Repurposing leftovers

Hola,

I was surprised to see new menus up for the blog this week.  We are swimming in turkey, sweet potatoes, pancit, adobo, stir fried bok choy with persimmons ... I hadn't even thought to cook something new.  Leftovers, that there are multiple boxes throughout the house of things that need new homes and a little Monica on the verge of walking ... haven't had the energy to be original.  Reheat please.

Ann Marie-- Glad everyone is feeling better.  I will write my mom's recipe/scribblings for you for the adobo and salmon.  It's all about when things bubble...  My mom LOVED the ka-bo-cha squash and ginger snap crust pie.  She found it light and thinks you a genius.

Kathy--  Thanks for the cake recipe.  Cake turned out fantastic.  We might have beaten the maple syrup frosting too much such that it was runny.  We used it with blueberries for in between the layers and a lemon cream cheese frosting for the top and sides.  Ann Marie McGee helped decorate while I was working on stir frying veggies.  Thanks to Mrs. McGee I have some photos which I hope to turn into a blog post this weekend.

So here's how we are upcycling for the week:

Tuesday:  Hatch chili pepper and bell pepper with turkey soup

Wednesday:  Turkey quesadillas with persimmons

Thursday:  Salmon with asparagus

Friday:  Chicken adobo (defrosted after being frozen last weekend) with stir fried veggies

Saturday:  Kale and butternut squash lasagna

** Also roasted a spaghetti squash, shredded it and added olive oil, lemon, chili flakes and some parmesan as a back up side.

Have a great week!
