Reruns-leftover pizza

[Tom Earp]

Rerun, I am getting in a rut!

[FSUZeta]

That's okay. I usually make enough for 2nds-I either freeze to for later and we eat it the next day. Saves time in the kitchen, especially when I don't leave school in enough time to cook.

Last night; stuffed sweet potatoes.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey
1-2 packages taco seasoning (to taste), follow package directions. If using 2 packages, double water.
Sweet potatoes
1 can black beans
1 jar salsa

Tom that is an easy recipe. I brown some ground turkey and then add some taco seasoning, following package directions. I stab a sweet potato and cook it in the microwave (but you can cook in the oven) for about 8-10 minutes. Let the sweet potato cook and then scoop out the insides into a bowl. Top with some of the turkey taco meat, canned black beans, and salsa.

broccoli (still not roasted - have a new oven THAT DOESN'T WORK)

[FSUZeta]

Roasted broccoli is a fave of mine.

Roasted a Free Range chicken with baby potatoes. I cute the potatoes in half and placed them flat-side down in a single layer in the baking dish, then put the whole chicken on top of the potatoes. The potatoes crisped up so they were crunchy and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

[FSUZeta]

That sounds delicious. I'll have to try that.

I was exhausted so we had GF pizza.

MY NEW OVEN WORKS AND I AM SO HAPPY!
Spanish shrimp and roasted potatoes. I had my doubts, but the potatoes mixed with aioli, shallots, peppers, zucchini and garlic was very tasty!
