You can hide lots of veggies in spaghetti sauce. A little pureed this or that in a stock or sauce, they'll never know it. ;-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-47040553255080278162013-01-08T11:55:06.153-05:002013-01-08T11:55:06.153-05:00I remember who bad it was in MY home when my kids ...I remember who bad it was in MY home when my kids were little. They still don't like leftovers but I got smart about hiding stuff in their "new" food.

The chicken and dumplings I am finishing off for lunch was started with stock from the bones when I made chicken enchiladas before Xmas.<br />Try adding a bit of vinegar the next time to help extract more gelatin and calcium from your bones.slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-13330128028045040672013-01-08T11:47:14.706-05:002013-01-08T11:47:14.706-05:00My local store here has PP PButter for $1.68 a jar...My local store here has PP PButter for $1.68 a jar this week.....I immediately thought of you. 8-)<br /><br />A warm spell, huh?

So far, we're having lentil soup (freezer) for me + cheese biscuits, chili & cheese biscuits, spaghetti & meatballs, butternut squash soup (freezer)+ biscuits. All with green salads or fresh veggies on the side.<br /><br />Can you tell I'm in the mood for soup? :-) I really need to restock the freezer. My plan is to eat everything that's left over the next week or so, clean it & start fresh. Let's see if I can con everyone to eat the bits & pieces we have left next week!

So everyone knows to take there lunches from the front and I am using up stews and soups tonight and tomorrow.<br /><br />It is supposed to get warm this weekend so hubby said he wanted to cook some of the talapia and some veggies on the grill saturday/sunday.
