Leftovers (AKA Encore Performances)

Today was one of those lovely sit under a tree with a glass of sweet tea kind of days. By the time the kids and I bedgrudginly came inside, it was well past time to make dinner. I don't do a good job of planning ahead. Many times leftovers go to waste because, well, I don't want them. I know. I know. That is an expensive habit I am trying to break.

We had some leftover chicken breasts that were just fine but I didn't want to have the same thing again. I happen to notice a bottle of barbecue sauce that was about to expire. Hmm...Ok, that will work.

I chopped up the chicken really fine. No real reason. I just felt all "choppy" I guess. I cooked that with a bit of butter and olive oil. Probably unnecessary, but I don't like dry leftover chicken and we don't do low fat around here anyway. When it was cooked all the way (reheated, really) I added some barbecue sauce. I served that with rice and a side of broccoli (with butter and parmesan cheese). The kids loved it. Not too bad for a last minute dinner.

I would add a picture, but, well....I ate it all before I thought to take one. Ooops!

Back in the Saddle

I was just thinking the other day about all the projects I have going and that I should take pictures for the blog. Oh yeah. Then I remembered I have been neglecting the blog. I have not posted in several months. I make no excuses. Life is busy and frankly I have few "followers" so I was not really letting anyone down. Then I remembered the reason I started the blog: Me. I enjoy jotting down my ponderings and capturing my projects. So here we go.....back at it again.
