What's for dinner?

I've got chicken thighs thawed so tonight will be something chicken-ish. Somebody mentioned gumbo a couple days ago so I may lean in that direction. Won't be authentic because we'll skip the rice. May or may not totally change my mind between now and dinner. Another possibility would be a sheet pan dinner of some sorts.

I found a moth eaten smoked ham leg in the freezer - no date. So I hacked at it, after thawing, so I could cram it into my round crock pot.
I'll cook all day, then refrigerate, then skim the fat and save the meat. Soup for another day.

I vote sheet pan chicken something.

Hoping you'll have "something" with some of the ham while it's hot!

Sheet pan it is! Chicken, potatoes (for me, not DH) some cabbage, garlic, onions and sweet peppers. Smells pretty darn good in here right now.

We had tri tips, baked potato, corn and salad. Simple but elegant.

i made some cole slaw last night using what was left of the jar of Miracle Whip, added to that was some apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard packets and a squirt of extra mustard from the bigger jar, then added peanuts and leftover walnuts. turned out exactly how i imagined (i've done things like this enough that it isn't a surprise ). i ate about half of it last night and had half of the other half today with lunch (a few bites of vegetable soup and a few cherry, pecan, chocolate chip cookies and milk).

tonight it will be a vegetable beef soup reprise. no bread or extras as i already had my cookies for the day, one square of chocolate (chocolate chip,etc. cookies don't count) and peanuts. some cottage cheese probably. it gives things more staying power.

Cookies - yum!

i know! and what's even worse is that when Mom was making them i was really enjoying raiding her mixing bowl for bits of cookie dough. when i'm cleaning up after she bakes i also get the option of scraping any bowls i want for even more snacking. it's a tough life... (being the family dog)...

Chocolate chip, cherry and pecan cookies sound so good I looked up a recipe!

We had smothered burritos
