Leftovers makeover

I find most of my meal planning revolves around whatever leftovers I happen to have in the fridge.  On a typical day I am cooking for one person, which leaves me with the option to eat the same things for several days on end or reincorporate the leftovers into new dishes.       

For lunch today I wanted to use up some leftover chicken I had grilled up earlier in the week, and I had some leftover tomato sauce from the 10 cheese pizza I made Friday.  So I decided to make a chicken parmesan inspired wrap, healthified of course.  (AKA leftover chicken, leftover sauce , NO cheese, on a Joseph’s middle east bakery low carb pita–seasoned up with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried parsley)

 Aren’t Jarrod’s dishes lovely? 😉    

After lunch we finished up the light tent.  Now we just need to get some lights!       

       

For my afternoon snack I had apples and some chocolate PB2.       

       

Chocolate PB2 = fabulous!  I need to work this into some shake recipes…        

Tonight we visited our friends Tim and Jaci at their newly purchased, exquisitely decorated townhouse.  Tim prepared a feast complimented with onions galore.

P.S. can’t wait to get my hair cut tomorrow!       

The man candy and his dessert 🙂

 

Beauty!

 

       

Happy Sunday!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
