Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and the last bag of my farm frozen corn,😞. Still got some farm spinach , from last year I gotta use up soon.
After I have had a meal of hot rotisserie chicken I like to take the meat off, stick it in a baggie and use it for salads or whatever and freeze the carcass for soup later. The meat seems to stay moister that way.
I have to confess i finally broke down and bought some allergen free chocolate glazed donuts - cake type - and ate two of them. 🍩🍩
I am debating with myself if it was worth it. Haven't had any for about 2 years. I guess I will figure it out by the time I finish the other 4 in the package.😜
Sweet and sour pineapple pork on rice and a salad. I had some ground pork and couldn't think what else to do with it. I used to do pork riblets this way but haven't seen them in the grocery store for a while,
Watermelon .
Strawberry lemonade .
Turn over uncooked tortilla in pan; add a bit of canned Chili con carne; add two cheeses freshly grated, fold over in thirds after very lightly browned, not even, microwave 22 sec. done!
That was lunch, veggies for dinner: zucchini & yellow squash, mushrooms, carrots
coming up at 8:00 p.m. I was still hungry, ordered from Instacart delivery.costco.
Arrived in 30 min., very unusual-I am so encouraged taking care of business and staying home!
Went online to find some green beans and they did not have any.
The watermelon and cantaloupe have been so delicious this year. Oh and the nectarines, labeled as yellow peaches, were the best we have had since we harvested some 10 years ago from the orchard. Juicy and sweet and tart, mmmmmmgoood!
Had a turkey sandwich, with gouda and bacon, and pasta salad. It was really good.
Isthisrealllyreal, I love blts and melon!!
Oh, one thing that I do if I get an icky watermelon, I blend it into juice, freeze it an enjoy the sweetening that this creates in a slushy drink.
Hey, it's summer! 🍦
I haven't had any for a couple of years so today I bought some dairy free coconut almond mocha bars and had a couple for supper with some strawberries, a cookie and a piece of dark chocolate. 🍓🍓🍓🍪🍫. My waistline is expanding as I write!
There's two more in the package and then that will be me good for another year or so. 😊
We picked up subs, heat index got to 107, so cooking wasn't gonna happen!!
My taco salad , was a hit, everyone came back for more. if anyone wants a recipe for a party, it's a bit different than I would have made it without a recipe.
Had zucchini and rice and pork chops, Tuesday.
Tonight was corn , smashed potatoes, and grilled chicken.
We are going to smoke some chicken, hot dogs and a ham. Yippee! No cooking for me all weekend and next week just prepping different veggies to fill the meal. Love holiday weekends!
God Bless America!
Had left over frozen turkey dinner here yesterday and home made cranberry sauce. I'm sorting out the freezers and it's cool days this week. Sent the rest of it off with R to the farm for a quick meal for him.
Found a good gluten free, dairy free corn (like) low carb bread mix. Great texture and very moist. I'll have to figure out how to ramp up the flavour without adding lots of carbs.
Woke up to 65 F (18C) this morning. Fresh!!!
Herbs are great for amping up bread. Love rosemary and olive oil.
Chipotle powder with some white cheddar makes a great combo.
Just some ideas.
Love, love, love homemade cranberry sauce with turkey and chicken. Mmmmgooood!
The whole orange sounds delish. Oh, some orange, cranberries and cinnamon, a desert bread, yummo!
