Tonight was definitely one of those nights where a fresh dinner did not need to be prepared. Our fridge has been jam packed with an ever growing supply of leftovers as of late…
Crab Cakes with Avocado-Mango Salsa…
So rather than add to the leftover pile up, Jay and I decided to incorporate some of what we already had for tonight’s dinner. While hubby took care of finishing up the rest of the chicken, I went to to town on the quinoa and my veggie drawer.
I first sautéed up some broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, and scallions in a bit of EVOO, dried basil, salt & black pepper.
While the veggies were cooking up, I reheated ~1 cup of quinoa mixed with 2 tbsp goat cheese and ~1-1/2 tbsp Ken’s Northern Italian dressing in the microwave. Once that was cooked through, I tossed it all together, and topped it off with some slivered almonds.
It was full of flavor, and I loved the creamy, cheesy texture of everything too. Quick, easy, delicious = my kinda meal!
I debated on toasting up some bread on the side, but decided to save a little extra room for a delicious dessert tonight.
I knew I should have ignored the sale price, but I just couldn’t…
I picked up a carton of this Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Fat-Free Creamy Vanilla ice cream at the store this weekend and have been waiting to dig in ever since. I actually try not to buy ice cream too often for the house…especially when the weather is warmer and I constantly crave soft serve…but I caved and got it anyway. I’m a sucker for a good bargain.
I made myself a small bowl, topped with a little bit of caramel syrup (<—best ice cream topping ever) and a few Almond Oat Goji Berry Cookies.
Uhh-maz-ing.
Now let’s just hope I can keep myself from going back for a second bowl…
**Reminder! Have you entered my Goji Gourmet Giveaway yet?? Make sure to get your entries in! Now that I know how awesome they are on ice cream…well, you really don’t want to miss out!
Question for the Evening:
Do you buy ice cream to have at home? If so…what kinds? And what kinds of toppings do you like?
