Spaghetti tonight! I swear I was Italian in a past life, I love pasta so much. I'm having Three Wishes Cabernet Sauvignon as an appetizer. 
i'll toast a slice of bread, heat up some (homemade) sloppy joe mixture, and serve it on top the toasted bread. sliced cucumber and tomato with blue cheese salad dressing. and later in the evening, i'll have a slice of banana bread -- dessert! 
Leftovers from yesterday. I made enough pork and pineapple filling, fresh salsa, and corn tortillas for 3 meals. No cooking for me today!

Experimenting with my grilled chicken recipe. Potato salad as a side. Mint tea with spearmint from the garden. And cookies for a bit of dessert.
...and the same for tonight's dinner!i'll toast a slice of bread, heat up some (homemade) sloppy joe mixture, and serve it on top the toasted bread. sliced cucumber and tomato with blue cheese salad dressing. and later in the evening, i'll have a slice of banana bread -- dessert!
Leftovers here, too. Last night of tacos.
LOL, well...I didn't go shopping yesterday. Turns out I had a major Senior Moment. My check comes on the THIRD, not the FIRST of every month. Yeah, the first is tomorrow, but that's Sunday, so it would have been the Friday before. SO...tonight I'll be doing spaghetti. I'm scraping the bottom of my barrel. I actually have plenty of food left, it's just variety that is short right now.

We’re going out to dinner tonight for
My mom’s birthday
My mom’s birthday
I'm still trying to decide, but I'm flush with groceries and am thinking a brat, fresh corn on the cob, and sliced tomatoes. Maybe the zucchini pancakes I didn't like and need to get out of the freezer.
I had a Amy's burrito tonight. I am trying to get my fridge/freezer cleaned out because I need to get a new one. The freezer part is so full it is ridiculous and I am so tired of eating the same old stuff all the time.

, would some applesauce go well with/over the zucchini pancakes? 
muffy
, always challenging to clear out a fridge/freezer. 
but will be great once the new fridge arrives!! 
i'll make some pasta or rice, i'm leaning toward pasta, to go with the Mexican veggie and ground chicken casserole which i have a container of thawed in the fridge. a slice of banana bread later in the evening.
I don't like applesauce, but I fried them to crispy, and they weren't half bad. My big coup for the night was putting the corn in the microwave. I shucked it, buttered and seasoned it, then wrapped it in waxed paper and microwaved for 2 minutes. Fabulous! Perfect corn and no pot to wash.
I had a multi-grain tomato sandwich with vegan mayo. I am not much of cook so I just have easy stuff. I also had mac-salad I brought at Safeway. It was very good.

Well, lunch was typical--milk milked on Friday and 2 eggs hatched yesterday, which is GREAT but it's been kind of hot and my appetite crapped out.
I've been on my own today and dinner didn't sound good until we were delivered green beans picked like an hour ago!!
I set some steak out and we'll have these, the beans, and maybe some kind of potato or corn bread!
The cats today got rabbit.
The dogs got bison and turkey and yogurt. They are LOVING yogurt and often eat this FIRST, ignoring the meat to get the yogurt.
Everyone got a tiny piece of parsley, finely shredded, on the side of their meals because I always like seeing who eats it and who doesn't. Most of the dogs ate some, a few grabbed it, spat it out, some of the cats DEVOURED it and one cat in particular picked it up, swished it around her mouth, and spat it about 4 feet across the room.

1Bruce1--- We had that growing up too, we called it "Tomato & Toast."
Muffy--- Was your vegan mayo called Vegenaise? I've had that before, it's really good. I love mac salad too, I prefer it over potato salad.
Tonight I had tossed salad made into a meal with all the fixings- dried cranberries, pears, croutons, nuts, and Thousand Island Dressing. With Three Wishes Merlot wine for appetizer & dessert.

I used to make mac salad and I lost the recipe, but it was a lot of mustard, a lot of mayo, a bit of celery, a pinch of sugar, the pasta of course and egg. I need to play with it again and see if I could re create. It was SO good =(

We had pizza, done in the pizza oven on the grill. I made the dough fresh this morning. Nothing fancy, a basic pizza with caramelized onions, turkey pepperoni, and mozz. But boy, it was good. We made two small ones and there's one piece left for Rick's lunch tomorrow.
There's a dough ball in the freezer for a pizza later on. We really like that pizza oven. It does a great job. Two pizzas done in about five minutes!

Just had a piece of chicken breast filet in white wine sauce, rice and mushroom pilaf, and buttered cauliflower/peas/peppers.
...and I just could not bring myself to give away that chicken skin. I made cracklins' to sprinkle over the veggies for a little tasty crunch.
Usually the cats get unsalted cracklins for treats, but today I said, "Some of these are mine, all mine!"
