Leftover Night! TGIF! and a suggestion for tommorow night - super easy!

Happy Friday to all of you!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Friday is the evening where I clean the fridge out.  We eat leftovers. 

Sometimes, I reinvent the wheel, like taking the Parmesan Chicken and making a sandwich out of it with cheese.  I reheat it in a skillet, so it stays crispy, add our favorite cheese, toast bread and mix up mayo and caesar or ranch dressing for a spread.  Add some lettuce and tomato and you have a very nice sandwich.  I would slice the chicken up, it's easier.

I also had stuffed shells left, so I can add a can of tomato sauce and grated cheese to those or a can of diced tomatoes to make them appear different - a new meal right before your eyes.  Don't forget any fresh herbs you have leftover from the week!  Cut them up for the top of any of your leftovers.

Pesto Shrimp can be eaten cold or hot.  We had company for dinner so there was NO leftovers.  We were licking the bowl!  That is some tasty stuff!

The grill is always my favorite on the weekends in the summer, early spring and fall, well really all year.  So, don't forget your favorite grill recipes for the weekend.  It will be nice this weekend, grab your favorite adult beverage and grill your favorites.

Now - for an easy idea for tomorrow night-
Easy Chicken Pot Pie
One pie can feed 2-3 people
- One package of deep dish pie shells (there are 2 in a package)
- A can of good quality chicken breast (it's over by the tuna and spam)
- A 15 oz can of mixed veggies (like Veg-All)
- A can of cream of chicken and mushroom soup with garlic (or any cream of anything soup)
- salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400. 
Take the pie shells apart and sit them on the counter to soften just a bit.  Mix the chicken, soup and veggies together in a bowl.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Dump the mixture into one of the pie shells and take the second pie shell out of the tin and place it on top of the mixture as the top crust.  Don't worry if it isn't perfect, it eats well!  I normally take the crust off the top in some places.  If you don't have a couple of slits in the top, cut you some to vent the pie.  Cook on a cookie sheet for about 40 mins or until the top is brown. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
