Leftovers with Biff and Buffy

Biff and Buffy are the names my mom calls us when we go play tennis, which we did tonight. It was a great night for it- we both caught the early train, and it had really cooled off by around 7. We had to try a different park, because the courts were full at the first one, but we still got a good amount of playing in before it got too dark. I really need to work on my serve. It will be sad when it is dark out before we even get home.

We had leftovers tonight that I brought back from my trip to Gram's on Monday. She's a tricky one to cook for. She's diabetic and has to watch her salt and fat. I went with a ground turkey Shepherd's Pie which I topped with a combo of mashed potatoes and cauliflower (not realizing that she doesn't eat cauliflower. Luckily, Jill had some instant potatoes and I was able to switch out half the topping when we got there). I am not giving you the recipe because I didn't love it, and it wasn't much to look at, so there are no pictures. I doctored it up tonight for dinner, adding a good amount of salt, some spicy steak seasonings, and some shredded cheese to the topping. If anyone has recipe ideas for the next time I visit Gram, please let me know!

As a side-note, Sabrina has not been to dinner in a very long time. What is up with that? Hmm?

I made Gram, Annie, Bri and Aunt Ri dinner tonight. I sauteed sliced mushrooms with garlic, then added a can of crushed tomatoes to simmer. At the last minute I blended in part-skim ricotta and fresh basil, then tossed with rigatoni. Gram asked for seconds, so I guess she liked it!

As a side note, I am very busy.
