Tonight, I'll make a chopped Southwest salad, with some of the beans, plus cut-up leftover Chicken Fried Steak, lettuce, tomato, onion, homemade salsa, red & green peppers and maybe some corn and crunched tortilla chips. Tomorrow, I'll serve the rest of the beans with BBQ chicken. The leftover BBQ chicken will go into a Greek salad with feta, kalamata olives, onion, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce on Thursday. Friday I plan to make potato salad and grilled pork chops ~ leftover potato salad with go with Morningside Sandwiches (BLT with over-easy egg on top) on Saturday. I'll make some coleslaw to go with the BBQ chicken and pork chops too ~ and there's a huge bowl of fresh cantaloupe cut up (I actually picked my first cantaloupe from the vine yesterday!). ~ Yesterday, I tossed together a batch of fresh apple nut butterscotch bars too. So, it all sounds tasty ~ yet inexpensive.
