Turkey, mixed veggies, choice of baked potato or rice, and a butternut squash dish I sort of made up. It tasted like pumpkin pie without the crust.

That sounds interesting. Care to share your recipe?
We had chicken and dumplings. That takes forever to make, but it's worth it. We will have leftovers for lunch.

... a butternut squash dish I sort of made up. It tasted like pumpkin pie without the crust.

Sure, I based it off of a pumpkin pie recipe and modified it to make it lower calorie. Feel free to change it around.
Butternut squash “pie”
2 lb butternut squash, cooked until soft
1/3 c sweetener I used Splenda whey low mixed, sugar would work too
1 can fat free evaporated milk
1tsp cinnamon
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs, beaten
dash of salt
To prepare squash; slice it in half, remove seeds and bake, face down, at 350° until soft (30-45 min) Allow to cool slightly, scoop out
Mix all ingredients and pour into glass pan. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and cook until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 30-40 minutes. Serve with light cool whip if desired.
You could eat this cold like pumpkin pie, but my son liked it better warm. I cooked it in a 9x9 pan. My husband wants me to try it in a pie shell next time. It was plenty sweet, even though I used a lot less sugar than a pumpkin pie calls for. I think butternut squash must be naturally sweeter than pumpkin.
The squash wouldn't have to be exactly 2 pounds. That was the size I had. I don't think you'd want to go smaller than that, but a bigger one should work. Just make sure the flesh has been baked until all of it is soft.

I made a huge pan of lasagna. I have trouble making lasagne. I cannot make it small. I don't think I have the right pan for it. The 13 x 9 inch pan is too small for three layers of noodles. The other pan I have is enormous. I need something in between.

Cynthia, I have that same problem so I freeze half of it and bring it out later when I don't have alot of time to cook. Add some rolls or garlic bread and you are set.

I was thinking the same thing as I don't think we can even fit the pan into the fridge. We'll have to freeze some separately. We will still have enough for dinner tomorrow.

They sell bags of mixed beans for soup. I've never separated them out to be sure, but the bag says it has 15 different kinds of beans in it.
