This week I decided to use up some leftovers for breakfast---was very hungry Sunday a.m. so found a recipe for a breakfast pizza, using naan bread as the base. Had bits and pieces of stuff, cheese, greens, peppers, green onions,  the naan bread, even spam----I know--my DD uses spam for her cooking-----anyway, sauteed it together, except for the cheese, and added several lovely brown eggs with golden yolks and scrambled it just until the mixture was set and not runny--added seasoning --then oiled the naan with olive oil on the bottom and poured the egg mixture overtop, cheesed it and baked it. Also added a bit of feta too. Boy was it good!!! Forgot how versatile naan bread is.

@wagirl.  You're to be commended.  I've never heard "cheese" used as a verb before.  I wish you'd taken a picture.  Sounds delish.

@Kachina624 --haha--you know I thought about taking a photo--was really a beautiful thing---and DD mentioned how good it was later in the day--she ate it cold and thought is was very tasty!!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend indulgence to me!

@wagirl  Watched a youtube video of Jolly w/ Jason Momona.  Two British guys who traveled to Hawaii to meet Jason and taste the food from his favorite island diner.  A whole part of the video was devoted to various flavors of Spam

@cindyNC --there are soo many flavors of Spam. We go to H Mart, an Asian market nearby and there are endcaps full of Spam. It's really not a very healthy product, very processed so I don't eat much but is so popular around the world.

As our weather here in PNW--the west side of WA, near Seattle---is finally cooling off, am feeling the need for soup!! I have an excellent mag by DELISH, that is nothing but soups, stews, chilis, all of which I would eat all day long!! Yesterday I made cheeseburger soup. It was GOOOOD!! I've made it a few times so by now,   I can tweak it a little and my tweaks paid off with last nights batch. I whirled up some dill pickles with their juice and served that as an add in.  Served  with a fresh green salad, mixture of peach, pluots,and blueberries. Today it should be even better after sitting overnight and developing those flavors---also cooked up a sizeable sweet potato and may soup that baby too!!

I'm in the same mood. I have gumbo on my mind. I need to get a few ingredients.

Today--Tuesday----I cut down my basil bush-- it grew very well this year--and made pesto for my freezer. But this time I added blanched broccoli to the mix. I usually add a handful of spinach anyway, just to smooth out the basil, sometimes it can be pretty harsh and the spinach tames it a bit. So I got a handful of broccoli that I steamed in the micro for 45 seconds and I added it to the usual ingredients. Turned out pretty good, atho I think pesto needs to sit for a day or 2 to meld all those flavors . So will put this into an ice cube tray to freeze and I am set for awhile.I did cook up some pasta and tried it out--was delicious, I must say!!

This week---I did make a chicken pot pie soup and it was pretty tasty. The recipe had shredded hash browns as an ingredient which I was intrigued by. Also I baked up a pie crust, flat, and then broke that up into pieces to drop in the soup on top. Made a very hearty, thick soup, mostly from the hash browns-- they didn't totally disappear but just was an added veg---I like potatoes in my chick pot pie anyway. You could use rotisserie chicken or I just poached up what I had. And as is the usual, the soup just gets better after a few days.
