Last-Minute Dinner

This week we ate a lot of chicken and rice. By Thursday night, none of us could look a grain of rice in the eye (plus we didn't have any left) so I surveyed the fridge and the larder and came up with:

Sausage Frittata

Ingredients:

3 frozen mild Italian sausages (left over from last week), thawed out and cut into pieces
1 large Russet potato, cut into small dice
one large onion, diced
7 eggs, beaten
garlic salt
pepper


Saute sausage, onion together in little bit of olive oil in an oven proof skillet. Add potatoes. Cook stirring until potatoes are done. Season with a little bit of garlic salt and pepper. Add eggs, stirring gently into the meat/potato/onion mixture.

Preheat broiler to high.

When eggs are almost done, and just a little bit runny on top, place skillet under broiler. Cook until top is lightly browned.

Slide out onto serving plate. Slice and serve with a nice green salad.

YUM!

Fend For Yourself

Ever had a dinner that was totally miscellaneous? Well, that's what happened here tonight. I didn't feel like cooking - I can always make that chicken stir fry that was going to happen tonight tomorrow night. We looked in the fridge and decided that we could make do with what was waiting in there.

The result:

M: string cheese, mixed nuts, glass of red wine, leftover pork tenderloin and boiled potatoes
D: left over mac and cheese, pretzels, pear
P: yogurt and Cheerios, milk
me: left over beef lo mein, 8 left over tortellinis, three small slices of three day old bread (toasted, one with butter, one with honey and one with Nutella), milk

Not your Martha Stewart dinner but it was a family dinner that we all enjoyed. That's pretty much all that counts.
