Leftovers, leftovers......
After all that frenzy of cooking I did last weekend, we are finally finishing up the leftovers. I had a lot of nice green beans that were cooked from before, so I first melted some butter in a frying pan and sauteed an onion in it. Then I put the previously cooked green beans in the same pan (after draining them well) and tossed them with the butter till they warmed up a bit. Additions of salt, pepper and a quick sprinkle of dried chives really gave them a great flavor. It is a good way to get a different taste from leftover green beans. Along with that I reheated the last two stuffed peppers that I had made with some of the ground turkey mixed with a little bit of a special rice blend I bought from Trader Joes that I put right in the mix with the meat. I have to tell you, Trader Joes has some of the most interesting goodies! I don't often get there, but there are certain favorite items that they stock. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind. Sit like a mountain floating on the earth.

Also, I enjoy their plain Puffins cereal. The only white rice I eat these days, is the sticky rice in their California rolls. Wish I could go tomorrow, but we've got blizzard threats yet again, and with a high predicted of - like - 2, it won't really be a great day for errands. They're promising we'll get up into double digits by the weekend. |

They're promising we'll get up into double > digits by the weekend. It's really cold here too. Hubby has been running the woostove every day for a while, just to save on some oil. The rice blend I used from TJ's was not white rice, but a blend of various brown rices and some kind of black barley too. I only used a tiny bit and mixed it right into the mix of the stuffing. Hubby prefers white rice, but he is going to eat better if I have to muscle him into it!!!! Frankly this rice blend was awesome. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind.

I like it and never miss a chance to go there whenever I get the chance. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind. Sit like a mountain floating on the earth.
