A Catch All Dinner

Now that Chris and I are totally responsible for buying groceries and making sure food doesn't go bad, I've found some creative ways to use leftovers.... one ingenious idea was combining a iceburg lettuce and cabbage for a salad- you could barely tell the cabbage was in there, except the salad had more flavor and more crunch! a good change to me! A few nights ago we had a rotisserie chicken, and then I ate some leftovers for lunch, and Chris has a container of leftovers for lunch, but there was still some leftover! Soooo, tonight for dinner we have a very catch-all dinner, and a keeper catch-all at that! We combined leftover spaghetti sauce with leftover fresh basil, fresh mushrooms, and the remaining chicken for a chicken mushroom spaghetti sauce! It was amazing! Lighter than a normal beef meat sauce, but chunkier than a normal marinara sauce. yum!

In addition to our catch-all spaghetti sauce, we also had catch-all pasta with the remains of 3 different types of pasta, and catch-all lettuce with a cabbage/lettuce mix! Top that off with some good 'ole Texas toast and we had ourselves a quick, delicious catch-all dinner!

Chris also surprised me with some funky green and pink roses just because!
