Well, I have already cooked a meal and a half today - I roasted a Butterball Turkey breat (the Herb one) to have for sandwich meat and froze enough for 1 meal for my family for later and then for lunch I made yummy Ham, Cheese & Veggie Rotini, put enough for a second lunch in the fridge for friday and froze the rest. The recipe is as follows:
8oz Rotini Pasta (I used the veggie kind great colors and it has a whole serving of veggies all by itself)
1/2 pkg frozen california mix vegetables
1/2 lb cubed ham
2 tbsp milk, plus 1 cup of milk
2 tbsp of all purpose flour
1 tbsp of butter
1/2 package shredded cheddar chees or approx 1 cup
1. Cook pasta according to package.
2. When pasta is 5min out from being done - add the veggies and the ham; cook the rest of the time according to the package; drain.
3. After you put in the ham and veggies make the sauce; put 2 tbsp flour & 2 tbsp milk in a cup and stir until smooth, pour into pan with 1 tbsp butter and turn on the burner (if you turn on the burner first you might burn the flour - I did this today - oops!)
4. When pan starts to get hot - stir constantly and whisk in the 1 cup of milk; stir constantly for 1 - 2 min (should thicken).
5. Reduce heat to Lo and stir in cheese until smooth again.
6. Pour over drained pasta, ham & veggies and stir to coat - then serve!
Yummy!!!
The turkey I just followed the directions...bake it in the oven on 325degrees F for 2 1/2 to 3 hrs until meat thermo reads 170degrees F.
So, I am raiding the freezer for dinner tonight...I have some turkey lunch meat that needs to be eaten today or I am going to throw it out. Wish me luck!
