Ms Madge, Same ingredients as casserole, but they cook on stovetop - soupy and no cheese of any kind.

PJ's son took us out to dinner. He and PJ have been fussing. I guess C. Thought he would get PJ out in a public place and that he would chill out. I had a very good broiled seafood dinner. PJ didn't chill.

One of the web sites I use to check grocery flyers lets you search for specific items to see who might have a sale. I typed in "carrots" and found ... carrot cake. Hm. Now I want carrot cake.

Ali, Same dish everywhere, but the New England version is called American Chop Suey. Not my favorite, but popular for school and church fundraiser dinners. Glad you got good shrimp.

MsMadge,
Wash down those off brand peanuts with a few more jelly beans.

Eating for health: Caregiving is stressful. The 24 hr. drive-throughs (on your way home)
now have salads with chicken on them. The Southwest salad is pretty good.
For dessert, have more jelly beans. imo.

I'm showing great discipline - there are still jelly beans in the cupboard

Another ridiculously late night at work - foraging for something out of the vending machine - off brand peanuts - yuck

Polarbear-I don't know , ketchup on eggs is gross. Salsa is different though, salsa can work on eggs.
Anasazi beans are quite delicious, definately worth a try, let me know if you get to try them and what you think.
I agree with hubby doing those sorts of gross things, I am sure lucky probably does too.
Onelaststraw-welcome
Cwillie-thanks for defining kipferl, I wasn't sure.
CM-take it easy on the kipferl :)
Gershun-glad you ate better today, yesterdays menu was quite rough, not on the tast buds though.
Ms, Madge- a bag of jelly beans or a few, how did it turn out?

"American chop suey." I had to look it up. I know the dish but never knew it was called that in some places!

I love a good BLT, Sue.

I didn't cook tonight, instead stuffed my face with some salad greens and a few slices of roast beef, but I did fill up the freezer with shrimp (no slimeys this time), lamb, pork, chicken, hamburger, and I'm looking forward to figuring out what I'll make with all that, one dish at a time. I'm only cooking for myself so this doesn't make sense maybe, but I've gotten into a habit of making something 1x a week to keep improving my cooking skills. I started cooking for myself during caregiving years just couple of years ago, pretty late start because I was 38-39 yo already but just had never had time or need or interest in learning to cook beyond making an occasional recipe dish for special occasion or scrambled eggs in the morning, and I've really come a ways, I think. At least I won't burn anything beyond being edible these days.

Hubs made bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce and cheese sandwiches with chips for me and a side of jalepeños for him.

Delicious! Now an ice cream sandwich will finish the meal.

I feel a little silly making this my first post here on AgingCare but having just finished making my father a couple days worth of healthy, read-to-eat meals I figure what the heck. Today was some side salads to go with pasta and sautéed veggies, topped with shredded leftover turkey in Alfredo sauce; Ready for the microwave!

Here I am sitting with chocolate peanut butter ice cream...oh the irony.

Country mouse,
Regarding Kipferl;
At 109 calories a piece, one might need to stop at two, lest one becomes too large for one's pants.

I'll have to look that up since cookies are my favorite food!

Right now I'm hooked on the Chinese almond cookies in the pink box. Von's has 'em for $3.99 a box of 16 but, ha-hah!
I am a smart shopper and know that the 99 cent store has the same ones! Now, they make them in "baby" size. Oh, those are WAY too easy to down the whole bag by justifying how small they are--until they're gone. 😱

I still have a box of the Keebler MandM cookies too, just in case of a chocolate craving.
Limit 3 cookies total per day.

In Heaven there will be no limit-and they'll be fresh baked! That truely will be Heavenly. 👼🏼 🍪

I had to look up kipferl, something like a shortbread with the extra deliciousness of ground almonds. AgingCare teaches me something new yet again (even if it isn't about caregiving). Sounds Yummy!

- Have another kipferl, help yourself.
- Oh I really shouldn't, I've already had two...
- Three. But who's counting?

I had a healthy salad for lunch and a veggie packed chicken stir fry for supper and I slept like a baby. But maybe that was due to the 5 (or was it 6?) cookies I had at bedtime.

Last night was fish sticks with a variety of frozen vegetables. Awake at 3 a.m., drinking cranberry pomegranite juice, can't sleep either.

I had a real healthy eating day.............I guess this would be yesterday since it's 5:30 am. here now.

Started the day off with a slice of cold left-over pizza and a coffee. Then later in the day, a bowl of Kefir yogurt mixed with applesauce. Then a while later, half a bag of Lay's potato chips followed by half a chocolate bar. A couple of hours later a bowl of sherbet followed by more chips and the other half of the chocolate bar.

I feel like crapola and can't sleep. Probably all that salt and sugar flowing through my bloodstream. :P I'll try to do better today. Promise.................Argh!!!

Warning! I'm going to be contradictory here - ;D

Ketchup on eggs. Tastes good. I do that all the times. My MIL makes really good and spicy salsa. I put that on a lot of savory foods. Yum... ;D

I don't mind my husband doing gross things. I'm actually thankful he can handle gross things like turning the compost piles, looking for and picking up the decomposing animal somewhere under the crawlspace of the house, or putting down a sick chicken. All of these would gross me out, and no way I can do the last thing.

smeshque - I have not heard of anasazi beans before. Just looked them up. They are pretty. I might try cooking them if I can find them at the markets.

No smesque, we had Mexican for dinner and lunch was a bowl of cereal and breakfast was cream of wheat so none today but soon I'll get some and thanks for asking.

Brother's do a lot of gross things too:)

Luckylu -You make your own cheese puffs , how delicious. $4.00 a jar that does make it a treat. I haven't eaten meat in about 20 years. I will have a blt once in a great while, but as far as other meat, I ate it once 20+ years ago, and it made me ill. Since then I have tried several times but have a texture issue, and I do not like to smell it cooking. It's weird not sure what happened. Not a vegetarian, just odd. I get my protein through beans, nuts, and cottage cheese. I love anasazi beans, they are delicious.
Did you get your biscuits and gravy?

Husbands do a lot of gross things.:)

dH does a lot of gross things smeshque and I love cheese too,especially cheese puffs I like to make from time to time.Trouble is though,theyr'e expensive with the teeny tiny jar of Old English cheese they call for.It's almost $4.00 a jar,so it's a treat.
Your pizza sounded good smeshque,but where's the meat?

mushroom, bell pepper, black olive thin crust pizza and a salad.
its funny how people hate tomatoes but love ketchup. My husband is the same way. Doesn't put it on eggs though. That is kinda gross. But a lot of people do.
I would have difficulty giving up cheese.
