What should I make for dinner tonight with these leftovers?!
Answers: I have 2 porkshops, a head of cabbage, some shrimp, green beans, potatoes, some mushrooms, 3 mangoes, and blue cheese.
cut up the pork chops and let them sit in a slow cooker with bbq sauce. make coleslaw with the cabbage.and cook the potatoes with the green beans.
Make a curry of everything but the fruit and cheese. Fruit for dessert, and I just don't like blue cheese.
put it all,except the mangoes,shrimp & blue cheese into a crock pot or slow cooker...make a green salad ,add the shrimp & blue cheese to it and have the mangoes sliced up on the side..enjoy!
throw everything out n order chinese
Something easy and tasty is put a few chicken breasts in a skillet with 2 cans of chicken broth and a cup of rice and cover for about an hour on medium heat with a bit of garlic and pepper. Easy and healthy and yummy.
Reheat most of whats on that menu.
I'm assuming by "left overs" you're saying all this stuff has been cooked already. If the greenbeans are in good shape (not overcoooked and/or greasy) they'd make a nice little salad with the shrimp and mango, make a mild vinagrette, no more than 1/4 vinegar, and use a mild vinegar; not balsamic or red. Rice wine vinegar sounds good to me. The cabbage and pork are made for each other, get' em into a crock pot with juniper and caraway and a hearty red wine. When the pork is falling off the bone, add the mushrooms and potatos.
The blue cheese would overwhelm everything else, so save it for dessert (make little melbas with some stale bread you've got laying around) with the rest of the red wine. Bon Apetite!
you could make a mango salsa and do shrimp cocktail...these would require a few ingredients, but not many.

secondly, use your potatoes and pork in this recipe....

The blue cheese would go nicely sprinkled on top of the potatoes. Also, cook your green beans to go with this main course...you can sauté your mushrooms in a bit of olive oil to toss in with the beans.
That leaves your cabbage, which you could fashion into some type of garnish.
Good luck! Hope these help!
cook the porkchops, keep the mangoes and cheese for a cheese cake and everything else make it into a strifry or ...................... throw it all out and order in !
The pork chops, cabbage, shrimp, mushrooms and mango would make great stir-fry. Or serve the mango as dessert. Saute the green beans in a little oil (sesame if you have it), soy sauce and minced garlic and serve on the side.
Make twice baked potatoes stuffed with blue cheese tomorrow.
Grilled Chops.
Mashed potatoes.
Steamed Cabbage and Green Beans.
Mushroom sauce to pour over everything.
Mango's for afters.
