Morgan is our usual Tortellini master, but we had her try a new recipe tonight where she and Sophie made cheesy sauce from scratch! The Pampered Chef recipe is for Easy Tortellini Toss, and it’s all cooked in the microwave using our Deep Covered Baker. I diced the Ham Steak, but they did everything else in their own including adding the Spinach.

Grilled Hotdogs with Mac ‘N Cheese
The girls took care of our leaves today, and I gave them options for dinner to show my appreciation. They chose Hotdogs with Mac ‘N Cheese.
Cheesy Garlic Bread
Sophie came home from her concert with Pizza and Cheesy Garlic bread, and I scarfed on some of that garlicy goodness. Just enough carbs to push me over the sleepy time hump.
Roasted Mushroom Reuben
After work, I stopped by Twenty Tap with some colleagues to help solve the world’s problems. I fully enjoyed my Roasted Mushroom Rueben Sandwich and Fries. The Portabellas was just what I was looking for.
Mini Cranberry Turkey Wreath
I used up more leftover turkey tonight making a Mini Cranberry Turkey Wreath for dinner, and it was just the right size. And we polished off the last of the Apple Pie.
Special Spaghetti for company
Our Thanksgiving guests arrived safely and just in time for Jennifer and Sophie’s High Hopes Spaghetti. It was great as usual, and I added some sprinkles of Italian Seasoning on some freezer rolls to give them a little extra something. Our guests were well satisfied. I can’t wait until we share a feast tomorrow!
White Chicken Chili
I made my very first attempt at at cooking White Chicken Chili, and it was amazing! I used my Quick Cooker and pulled chicken out of the freezer. Simple to make, and I think I even liked it better than the other Chili I made.
Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Mac ‘N Cheese
It was Morgan’s turn to craft our feast tonight. She, while being encouraged by her mother, made us Asparagus-Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Mac ‘N Cheese with Mixed Vegetables. And, at the encouragement of her father, she added an Enrichables packet of Pea Protein into the Cheese Sauce. We even washed it down with a Coke to celebrate National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day!
Sour Cream Noodle Bake
Our Sour Cream Noodle Bake was a team effort today. Jennifer played MOMager and kept us focused, on task and cleaning as we went. She also sliced the green onions. Sophie and Morgan darted to the store when we realized we ran out of cheese. Sophie also was in charge of the noodles and helping her MOMager mix the ingredients, while Morgan grated the cheese. I worked on the meat sauce and layering everything in the pan. No one even noticed I added a Kale & Fiber Enrichables packet to it. 🤫 the meal was a success, and we even had some for leftovers.
Grilled Ham & Cheese, Asparagus and Soup
For dinner tonight, I tried my hand at making us Inside-Out Grilled Ham & Cheese, Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. It didn’t turn out like I had pictured it, but it was still tasty.
