Tonight’s dinner was a change in my menu plan. When we went grocery shopping there was a manager’s special on ham so suddenly I redid my menus for the next two weeks to add several dishes with ham in them. Though the ham was a bit fatty it was still tasty. All I did was…
Ground Turkey Tacos
I have a stash of quick throw together dinners in my back pocket in case I need them. Tonight was one of those nights. Dinner tonight was to be General Tso’s Chicken (homemade of course). But, due to the events of the day we had Ground Turkey tacos instead. I browned my ground turkey in…
Chicken, Broccoli and Pineapple Stir-Fry

Chicken Noodle Soup
This was one of my second chance dishes. I roasted a chicken on Saturday, made chicken soup on Sunday for dinner Monday night. This also works with a store bought rotisserie chicken.

What I Have Learned so Far…
I began my game of seeing how many dinners I could make before I repeated a meal. I had gotten lazy in my shopping, planning and cooking. We were having pasta three nights a week for dinner, hot dogs once or twice a week and picking up fast food or eating out the rest of…
