Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Tender-Crisp Vegetables (Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Cauliflower, Red Bell Pepper and White Onion)

This topic is what caused me to start inventorying my freezer. I print out the list and keep it on the side of the fridge. I don’t update every time I pull something out or put something in, but I do try to update it at least every few weeks. I am also getting better at labeling! Below is the current list - we used the Rib Eye for dinner last night.

Lunch today at Chala’s in Old Mesilla Pork Carnitas Tacos

Dinner the other night at El Camino Family Restaurant and Coffee Shop in Socorro, New Mexico Red Chile Pork with Pinto Beans

I have been visiting with family in New Mexico for the last few days and yesterday we were in Hatch for lunch. Sparky’s Burgers, Barbecue and Expresso Chile Cheeseburger and Seasoned Pinto Beans And live music to dine by!

Turkey, Vegetable, Rice Soup. The turkey and rice are in there, they just sank to the bottom of the bowl! I made the stock for the soup from our Christmas turkey carcass in my Instant Pot. Then made the rice, using some of the stock as the liquid, in my rice cooker. Sweated the Vegetables (onion, celery and carrot) in a bit of olive oil, then added the stock and some leftover chicken broth, and brought it to a boil, then simmered for about 15 minutes, finally added the diced turkey and heated through. To serve - I put the still warm rice in the bowl and ladled the soup over the rice. We had this for dinner last night, lunch today, and will have it again for dinner tonight! I love soup! I need to make it more often!

😬 Yes, they are part of the plate. They make it a real picnic! 🤪 I found these plates at a shop in north Texas last Spring. I just had to have them! Set of four plates.

Not everything on your wish list, but I have switched to Mariner Software’s MacGourmet.

Christmas Dinner this year: Roast Turkey, Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and Peas

I started with one 14-piece set and now have three sets. I love them! We do have a microwave and I use them a lot for reheating leftovers.
