Well, this weekend just past wound up going rather differently than planned. . . so we didn’t make the Aloo Gobi or the fish chowder. We will work both of those in this week instead.
Monday: Kids Choice
The kids are home from school for Presidents day today-so later this afternoon we will choose together what we are going to make for dinner and they can help me cook. I am even willing to run out to the store for ingredients we don’t have on this one-even if it is more expensive it will be worth it for the family time and the educational experience.
Tuesday: Out for Dinner/Chicken Nuggets
Yankee Bill and I are going out for a local charity steak dinner. The kiddos will be home with a babysitter and have chicken nuggets (Aldi’s brand), rice (leftover) and canned veggies of their choice.
Wednesday: Aloo Gobi, Rice & Naan
Since I didn’t get a chance to try this delicious sounding Aloo Gobi recipe from Recipezaar last week, I’ll try it this week instead. This is my vegetarian meal for the week
Thursday: Corn Fish Chowder & Biscuits
This will be my fish meal for the week.
Friday: Pizza
With the ever present Pizza Hut Crust Clone recipe of course.
Saturday: Turkey dinner w/all the trimmings & Carrot Cake
My mom is coming for her birthday this weekend-so I’ll fix her favorite meal. Thanksgiving style turkey dinner 🙂
Sunday: Leftover Buffet
There should be plenty of leftovers from the week-so we’ll do a buffet style dinner to use them up.

That sounds really good. I pulled some of the turkey I froze around Turkey Day last week to provide some protein for the great produce bin clear out. I have an actual plan this week. *whew*
Hey Jenn
If you are looking for a new use with the leftover turkey you could try “Kentucky Hotbrowns” if you never had it before, I tried this recently (MIL made it for me :)) You toast bread slices, butter the bread place it on a baking sheet, set the oven for 375,layer each toast slice beginning with turkey meat over the toast(you can even use deli turkey meat) a slice of tomato, two cooked bacon strips, pour on white sauce or bechamel over the top and then sprinkle with cheese over each hotbrown, bake until golden brown and bubbly about 30 mins. You can use any kind of bread, we love sourdough with it, you could even use stale bread since it getrs soaked with the sauce make as many or as little as you need. I loved it and found it to be things I keep on hand and frugal, you could even omit bacon it you don’t eat pork.I am going to try it with ham next time!!
Have a great week!
