Yes, the peach recall has been going on for a while now. Our Giant store called us to tell us about it; I've been buying peaches whenever we grab a few groceries (I think twice now). Since they have copies of our receipts, I assume they're calling everybody who bought peaches. I bought some nectarines on Friday instead. And a couple plums. I never make anything with them; they don't last long enough! I love the things and they're the best part of summer, IMO.

Leftovers tonight. We have pot pie in the fridge and there's enough for both of us.

I had leftover pasta and made this sauteed eggplant recipe. The eggplant dish was really good and easy to make. Instead of the typical eggplant, I used locally grown neon eggplant. I don't know why it's called neon. It's smaller and has purple skin and a white inside and doesn't taste any different from the more common eggplant.

for dinner tonight i had green beans, mashed pototoes and cole slaw. not very nutritious but it was good. last night i had a grilled cheese sandwich. and chips. ugh. my orthopedic doctor told me i need to be on a high protein diet but i won't get that here.

So sounds like a green onion is a scallion.

Thank you! I will try to remember that.

Oh my, how fancy!

I don't know why it's called neon.

Maybe because it's such a bright, shiny color?

my orthopedic doctor told me i need to be on a high protein diet but i won't get that here.

My doctor wants me to eat more protein too, she said I'm not getting enough on my vegetarian diet. I got some tofu this week, hopefully that will help.

Leftover veggie chili tonight with spinach salad and honeycrisp apple for dessert.

Saturday night we had leftover brats on a bun with sauerkraut and onion and he finished up the rest of the potato salad,and tonight we had the rest of the leftover mashed potatoes,buttered beets and I heated up the slices of pork roast the kids sent home with us.

BBQ Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Pork Chops tonight

 

[Winchester]

Tonight will be burgers on the outside grill, crock pot beans, potato salad, and angel food cake with strawberries.

You know, for years, I used Rick's mom's recipe for baked beans and they are so good. They're the same beans that his church made for their chicken BBQ dinners that were such a hit in the area. Then I discovered crock pot beans. And that's all anybody wants. I even gave Dear Richard his choice: his mom's baked beans or crock pot. He said he wanted the crock pot beans. Ok, that works.

Is there a dietitian or nutritionist there who you could talk to about your dietary needs? You're there to heal, right, so surely they realize you need protein!

Burgers on the grill, oven baked fries and using up that last of the green beans and the last small zucchini that I grilled in a red wine evoo and feta marinade.

Finally tried the Morning Star Spicy Black Bean burger that I think Kat0121 recommended a long time ago, and I'm happy to say I really liked it. Definitely at the top of the list of store bought veggie burgers that I've tried.

I agree. It's the best one they make IMO. DD was very reluctant to try it so I gave her a bite of mine. I rarely got to have one after that.The spice is very good. Not too hot. Just enough to wake your taste buds up for a while.

I'm having some mojo chipotle marinated chicken and corn.

 

[LTS3]

Kale Caesar salad. I added a zucchini bread to my subscription order but what came was honey oat walnut banana bread. I took bites of a slice and tossed it. It was super dry I have the rest of the loaf in the fridge but I don't know if there's any way to moisten it or turn the loaf into some dessert.

Dinner was homemade buttermilk biscuits and ham and cheese omelets.

 

[Willowy]

Finally tried the Morning Star Spicy Black Bean burger

Yeah, they're my favorite too. I also like the original Gardenburger (so much cheese!), and Morningstar chik'n patties. I do NOT like the original Boca burgers. Ick.

I made General Tso's chicken in the Instant Pot. It's good, but it doesn't taste the same as last time and I'm not sure what I did differently. It's oddly bland even though I added extra garlic and ginger. Idk.

Tacos tonight

 

[Winchester]

LTS3 Can you slice a thicker slice and toast it? Put some preserves on the toast?

Leftovers tonight. We have potato salad and crock pot beans left. One hamburger, so we'll do some hot dogs, too.
That angel food cake was so good! It's been a long time. And while the strawberries left a bit to be desired (I think I threw most of them away), what we enjoyed was good. Store-bought berries just aren't that great. Leftover cake and Rick can have the berries.

 

[rubysmama]

Tonight is an egg salad sandwich and some salad. Possibly a small peach for dessert.

 

[miss eveliina]

Last night was steaks, onions, potatoes and corn all cooked up on our new pellet grill.

Tonight will be smoked pork belly, homemade coleslaw and salad.
I also have a piece of salmon that I’ll throw on the grill.
