So many left overs

Tonight Ted and I worked with what we could find in the fridge. It’s “Left Over Thursday”.  Sometimes things taste better if they’ve had a chance to sit for a day or so.  A good example of that would be the Beany Bolonaise in January 6th Blog “Spinach Really Did Help Popeye”.  I had 1/4 cup for lunch today and the flavors really came together. Better than the other night.  But I’ll back track a little.

Snacking Mid Morning

I got a bit hungry around 10:15 am and had Non Fat Cottage Cheese with Pineapple, about 1/3 cup.  This morning, I had taken an apple from the fridge but decided I wasn’t quite ready for it at breakfast so I chopped it up in the cottage cheese.  That’s a snack I’ll remember. No fat, good source of calcium and fruits.  It was sweet, crunchy and filling.

 Lunch Time Again

I had broccoli slaw with the usual add ins: cherry toms, radish, bell peppers, cucumber.  Topped with Maple Grove Maple Fig dressing.  We ran out of the brown rice so I had 1/4 cup of the Beany Bolonaise from earlier in the week. That was heated with a healthy slab of the Seafood Frittata from last night.   If you should try that Frittata, I would definitely add  a little drizzle of a honey mustard sauce on top. It would complement the Hot and Sweet Honey Mustard I used in the mixture of eggs.

Scrounging around for scraps

What to eat, what to eat. How about a spinach salad? That’s good since I’m not in a cooking mood. What about more Beany Bolonaise? Then of course there’s the Frittata?  Ok. Which has to be eaten first?  I don’t like keeping seafood left overs too long. But then that bean dish had eggs cooked in it. Dilemma. A bit of both?  That was the end result. No pictures because dinner looked very much like lunch except the spinach salad (that was different!) was plated separately and my bean and frittata portions were a tad larger.

The weather is being down right inconsiderate – again.  The wind is howling. Another night hunkered down?  Suppose so. Read?  Write? Make phone calls?  We’ll see what strikes my fancy.  There is a college game on at 8:15pm, but I’m not a big college football fan. What is it? The Orange Bowl? 

I think I’m ready for Spring.
