    Yesterday I made Old Fashioned Beef and Noodle Soup in the slow cooker. It was sooo good! Leftovers tonight with rosemary sourdough bread toast.

    Made a quick bean soup using canned beans and leftover ham steak. I started it when I got home from work at 1:15 in the crockpot and made the mistake of not turning it to high. So I put in a pan on the stove to finish it off. It was ok but not as good as starting from dried beans. Cheddar bay biscuits on the side. Those did turn out good

    I can tell you are a great cook.

    I wonder if this could be made with turkey ham?

    We had bean soup, too. I bought the 13 bean package at the store, soaked them all last night then this morning used half of the beans and froze the other half. Added water, can of chicken broth, tiny bit of onion, clove of garlic , carrot and crock pot on high for a few hours, then on low and added a can of tomatoes. It is very tasty and my husband never considers soup a meal, but did tonight!!! The key for us is no meat and just a small bit of onion, too much makes it not so good for us. I'm pleased!

    and a busy one. My menu reads more like this: ok one day I cook, something tasty, I can post something, the next day I eat the leftovers of that, the next day the leftovers again, the next day well ... it's happened . Think I'll fast tonight though really.

    Beans of various stripes seem to be popular with us'all - must be the winter weather, eh?!!! Enjoying all the responses.

    Today was the leftover ham-n-pintos, along with fried potatoes and orange juice. We're going shopping tomorrow, so lunch out, and will smash the rest of the pintos for a layered dip for the guys (and their beer-drinking) tomorrow night.

    Saturday thinking sour cream chicken enchiladas, using the rest of the baked chicken from yesterday, and Mexican rice. And lately I'm just consumed with the idea of trying to make chilaquilles - so that's what I want to fix for Sunday brunch, but DH may balk at so much Mexican food all at once - we'll see.

    Last night's dinner was boneless pork ribs braised in soy sauce/scallion/ginger/star anise/shallots, with rice and mixed frozen vegetables. Oh, my, it was restaurant quality (that does not happen often) (well, except for the vegetables). This recipe is a keeper. Enough leftovers for the weekend, too.

    Last night we had a stir-fry with meat strips marinated in soy sauce/ginger/garlic/sherry and lots of veggies......broccoli/carrots/celery/onions/water chestnuts/mushrooms, over rice.
    Tonight we'll have the usual Friday night meal......a frozen thin Freschetta 5 cheese pizza and I add onion, red pepper and spinach.
