Same Meal Twice

There were so many leftovers from the Last-Minute Lasagna, I ended up eating it two different times today. It’s a pretty delicious recipe and I hate to see food go to waste, so why not, right? Combined with some homemade salad, it ended up being a nutritious and satisfying meal– both times! ;-)

Lunch

I packed-up my leftovers + salad to take with me to eat at NuVal this afternoon. I was so busy creating posts for when I am away in Oregon, I basically chowed lunch without paying much attention to the meal. It was over before I knew it! :-?

Snack

After work, I picked-up Mal from school. On my way, I stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts to grab him an iced coffee. Of course, I had a few sips of it. ;-)

I also bought us each a special treat. :-D

Holiday munchkins! Holy yum! I loved mine! Mal wasn’t nearly as ecstatic about his, but he ate it anyway.

Dinner

For dinner, I repeated lunch: homemade salad + leftovers.

Great leftovers… again!

For dessert, I enjoyed 2 small handfuls of chocolate chips. I think Murphy thought he was getting some of them.

    I’ve been inspired by your dinner last night, and will be making Last-Minute Lasagna for me and the hubby to finish up our fridge food before leaving town! Hope it’s a fabulous evening for ya!

    Tasty leftovers are the best thing because it’s a meal you can look foward to without dreading making :-)

    Leftovers are one of the greatest things EVER. I love repeat meals…. I’m not ashamed!

    Murphy can keep wishing ;)

    Tasty leftovers are the best. Plus they take hardly anytime to cook.
    I’m loving your schedule you posted. As a musician – I have strange hours and I also have to self motivate to practice. I think I should try revamping my schedule to start earlier and practice first.

    I love leftovers and actually *plan* for them in my monthly menus. I’m always so bitter when my hubby eats it all and there’s no leftovers ;-)

    I think guys get less excited about food. When Corey and I had coffee with Jenna this weekend, she asked him how he enjoyed our PHENOMENAL dinner in wine country. His reply: “It was good.”

    good? GOOD?!?!

    Poor Murph got super excited for those chips. Maybe then would have been the time to bust out those super cute dog treats?

    I love eating left-overs, the flavors get a chance to mesh together. Waste none :)

    So where does super cute Murphy stay while you go out of town or are you taking him with you?

    Oh I love Dunkin Donuts. Their iced coffees are so GOOD! I also always order 2 munchkins. One for me and one for my daughter. We like the cinnamon ones :)

    Some meals are just so good you have to eat them multiple times.

    I will be trying that quick lasagna as soon as I can drive to the grocery store again. This snow needs to clear up!

    I’ve never put pasta on a salad before, but you know, it sounds like a great idea. Do you use the sauce instead of dressing?

    I love GOOD leftovers. I don’t like wasting food either but there’s nothing worse when you really don’t like the leftovers…..then what? :)

    @Tasha: I guess I use the sauce instead of dressing. I’m not a big salad dressing person.

    I hate seeing food go to waste. Leftovers eaten are better than leftovers in the trash! Have a great evening with the gents!

    This is sick. I was going to share my favorite munchkin flavor with you… AND I COULDN’T REMEMBER IT! I think I need some Munchkins, I haven’t had them in so long!!!!!!

    Iced coffee after a snowstorm makes me laugh! I would have been shivering!!! Go Mal (and you for taking a few sips!!!)

    you know what they say — can’t have too much of a good thing ;) — leftovers are the best!
