Good Memorial Day morning to
you, friends! If you’re here today looking for a lot of inspiring recipes, I
fear you’ll be disappointed. This week has been about fun dates, leftovers, and
oddities, more than anything else. But maybe you’ll find something to try, even
if not everything has a full recipe!
Monday: Leftover Amish Breakfast Casserole and Air Fried Chicken Tenders
What We
Did: We needed to
use up leftovers before they started going bad, and we hadn’t been to the
grocery store in a little while, so I tried to work with what we had. I air
fried the last of the chicken tenders we had in the freezer and paired them
with breakfast casserole. A strange combo, but it worked! We were fed.
Tuesday: Slow Cooked Brisket, Tater Tots, and
Salad with Candy Shop Pizza
What We
Loved: The last time
we shopped at Aldi, they had some pre-seasoned brisket on a pretty major sale. We bought one and froze it for someday.
Someday came this week! I decided to put it in the slow cooker with a little
water and let it cook all day. It was so good. It was seasoned with
black pepper and was tender and tasty. I had salad and just a tiny bit of tater
tots with mine, and Ryan had a more generous serving of tater tots. Ryan also
took Candy Shop Pizza to work for a carry-in. I used plain M&Ms on it this
time, and it was so pretty!
Wednesday:
Leftover Slow
Cooked Brisket, Tater Tots, and Salad
What We
Loved: We both ended
up working long days, so coming home to leftovers was the best kind of gift.
Thursday: Cobbled Together Breakfast Made from
Leftovers
What We
Did: You know it’s
almost grocery day when you are scraping out the last of the refrigerator
leftovers to eat dinner! Eggs, biscuits, gravy…it was a good, odd dinner.
Friday: Boiled Egg
What Were
We Thinking? We were
on our way to visit some friends and did not have time to eat dinner so…we each
had a boiled egg from the snack bag. Possibly the saddest dinner I have ever
shared with you in this history of this roundup. 0/10 recommend as a dinner in
its entirety! There is (understandably) no photo of this meal.
Saturday:
Date Night:
Seafood!
What We Had: Ryan and I enjoyed a Saturday date
night, and we tried something different: seafood! He chose a cheesy shrimp and
grits dish, and I tried blackened redfish. (I didn’t eat the bun and gave Ryan
half the fries.) I’d never had redfish before, but it was not too fishy, so I
liked it!
Sunday: Chicken and Pasta Salad
What We
Had: In a nod to the
picnic-style of Memorial Day weekend, we purchased some chicken and pasta salad.
These are rarities for us, and they were quite delicious!
