Dreaming about warmer days by doing a different take on fish chips with homemade breaded fish sticks and wild rice. I'm using some frozen fish filets that we had in the freezer that we had caught while enjoying time at the lake this summer as a family. Then swapped out the fries for a wild rice blend (just because we have enjoyed potatoes a bit to much over the holidays!).

I'm part of a group on Facebook where it's sole existence is to post what you had for supper?

So I'm throwing it out to all of you beautiful people, what did you have for supper????

We had a 'Heather's Special' which meant scrounging for inspiration at 5:00pm in the freezer, where I found frozen turkey breasts and broccoli. Grabbed the instant pot, put it on sauté with the turkey breasts and some garlic for a few minutes and then added vegetable soup stock, some macaroni noodles, nutritional yeast, mustard, cheese, the bag of frozen broccoli and put it on to cook for 15 minutes!

Did some tofu up for myself on the side and tada! Supper is done and I got two 👍🏻 up from the kids.
