Sheet pan veggies (yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes) and chicken breast (sliced before baking) tossed in olive oil, salt & pepper, garlic and smoked paprika. When done I drizzled across the pan a hot and spicy mayo and a hot sauce. They can make fajitas or just eat it. 😋🥰

I made a regular meatloaf with peppers and onions, eggs, bread crumbs and whatever seasoning you use. I made large meatballs and browned them off in skillet and then put on sheet pan and finished cooking in oven. While the meatballs were baking I sauteed more onions and peppers added garlic and tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes. Season how you like, simmer. Next very thin slice cabbage, saute with olive oil, salt and pepper until soft.

Plate: cabbage noodles on plate, meatballs on top then spoon on the sauce. Top with Parmesan. 😊

Had some beef I picked up at the store “50%” off and obviously not going to be as tender as a ribeye to make a cheesesteak sandwich but turned out pretty good. I made mine too big and could only eat half of it. Saved the rest for tomorrow. Had to do steak fries to go with it. 😂
