Cold Night, Hot Soup

We made one of the dry soup mixes I always keep on hand tonight. Chicken and Wild Rice. Added in a bunch of corn and chicken, and served it with a bit of left over Beer Bread.

My favorite part of the meal was that we have leftovers for a good seven or eight meals. Two servings went in the fridge, the rest went in smaller containers and into the freezer for those days I have no desire to make so much as a sandwich for lunch.

A winner all around!

Don't Let It Go Bad Pizza

Homemade Pizza for dinner tonight.
Always a favorite, tonight he really inspired me when he said "I should have to pay for this experience."

You see, the way we do pizza in my house, is I gather together anything he might possibly want to put on a pizza - I chop veggies, shred cheese, set out the Prego and the Tastefully Simple Pesto and chopped chicken or whatever meats we have.

I ready the crust - tonight was a Jiffy Pizza Crust, but I'm also a big fan of Bisquick and Pillsbury crusts.

When the crust is precooked, I hollar for him, and he comes in and shakes on the pesto and carefully arranges the chopped peppers and mushrooms and onions and chicken and whatever else I have laid out for him. He sprinkles the cheese on top and pops it in the oven.

He thinks he's had quite the experience. Make-your-own pizza.

I think I just managed to use up a cup of mushrooms and several peppers that would have gone bad if not used. The peppers were already not quite crisp...but who can tell on a pizza?

Don't let it go bad pizza gets four stars!
