Don't get me wrong, I enjoy cooking. But I still feel like I've scored an unanticipated holiday!

Meatloaf, au gratin potatoes, and a (not leftover) salad.

Spaghetti Carbonara with a spinach and mushroom salad. Garlic bread.

Roasting some Italian cut green beans to snack on later.

Really good, really filling!

I made a tuna noodle casserole.


Believe it or not, I've NEVER made one. But we have quite a bit of tuna and plenty of egg noodles.

I'm going to serve it w/ steamed broccoli and sliced tomato.

Ice cream for dessert (of course).




Dad had BLT with fries.

once in awhile. I use the miracle noodles (no carbs) and add some peas or mixed vegs. I make my own cream sauce with almond milk to cut a few more carbs out.

Thanks for the idea. Might do that later this week

Deserves 2 of my last hearts.

OMG, restaurant quality flavors!

Not hard to make, most time dedicated to preparation.

And so good -- and I'm not a fan of zucchini.
