We are going to a combination Birthday Party and Celebration of Life for a friend that died a couple weeks ago. I know, weird. But that's what it is. Nothing but cake and champagne. I guess we'll eat when we get home.

Tonight I’m making breakfast for dinner; bacon 
, scrambled eggs 
, and leftover Spanish tortilla. I’ve been craving pancakes 
but that may be over the top.

Parmesan Tomato Canellini bean soup.
I went ahead and made this, and had a bowl for lunch (with toasty rustic bread for dipping).
It's delicious!
I'll be packing light for my work lunch tonight.

Good to see ya back, Johnny !Tonight I’m making breakfast for dinner; bacon
I have little sandwich plate-sized tortillas so tonight I made 2 tortizzas.
The first was a Margarita pizza - fresh mozzarella, my tomato, my basil, a bit of garlic oil. Too floppy and not a lot of flavor (my friend, Lynne, bought the fresh mozz - I've never been a fan).
The second tortizza was with a Mexican blend of cheeses, sopressetta and pepperoncini. Perfectly crisp and bursting with flavor!

And a glass of red wine.

12” Subway Spicy Italian .
Kathleen, that reminds me of a dish my Grandma used to make.
Cafeteria Noodles she called it, only with beef.

I have found that most fresh mozzarella lacks salt. Often, just adding salt & pepper helps a lot
Today I'll be making one of the low carb chicken patties on a bun with coleslaw.
Probably sweet potato fries on the side.

My grandmother called them cafeteria noodles as well. But she would use whatever she had on-hand. I very much love them cooked with beef. For anyone interested:
Basically 1-2 cans of condensed soup, 48 ounces of liquid, 1/2 stick of butter, and 16 ounces of dried egg noodles. Bring all to hard boil for 3 to 4 minutes, stir well once making sure nothing is stuck on the bottom. Kill the heat and cover. Let it sit covered for 15 minutes without peeking. Done.
So...for this chicken noodle dish, my soups were cream of mushroom and celery. My liquids were 24 ounces chicken broth and 24 ounces veggie broth using Better-Than-Bouillon. I like to use wide egg noodles. I also added some thyme, sage, and black pepper with a tablespoon or two of dried parsley.
After 15 minutes were up, I stir in my cooked chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken.) Serve.
This reheats well, makes a bunch, and even can be frozen. Or just divide the recipe!
Thanks Kathleen!
I decided to just use lettuce, onion, mayo and pickles.
The bun is Sara Lee artesano.

Excellent idea, Peep! I've been saving a nice ham bone in my freezer for the cooler weather. It's finally here!

Leftovers- exactly like Kathleen’s.
“Kathleen said:
Chicken noodle wonderpot (one-pot meal) using leftover rotisserie chicken..”

Yes, now, see when I was reading Kathleen's recipe, I said to myself, "I'd have to toss some frozen peas in there, too".

Inspired by Lora's soup, I took a shortcut by using boxed tomato soup and a can of cannelini beans. My friend, Lynne, bought low sodium soup and even though I added salt, it was bland. I'm going to doctor up the leftovers with some of the stuff that Lora put in her soup.
Served with half of a grilled smoked ham and colby cheese on seeded rye (wonderful!)
