First Day...What am I Doing?

I came up with this idea this morning in bed, 1/2 asleep & woken by some sort of drilling or jack hammering on the street. Why does everything seem like a better idea while coming out of dreamland? Anyway, I've been trying new recipes & trying to be resourceful while keeping the Fam (my fiance & myself) satisfied. I was recently inspired to start cooking for my dog, hence the "three." I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'll share with you what I have done so far. This week I have made salmon with vegetable fried rice. I cooked a small piece of salmon w/no seasoning or sauce first for Charlie (my dog, not fiance) Then I mixed it with the brown rice & a couple veggies & added flaxseed. Viola, gourmet dog food. Then I cooked our delicious meal. Everyone enjoyed my 1st selection for cooking for three. Yay for me! Yesterday we ate leftover fried rice w/a steak I had in the freezer. I cut it up, marinaded it in teriyaki, sauteed & added rice. Easy peazy. For Charlie however, I bought some chicken & baked it w/a couple of carrots, mixed that in a food processer w/left over brown rice & flaxseed.(my fiance didn't sign up for this, I hope he doesn't think I'm losin it) What's on the menu for today you ask? I have some ground turkey just waiting to be cooked. I'm thinking of using 1/2 the meat for turkey burgers, & the other 1/2 for a pasta sauce...but I'm open to ideas. And though I did buy that turkey w/Charlie in mind...he's got leftover chicken to eat!
