Delicious Leftovers
I’m still not food shopping until I get both freezers cleaned out, it’s been over a year since I’ve stocked up. Today I final organized the inside bottom freezer and I have one bin that is almost empty! YAY I can probably have the other one empty by next week. Part of the reason why it’s taken so long is because of my wonderful neighbors who keep bringing me dinner and there is usually enough leftovers for one or two more meals! Yesterday I had delicious leftovers from Sunday’s dinner.
My neighbor brought over two large pieces of grilled steak, baked beans and broccoli and since Judy was over I had enough for her also. But I still had some steak leftover.
So yesterday I made one of my delicious leftover meals plus I was able to get two more bags emptied from the freezer.
I cut the steak in small strips and marinated it in Worcestershire sauce while I sauteed some onions in butter. Next I added the steak and some cut up steamed cauliflower to the pan and stirred it all together to heat them up. I also had the end of a bag of shrimp so I thought that would be good to add to the pan plus make a little more room in the freezer.
My leftover meal was delicious and filling!
Chocolate Spoons
Have you seen chocolate spoons? When my daughter went to New York last month, she visited a candy shop our friends owned years ago. They make most all their own chocolate candies and even had chocolate spoons! Chris brought me eight packages with six delicious dark chocolate spoons in each package!
When I was on my yogurt and applesauce diet from my fall, I used a chocolate spoon for my yogurt and yesterday I had a cup of hot cocoa and stirred it with my chocolate spoon. It went in whole and came out melted! As the spoon melts, the chocolate melts into the cocoa for an extra delicious bit of chocolate in my cocoa.
So there you have it, a quick and easy leftover meal and a delicious cup of cocoa with a chocolate spoon!
Do you like leftovers, if so what are some of your favorite ones?
Your steak, beans and broccoli plate looks delicious!
Chocolate spoons are of course a thing in Switzerland, the land of chocolate – we may have invented it even?
Among my favorite leftovers is Mexican food like tortillas, enchiladas and the like. I also like to have pre-cooked veggies on hand.
I should have known the chocolate spoons were a thing in Switzerland Tamara. These were made in Turkey.
My daughter had her pre-wedding event at a chocolate shop in New York – It was delightful. Your chocolate spoons brought back some great memories. Thank you
WOW that most have been a tasty event Linda! Glad my blog brought back memories.
You are making me hungry looking at your photos, Martha! I’ve never tried baked beans before. I’ve never heard of chocolate spoons, but what a novel idea!
My daughter finds the most interesting gifts Lily! These spoon are so fun to eat and watch them melt into the hot cocoa.
It’s rare we have leftovers. But last week I cooked steak for the first time. Matt said it was tasty.
Oh steak sounds good, I’m not a big steak eater but every now and then I get a craving for it Amanda.
Dark chocolate is SO good for you! I need more hot cocoa in my life. Those leftovers sounded good, too. I just had leftovers tonight – my friend made cheesy spanish rice with bell peppers. Yum! I’m glad your neighbors are looking out for you.
Oh cheesy spanish rice sounds delicious Jeanine but then again anything with cheese is great for me!
I love leftover meals. We do tend up with too many these days since we have a couple of men in the house.
I like taking leftovers, adding something different to the mix and giving the meal a whole now look and taste Barbara. Thanks for stopping by.
I love Leftovers and usually end up with leftover from meals we’ve cooked and ones David’s mom cooked. I love when I make a Roast and have Left-Overs or David’s mom’s Chili, or her Meatloaf for Sandwiches or her Hobo Breakfast. Charlie loves her Tiny Noodles just like David does. Enjoy your day. Good look on cleaning out the Freezer we just did ours and its time to restock it and our pantry.
One section of small freezer is looking good Glenda! I love how I can make so many different variations by adding a little something to leftovers.
