sons and father-in-law so that everyone is happy.

lots of prime ground beef on sale following thanksgiving
so it was obviously time for chili
but a weird cook
always make it with hot sausage. this time added another pound of sweet italian sausage
tweaked it with cinnamon, blackstrap molasses, dark chocolate
between those sweeteners, some ketchup and the sweet sausage, that melange tasted too sweet. go figure
so a dash more of cayenne pepper, some salt, two types (grape & apple) of balsamic vinegar, and the juice of a lime brought the flavor back into balance
it made the chili a bit more interesting, too
topped with shredded sharp cheddar it was more than edible

will eliminate the sweet sausage next time, using exclusively hot italian sausage to mix with the ground chuck
and will reduce the cinnamon to a pinch
 
I was planning to make a small meatloaf, buttered parsley potatoes and peas tonight. When I went to make the meatloaf, I didn't have all the ingredients. So, I made Marzetti. Actually it was tasty. Good thing because there is a lot of it, we will be eating it for a couple more days. I have been doing some heavy lifting lately because Hubby is in a bad way with his back. It took me 3 days to deep clean our bedroom before putting on the beautiful Christmas quilt our sil made us. It's now on the bed and looks beautiful. When I walk into the room it makes me smile.

All that Marzetti will be a blessing the next two days freeing up more time not having to cook.

That sounds yummy. What brand do you prefer?

I made more yoghurt today and we ended up tasting it, adding this and that. By the time we came up with something that really tickled our fancy, blueberries with honey and some coconut milk, we were too full to want anything else.

Grilled bar-b-q boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled veggie medley ( bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms ), toasted garlic bread -side of cinnamon applesauce.
 
We went to our town's holiday festival last night. Grabbed some food from food trucks there - chicken tenders/french fries, fried Oreos, and funnel cake.

LOVE food trucks, love fried food...wish it wasn't so cold. Funnel cake that gets cold immediately and fried Oreos that get cold immediately aren't nearly as good.
 
We went all out and had fries, various toppings. I had to try out our new counter top oven/ air fryer. We don't use the large oven at all, and this small oven is very convenient.
 
Atlantic salmon fillet sprinkled with Old Bay and oven broiled with sliced yellow potatoes golden fried in olive oil Black Forest cake for dessert.
