So…..we ate a lot of leftovers last week. That means I have 3 meals leftover to use this week! It also means I got to use the extra money in my budget to stock up on toiletries and fun kitchen items like the crockpot liners that were on clearance at Target and Glad press ‘n seal wrap. Have you ever used that stuff? It’s incredible! We also were able to have some fun with desserts and snacks! Also, as far as my gourmet style, I’m back! I’m gonna number the meals since I’ve got 3 leftover meals and 4 new meals. Alright–here you go!
Leftover meals:
1. Sage rubbed pork chops braised in beef froth with marscapone cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, chocolate cream pie (this part is new!)
2. Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes
3. Teriyaki Chicken bowls–teriyaki chicken, tea steamed broccoli, steamed rice
New Meals:
1. Herb & Romano cheese risotto with shredded chicken, sauteed autumn vegetables
2. Maple Glazed Turkey cutlets (one of my favorite meals and super easy too), leftover risotto, apple slices
3. Blue Cheese burgers (For those who don’t know, we are so blessed to receive free, fresh, organic beef from my in-laws’ ranch! It’s incredible!), carrot sticks
4. Harvest chicken salad–Organic mixed greens from the farmer’s market, sliced apples or pears (not sure which yet), diced chicken, candied walnuts, balsamic vinaigrette

Sage “rubber” pork chops? Though the details sound appetizing the name leaves much to be desired… I hope the rubber is in reference to the leftoverness of said pork chops or eric is in for a chewy meal
From Jenny:
Goodness me! I must have mistyped because they are sage *rubbed* pork chops. I have since fixed it, and since I have just finished mine, I must say they are incredibly tasty! I did, however, forget to buy whipping cream, so the chocolate cream pie will have to wait until tomorrow. Sad.
On a happier note, I was able to buy some slightly underbaked baguettes that I will finish baking and set out with yummy irish butter!
From Rona:
Even your leftovers sound impressive and delicious.
What a plus to have generous in-laws.
