I have been craving ice cream for a week or so.

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. 😊

Cwillie, we are blessed being so close to the growing fields. I am sad for you that you can't get good ones, such a nice summer treat.

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.

It's been a long time since I've had a really good cantaloupe or watermelon, the stuff they ship up here must be picked weeks before it's prime and no amount of waiting can ever fix that. And for some reason buying anything local in season generally means paying double what the imported crap costs.

Not dinner, breakfast; a nice BLT with watermelon.

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!

chili quesadilla
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.

birdee and cw - both sound good

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,

I'm making instant pot chili because I didn't feel like cooking and most of the ingredients just come out of a can.

Sweet potato curry for lunch main meal for mom and dad... thinking I'll feed myself peanut soba noodles and miso soup for my dinner later??

Pan fried salmon. persian cucumbers sauteed in ginger and garlic, cabbage and carrot fritters. Yogurt and strawberries for dessert.

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.😜

Cold rotisserie chicken with a salad - arugula, grape tomatoes, zucchini, scallions, and raspberry vinaigrette.
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.

Daisy - Your stuffed burgers sound really tasty! Meatloaf is always good. Keeping track of what's in the freezer can be a challenge.

Golden, Tupperware use to make them. I haven't seen them in years, was always a good idea. Might be easier to make stuff burgers. Sometimes, I make 2 flat patties , then put , cooked onions and peppers, sometimes cheese also, then put them together. They are really good.

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.

I bought a silicone burger mold.. It makes 8 from 2 lb of meat. So easy - press the meat in and snap on the lid. Then freeze the whole thing. The next day you just pop out the burgers, stick them in a baggie in the freezer, wash the mold and do it again. I did chicken burgers a few days ago and will do beef burgers tonight. I didn't season then or anything as I wanted to see if it worked. Tonight I will add some seasoning to the beef before making burgers with it. I like mine mostly meat anyway. Good purchase and cheaper, less fatty, better quality burgers than you can buy.

Your salad sounds good. Love a good Cobb salad.

I had to look up Green Goddess Dressing, that sounds so delicious. I am going to be making some, I just bought a ton of herbs, always have anchovy paste, lemons and mayo, so perfect timing.

Thanx for sharing, love all the new foods I have been introduced to here.

I had a mixed veggie salad with hard boiled eggs, turkey, cheese and green goddess dressing - yum yum yum. It's such a pain to prep all the veggies that I seldom make salads but when I do I really enjoy them, so I made enough extra for a small serving tomorrow. I also prepped some veg for a stir fry (or whatever), so I won't have any excuses!

CWillie, the 1st time I made it, I only used 2 teaspoons of hot sauce, Sriracha, red hot original and 1 siracha, for a 1.5 lb head and it was flavorful but not spicy. Adding the lemon pepper I think keeps the heat down.

I bet a BBQ sauce would be tasty instead of the hot sauce, something not sweet.

I never heard of Buffalo cauliflower before, it sounds like a great way to get people to eat their veggies. But I don't really like spicy foods, so I'll have to research some alternatives.

Buffalo cauliflower, oh my, this is so good we make total oinkers of ourselves, happy it's cauliflower. Homemade wedge fries and ranch dressing for cooling the heat, if needed.

Lemon pepper and Sriracha added to the recipe makes this a step above.

The ones we had R bought at a farmer's market and then threw in the freezer. They had that pillowy quality that cw mentions,. They would be "homemade". I don't know if you could get them in your area, Daisy. In his daily travels, R tends to check out farmer's markets.

Burnt - that's the right way to freeze many things, like berries, chopped veg etc. Harder for me now with out a big freezer, but I manage. I like to chop up and freeze veg that aren't being used up like bell peppers and also onions which makes meal prep easier.

@Drivingdaisy

I've had store-bought pierogi that weren't bad. They were fresh though, not frozen. If your grocery store has them they would be in the refridgerator case. If you can get fresh ones they're pretty good. If you have the time, make them yourself. They freeze very well and keep for a long time. Then you've got a meal any time you want.

If you make them yourself and want to freeze for future use here's how. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Lay out the pierogi evenly on it. Put in the freezer until they are almost frozen. Then transfer to freezer bags. The will keep for a long time. You cook them from frozen by putting them in boiling water (with a little oil so they don't stick).

Daisy, I use Kalona - Super Natural Organic sour cream. Oh my gosh!!! It is crazy delish.

Used to use dollop of Daisy until I tried the above.

"A dollop of Daisy!" Lol it's a sour cream commercial, if someone didn't know.

Daisy, I use the frozen ones. They make a quick dinner on busy days.

I have had homemade and I didn't think they were loads better than the frozen.

I think a really good sour cream makes a huge difference, as you know, not all are created equal.

Isthisrealllyreal, and burnt- thanks!

Are the frozen ones any good, wondering if I should try them first.

Burnt that sounds really good, sauteed, with onions and everything is better with butter! 😋
