The day after our cookie party usually means we’re a bit rough around the edges. That means that Sunday is the perfect day to finally get that Thanksgiving carcass and leftover meat out of my freezer and simmer a homemade stock all day to make some soul satisfying soup. I don’t have a recipe for you on this one…just winging it based on the leftovers and veggies I have in the house.
Monday night the Patriots are playing the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football…so we’re having some friends over to watch the game. I’ll make our favorite football food…these meatballs are amazingly reminiscent of buffalo wings but with a lot less guilt. I even use 2% fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to make the blue cheese dressing. To make it feel like more of a meal than an appetizer I’ll make some buttered Parmesan noodles and roasted broccoli rabe to serve alongside the meatballs. Go Pats!
Christian is heading out of town on Wednesday until Saturday so the rest of the week will be easy, breezy leftovers and other simple dinner solutions. Saturday I’ll pick Christian up from the airport and we’ll whisk up to Santa Rosa for my boss’ Holiday Party…gotta love this time of year!
